HP 54616C 2 GSa/s 500 MHz 2 Channel Color Oscilloscope

The Feel of Analog: When you're troubleshooting, you want to stay focused on two things: your circuit and the scope's display. You don't want to waste time pressing buttons or waiting for the scope to update. That's why the HP 54616C has front-panel controls that look and work like the controls on your old analog scope. Color provides the ability to identify and interpret the information on the display quickly, without taking attention off the task at hand.

The Power of Digital: Digitized waveforms open up entirely new possibilities, such as pretriggering, autoscale to automatically set voltage, time and trigger parameters, the ease and accuracy of automatic measurements, saving and recall of traces, hardcopy output to printers, and remote control with your computer.
