Agilent Technologies InfiniiVision 6000 Series Oscilloscopes Data Sheet Engineered for the best signal visibility
If you haven’t purchased an Agilent scope lately, why should you consider one now? Agilent has been the fastest growing oscilloscope supplier since 1997 (source: Prima Data, 2007). There is no better way to experience the superiority of the InfiniiVision 6000 Series scopes than to see it. Contact Agilent today to request an evaluation.
What gives the InfiniiVision 6000 Series the best signal visibility? 1. High resolution Oscilloscopes are visual tools and high-resolution screens make the product better. High resolution displays have become increasingly important as general purpose scopes need to display digital and serial signals in addition to traditional scope channels. View up to 20 channels simultaneously with serial protocol. See subtle signal detail with up to 256 levels of intensity. 2.
Your design has analog, digital and serial signals ... shouldn’t your scope? Analog: Up to 1 GHz bandwidth and up to 4 GSa/s sample rate The InfiniiVision 6000 Series scope channels provide faster identification of your most elusive problems – Revolutionary high-resolution display. Engineered with an XGA display and 256 levels of intensity grading, see a precise representation of the analog characteristics of the signals you’re testing.
Other useful features High resolution mode. Offers up to 12 bits Trig Out and Reference Clock In/Out. of vertical resolution in real-time, single-shot Provides an easy way to synchronize your mode. This is accomplished by serially filter- scope to other instruments.
Why does a fast update rate matter? While bandwidth, sample rate and memory depth are key criteria for deciding which scope to purchase, an equally important characteristic is update rate. What is update rate? Update rate is how many waveforms acquisitions per seconds you scope can acquire, process, and display. Oscilloscope “dead-time” is the time it takes for a scope to process and then display an acquired waveform before re-arming it’s triggering for the next acquisition.
How update rate affects signal visibility Capturing random and infrequent events on an oscilloscope is all about statistical probabilities. The key to improving the probability of capturing a signal anomaly is to minimize dead-time and take more pictures of the signal in a given timeframe. Here is an example with Tek and Agilent scopes both connected to a target with a glitch that occurs 25 times per second.
Software applications I2C/SPI serial trigger and decode (N5423A or Option LSS on new scope purchases) This application displays real-time timealigned decode of I2C and SPI serial buses. Hardware-accelerated decode means the scope stays responsive and fast. This application requires a 4-channel DSO or 4-channel MSO and can use any combinatio of the scope or logic acquisition channels.

Software applications FPGA dynamic probe application (N5406A for Xilinx, N5434A for Altera) Give your MSO internal FPGA visibility. Agilent’s MSO FPGA dynamic probe provides internal FPGA visibility and quick instrument setup using an innovative core-assisted debug approach. Measurement tasks that previously took hours can be done in a few mouse clicks. In a few seconds, easily measure a different set of internal signals without changing your FPGA design. This application works with all MSO models.
Software applications and other accessories Mask testing (N5455A or Option LMT) Mask testing uncovers an infrequent signal anomaly. Agilent’s mask test option (Option LMT or N5455A) for InfiniiVision Series oscilloscopes provides a fast and easy way to test your signals to specified standards, and uncover unexpected signal anomalies, such as glitches. Mask testing on other oscilloscopes is based on software-intensive processing technology, which tends to be slow.
Probes and accessories Agilent offers a complete family of innovative passive and active probes for the InfiniiVision 6000 Series scopes to get your job done easily and accurately. Choosing the correct probe for your application will help to ensure you are acquiring the signals you expect. Below is a general guide on how to choose the type of probe.

Connectivity The 6000 Series scopes come with the most comprehensive connectivity tools in their class. LXI class C LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation (LXI) is a standards-based architecture for test systems. By specifying the interaction of system components, LXI enables fast and efficient test system creation and reconfiguration. The 6000 Series oscilloscopes follow specified LAN protocols and adhere to LXI requirements such as a built-in Web control server, IVI-COM driver, and easy-touse SCPI commands.
