Product description: This is a 54610B 2 channel 500 MHz repetitive digital oscilloscope! This 54610B is calibrated and passes all self-tests. It has a nice clean display and traditional control knobs. One 10430A 500 MHz 10:1 probe is included. This scope architecture allows for software and hardware options to be easily added on with options that snap on to the rear. This one has the measurement storage 54657A module with FFT. What you get: You get what you see in the pictures. (NOT the test board) The pictures are of the actual unit. You can interpret some functionality by studying the pictures. (Milk the front panel) Choosing the right scope for your application You need to purchase the right scope for your application. In general the first consideration is bandwidth. If a scope’s bandwidth is specified at 500 MHz, then that means that it will have a flat response over a frequency spectrum from DC to the specified bandwidth limit. Of course it is not flat to the high limit. The spec’d upper bandwidth limit is the point at which the scope response is at minimum .707 of the actual signal level. Ideally the upper bandwidth roll off is Gaussian at 6 db per octave. But bandwidth is not that simple. You need to be aware of the bandwidth in both the “Single Shot / Real Time” mode as well as the “Repetitive” mode. Repetitive mode… In the repetitive mode the waveform is constructed by triggering and acquiring data on successive repeating events. If the particular signal of interest is repetitive like a system clock, then a very accurate waveform can be constructed from repeated acquisitions. Data is randomly captured into a circular buffer through an A/D converter. Then a fine interpolator is used to precisely (40 psec or better) measure the time between the last sample taken and the analog trigger event. Data can now be placed in a memory buffer precisely positioned in time. With successive acquisitions, the buffer is eventually filled. High bandwidth can be achieved with relatively less expensive A/D converters. “Real Time / Single Shot” mode… In this mode, the entire waveform must be captured on a single trigger. Naturally this requires a very high performance FAST A/D converter. The fine interpolator is still used to place data precisely relative to the analog trigger event. The bottom line on bandwidth… If you are trouble shooting and looking for a rare glitch that might cause an error in your system, you need to think about “Real Time / Single Shot bandwidth”. One trigger for one full waveform! On the other hand if you are designing a clock distribution system and are looking at repetitive clocks, then repetitive bandwidth will work fine for you. Bandwidth, Sample rate, channel count, memory depth, and trigger features must all be considered. If you are trouble shooting logic circuits, the complex trigger features will be very important. I would rate trigger features as the second most important feature. Can you trigger on a narrow pulse or a glitch that is a rarely occurring event? Pattern and glitch trigger are essential if you are doing any serious trouble shooting. Do you really need 4 channels? If not you will pay a premium for something you may never use. The attenuators on the front end are expensive, and yes it is worth it if you need it. Let’s say you are measuring setup and hold on a flip flop. You need to see input, output and clock. That’s three! Of all the scopes I sell, the HP 54610B, 54501A and the 54503A are optimized to be high bandwidth repetitive scopes. They do have a lower single shot bandwidth capability. The 54502, 54504,5,6,54510A/B and 54512B are the Single Shot scopes designed for Single Shot work. They could easily have 500 MHz repetitive bandwidth like the 54503A but their analog bandwidth has been dinged slightly to prevent aliasing during digital reconstruction. The 54510A\B have a 1 GSa/s A/D converter so the sample interval is 1 nsec. We like 4 samples per period for reconstruction so a 250 MHz signal (4 nsec period) would be sampled 4 times by a 1 GSa/s A/D. Note in the table that some scopes are BOTH single shot and repetitive.

Also deep memory and memory bar display The 54720A/D is a very high performance separate family of scopes see my write up on this line of scopes I was product support engineer on this product before I retired. Any 545XX I sell will be fully tested for all these possible failures. It will also be fully calibrated. I do not have an ISO traceable cal lab, but any unit I sell will pass calibration at an ISO lab. If you have problems, please contact me for fair resolution. Electronic condition: Passes all self-test and is calibrated. Cosmetic condition… This is a very clean unit. See the pictures. The Display is crisp and clear with no menu pattern or trace burn in. - Shipping and Handling… I will add shipping to your invoice based on location. I charge only for the actual shipping cost. I ship UPS ground if in the USA. International shipping (some countries are NOT possible) Contact me for shipping cost. If international, I ship USPS express mail. On heavy items I would prefer to ship to you on your DHL account. If not your DHL account, I can ship USPS express mail international but only if the item conforms to size limitations set by your countries’ customs. (Example… Germany has a limit of 108 inches of girth + length). Some countries have the limit at 96 inches. Warranty… Contact me for fair resolution on any problem. Thanks for looking. Feel free to contact me with questions. About Watronics… I am a retired (35Year) HP/Agilent Oscilloscope design engineer. I buy HP/Agilent scopes on EBAY that are in need of repair. If they are listed as; “parts only”, “Condition unknown”, or “as is”, I bid. I then recondition them such that they pass all self-test and pass calibration. Of course not all units can be repaired. I disassemble these units for parts. Agilent has classified many of these units as obsolete and parts are not available from Agilent. I have accumulated many of the obsolete parts and many are listed in my store “watronics92” I will run the auto self cal on any unit I sell, but I do not have an ISO certified lab. Any unit I sell will pass calibration at an ISO calibration lab.
