Yes that is correct but be careful with Chinese clone because there could be firmware issues. But that is the correct model except they do not show what is printed on its back. My company TANTRATRON in France has bought recently 5 used of these units from Europe, in fact from Hungary via eBay.

The advantage of these legacy NI (National Instruments) is that NI offers free software for Windows, MacOS and Linux so you can really do very serious stuff with TDSxxx and other test lab projects. I do use MacOS only for years where it is not clear if Agilent is so Universal with different platform.

Ironically the chinese clone of NI-GPIB-USB states original from Hungary but someone needs to explain why these units are sold from China... there must a catch but maybe I'm too paranoid

Tantratron:
P.S. Regarding chinese clone of National Instruments NI-GPIB-USB issues, there is one interesting thread https://www.electronics-lab.com/community/index.php?/topic/48408-ni-gpib-usb-hs-issues-no-original-fake-hack-firmware-replacement-from-orginal/&tab=comments#comment-165981

Yes I read that.
Today I bought this clone from max-bit but I only need this adapter for firmware upgrade and other testing. If this works with sw ver 17.0 I think that is this good for me.

lastguy:
Interesting to found the problem is not counterfeit from China, but NS 17.6 added counterfeit check, to make it works NS removed all its older legal parts, so these NS parts becomes counterfeil.
the solution is to use NS 17.0. not sure current solution.
