The Agilent/Keysight 54815A Infiniium Oscilloscope is a 4-channel, 500 MHz bandwidth instrument delivering 1 GSa/s sample rate across all channels simultaneously. Built for design validation and signal troubleshooting, it combines a Windows-based graphical interface with an intuitive analog-style front panel featuring dedicated scale and position controls per channel. The 54815A captures transient events with 1 ns peak detect capability and updates waveforms at 50,000 wfms/s, enabling rapid anomaly identification through color-grade persistence visualization.

– Key Features
Advanced Triggering: Captures glitch, pattern, state, delay by time/events, setup/hold time, transition, and video events. Pulse width triggering resolves pulses as narrow as 500 ps; edge triggering captures 800 ps transitions. Video triggering supports NTSC (525 lines/60 Hz), PAL (625 lines/50 Hz), and 875 lines/60 Hz with field and line-level selectivity. Time-qualified pattern triggering windows from 20 ns to 160 ms.
Analysis & Measurement: FFT and histogram functions characterize frequency content and signal variation. Eye diagrams simplify communications design validation. Auto-mask and mask test functions establish tolerance envelopes for automated pass/fail comparison. Communications mask test option validates conformance to ANSI T1.102, IEEE 802.3, and ITU-T G.703 standards. Measurement statistics and delayed sweep available.
Interface & Storage: Drag-and-drop measurement positioning. Built-in guidance system. 5 GB hard drive and 120 MB LS-120 SuperDisk floppy storage.
– Compatibility & Integration
Connectivity includes Centronics, RS-232, GPIB, 10/100 Mbps LAN, and USB 2.0 for instrument control, data transfer, and system integration.
