Analog feel and digital power for precise,
accurate troubleshooting at an affordable price
With many models to choose from, you will be able
to pick the oscilloscope that best fits your measurement and troubleshooting needs while meeting
your budget.
Displays you can trust
Agilent Technologies 54600-series oscilloscopes
feature real-time vector displays that give you a
clear and accurate picture of your waveforms.
Like analog oscilloscope displays, these enhanced
displays give you waveform slew rate information
at a glance, with brighter traces representing more
slowly changing waveforms and dimmer traces
representing more rapidly changing waveforms.
The multiprocessor architecture of Agilent 54600series oscilloscopes permits a display update rate
of up to 3.0 million points per second. This fast
display update means the oscilloscope screen
reflects changes in the waveform instantaneously,
giving you the display responsiveness you need
to make adjustments quickly and see complex
waveforms accurately.
Powerful digital features
The digital architecture of Agilent 54600-series
oscilloscopes gives you a multitude of features that
help you get your job done easier and faster:
• Pretrigger viewing capability lets you view
events that you’d miss with an analog scope.
This feature lets you see what happened before
the trigger event, so you can troubleshoot more
effectively.
• Autoscale frees you from resetting the scope
every time you move the probe from test point
to test point. You simply hit the autoscale button
and it sets voltage, time and trigger parameters
for you.
• With autostore, the waveform displays at full
brightness while all previously acquired waveforms remain on the scope’s screen at half brightness. You see a history of waveform activity while
simultaneously viewing the live waveform.
• Automatic measurements of voltage, frequency
and time, plus user-defined cursor measurements,
make waveform characterization fast and easy.
• With peak detect, you won’t have to worry about
missing narrow glitches.

The Agilent 54600 series includes eight models
designed to meet your needs and your budget:
54600B 100 MHz oscilloscope
With 100 MHz bandwidth, two input channels,
and sweep speeds from 2 ns/div to 5 ns/div,
the 54600B is ideal for benchtop troubleshooting,
production test, field service, and education—
or anywhere else you need a dependable scope
with solid performance.
54645A MegaZoom oscilloscope
The 54645A is a dual-channel 100 MHz oscilloscope
with 200 MSa/s and a full 1 MB of memory behind
each of its channels. Through the application of
MegaZoom technology, accessing this deep-memory
is as easy as turning a knob—pan and zoom
through the deep captured waveform to search for
other troubleshooting clues.
54602B 4 (2 + 2)-channel oscilloscope
When you need more than 100 MHz of bandwidth,
take a closer look at the 54602B scope. You get
the same capabilities as the 54600B but with the
added advantage of a 150 MHz bandwidth, 4 (2+2)
channels, and 1 mV/div sensitivity.
54603B 60 MHz oscilloscope
The 54603B was designed with the tight budgets
of colleges and universities in mind. Students can
use the 60 MHz, 2-channel 54603B to understand
circuit operation and learn standard measurement
techniques on the same type of equipment they
are likely to use when they graduate.
54610B 500 MHz oscilloscope
This lowest-cost, 2-channel 500 MHz scope offers
a viewable external trigger and horizontal accuracy
of 0.001%. The 54610B capabilities are well-suited
for production test applications as well as general
purpose troubleshooting.
54615B 1 GSa/s oscilloscope
With the 54615B you can capture narrow glitches
and subtle details of your signal. This 2-channel
scope combines 500 MHz bandwidth, 1 GSa/s sample rate and 1 nanosecond peak detection on both
channels. The 54615B peak detection allows the
scope to maintain the 1 GSa/s sample rate at all
sweep speeds. A horizontal accuracy of 0.005%
means you can make critical timing measurements
with confidence.
54616B/C 2 GSa/s oscilloscope
The top-of-the-line 54616B offers the same benefits
as the 54615B but with twice the sample rate—
2 GSa/s sampling rate, 500 MHz bandwidth, and
1 nanosecond peak detection. Plus, if you prefer
a color display for waveform viewing, the 54616C
color version is available.
Expandable features to meet your changing needs
The Agilent 54600-series oscilloscopes can be easily
and inexpensively upgraded with add-on modules
and software to provide advanced capabilities:
• Interface modules give you remote control and
hard-copy output to RS-232, GPIB, and parallel
printers and plotters.
• Measurement Storage modules offer interfacing
and printing plus advanced features like FFT,
mask testing, and additional memory.
• Agilent BenchLink XL 54600 free software captures screen images, gathers waveform data,
and stores instrument setups, all from the familiar environment of MS Excel or Word. Ships free
with each module.
• Optional Agilent BenchLink Scope is a standalone software package for bringing waveform
images and points into your PC. Use it when
you need Windows 3.1 compatibility, don’t have
Excel or Word, or need to access trace memory
from your PC.
Enhanced TV/video trigger
With Option 005 you gain the ability to trigger
and perform highly detailed measurements on
the video components of your system. For more
information see Agilent publication number
5968-2611. Not available on the 54600B, 54603B,
or 54645D scopes.
