Keysight EXR054A Oscilloscope, Infiniium EXR-Series, 500 MHz, 4 Channels

Description

Most bench problems sit well below the gigahertz range. The Keysight EXR054A oscilloscope is an Infiniium EXR-Series model with 500 MHz of bandwidth and four analog channels. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale in Vietnam.

500 MHz and four inputs

Four channels cover the usual debug set, such as a clock, a data line, a supply rail and a trigger. Meanwhile, 500 MHz leaves room for fast edges on common embedded buses, so most routine work stays comfortable. The photo shows a measurement table under the waveforms, which helps when you log results. As a result, one screen can hold both the picture and the numbers.

Treat the Keysight EXR054A oscilloscope as a general-purpose bench scope. Because of that, it suits engineers who move between digital, analog and power work in one day. However, it is not a fit for very fast serial links, so check your fastest edge first.

Everyday work for the Keysight EXR054A oscilloscope

• Microcontroller and sensor bus debugging.
• Ripple and switching checks on power stages.
• Motor-control timing between a gate drive and its feedback.
• Teaching labs that need a capable four-channel scope.

Confirm the build before you commit

The listing flags six items to settle for the exact unit: probes, MSO capability, analysis licenses, memory, interfaces and calibration. Therefore, ask for each in writing, because a scope with the right bandwidth can still disappoint when a license or probe is missing. Therefore, also say how many probes you want, because four channels need four.

Rent for a project, buy for the bench

Rent when a bring-up, audit or customer demo has an end date, because then you pay only for the project. However, buy when the scope never leaves the bench. Either way, request a quote from Lost in HCM with your probe list and delivery city. Other scopes sit in the oscilloscope category. If the order route is unclear, contact SMK Vietnam. The Keysight website carries the maker’s own documentation.

EXR054A questions

Is 500 MHz enough for my design?

It depends on your fastest edge. A common rule of thumb is bandwidth well above the signal you must see, so check your fastest signal first.

Does the EXR054A have eight channels?

No, the listing shows four analog channels. If you need more inputs, ask Lost in HCM about eight-channel EXR models.

Does it include mixed-signal inputs?

The listing does not say. It asks buyers to confirm MSO capability, so state your digital channel needs in the request.
