Keysight 54542C Oscilloscope

Overview

The Keysight 54542C is a 500 MHz, 4-channel real-time oscilloscope designed for high-frequency signal measurement and analysis in design, R&D, and manufacturing test environments. With 2 GSa/s sample rate and 32 KB of acquisition memory per channel, it provides the performance and features needed to accurately capture and analyze high-speed digital and analog signals.

Key Features

• 500 MHz analog bandwidth on 4 channels
• 2 GSa/s maximum sample rate on all channels
• 32 KB acquisition memory per channel
• 1 ns peak detect for capturing narrow events at low sweep speeds
• Advanced logic triggering: edge, pattern, state, and delay-based triggering
• Glitch triggering down to 1 ns width
• Sequential single-shot acquisition for capturing successive events
• Built-in FFT for frequency domain analysis
• Template mask comparison and limit testing with auto-waveform parameter measurements
• Color display with pan and zoom capabilities
• Built-in 3.5-inch disk drive for storing waveforms, setups, and screen images
• Full HP-IB programmability
