Specifications & characteristics
The following tables list the performance specifications and operating characteristics for the
Agilent Technologies 54830 Series oscilloscopes. Asterisks (*) denotes warranted specifications,
all others are typical. Specifications are valid after a 30 minute warm-up period, and within ± 5
°C from the self-calibration temperature.

Sampling Modes Real Time
Normal Successive single shot acquisitions.
Peak Detect Captures and displays narrow pulses
or glitches at all real time sample rates.
Hi Resolution Real-time boxcar averaging reduces
random noise and increases vertical
resolution.
Equivalent Time Random Repetitive sampling (higher
time resolution at fast sweep speeds).
Filters (Sin x)/x Interpolation: On/Off selectable FIR digital filter. Digital waveform
processing adds points between acquired data points to enhance
measurement accuracy and waveform display quality.
Averaging Selectable from 2 to 4096.
