The HP/Agilent 54645A is a 2-channel, 100 MHz digital oscilloscope engineered for deep memory capture and high-resolution waveform analysis. MegaZoom technology enables intuitive pan-and-zoom navigation through deep captured waveforms, allowing engineers to isolate subtle signal details and transient events. With 1 MB memory per channel, 200 MSa/s sampling, and 8-bit vertical resolution, the instrument delivers the acquisition depth and speed necessary for complex signal characterization. Advanced triggering—including glitch detection, TV sync support, and noise-reject coupling—combined with selectable input impedance (1 MΩ or 50Ω) and ±400 V maximum input rating, supports diverse measurement scenarios. The responsive front panel and high-speed display update rate (3 million points/second) minimize dead time, making it suitable for demanding production and field applications.
