The Agilent/Keysight DSO5052A is a 500 MHz, 2-channel digital storage oscilloscope engineered for signal capture, analysis, and protocol decode across electronics testing, education, and research environments. Built on Keysight’s MegaZoom III architecture, it delivers 4 GSa/s sampling at up to 12-bit vertical resolution with minimal acquisition dead time—ideal for detailed transient characterization and continuous monitoring.

– Key Features
MegaZoom III Technology minimizes dead time during deep memory acquisition and delivers instant response to scaling, panning, and zoom operations across stored waveforms.
Triggering & Decode includes hardware-accelerated triggering and decoding for I2C, SPI, I2S, FlexRay, MIL-STD 1553, CAN, LIN, and RS-232/UART protocols. Video triggering supports analog HDTV/EDTV formats (1080i, 1080p, 720p, 480p) and standard video (NTSC, SECAM, PAL, PAL-M).
Analysis Tools encompass FFT, up to 100,000 real-time mask tests/s, statistical measurement data (mean, min, max, std dev, count), and a 5-digit hardware counter measuring frequency to 500 MHz.
Connectivity: USB host (front/rear), USB device (high-speed PC), 10/100 Mbit LAN, GPIB, XGA display out. LXI Class C compliant with full remote control and web browser interface. Built-in 10 MHz reference in/out and rear-panel Trig Out for instrument synchronization.
– Typical Applications
Signal integrity verification, serial protocol analysis, video signal testing, transient capture, frequency measurements, and real-time waveform validation in production and field environments.
– Compatibility & Integration
AutoProbe Interface automatically configures probe attenuation and powers selected Infiniium active probes.
