Agilent Technologies 6000 Series Oscilloscopes Data Sheet The fastest way to debug your design
The standard for high-performance portable scopes A wide selection lets you choose the 6000 Series model that best matches your needs. The performance and problem solving tools you need to more quickly debug your analog, digital and serial design challenges, in a single instrument. • 100 MHz, 300 MHz, 500 MHz and 1 GHz bandwidths Identify your most elusive problems faster with: Fast update rate View infrequent anomalies that most scopes miss with an update rate 5000 times better than the competition.
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 6000 Series scope channels provide faster identification of the most elusive problems. • Revolutionary high-resolution display. Engineered with a XGA display and 256 levels of intensity (color grading), see a precise representation of the analog characteristics of the signals you’re testing.
If you haven’t purchased an Agilent oscilloscope lately, why should you consider one now? Leading-edge technology Industry-leading customer support Don’t take our word for it The 6000 Series oscilloscopes incorporate third generation MegaZoom III technology blocks – responsive deep memory, fast update rates with minimal “dead time” and analog-like display systems – and deliver them in a compact package.
Other nice features High resolution mode Offers up to 12 bits of vertical resolution in real-time, single-shot mode. This is accomplished by serially filtering sequential data points and mapping the filtered results to the display when operating at base settings greater than 10-µs/div. AutoProbe interface Automatically sets probe attenuation factors and provides power for selected Infiniium active probes, including the award-winning 1130A 1.5-GHz InfiniiMax differential active probe and 1156A 1.
Why does deep memory matter? See more time This is the most easily understood use of deep memory. The more samples that you acquire, the more time that you can see at a particular sample rate. Long capture times give you better visibility into cause-effect relationships in your design, which greatly simplifies root-cause debugging. It also allows you to capture start-up events (like the start-up sequence below) in a single acquisition.
Why does a fast update rate matter? … improves your chances of finding random events like glitches. And like all other aspects of MegaZoom III technology, this is a real-time acquisition mode. It’s always fast, always on. 100000 10000 1000 100 10 0E -0 5 1. 1. 0E -0 6 1 1. Waveforms per second Reducing the dead time between acquisitions … The Agilent 6000 series fast update rate is truly uncompromised.
Connectivity Our customers tell us that oscilloscope connectivity is an increasingly important feature of their test instruments. That’s why the 6000 Series scopes come with the most comprehensive hardware and software connectivity tools in their class. IntuiLink toolbars Hardware connectivity Scope View logic analyzer and oscilloscope correlation IntuilLink gives you a quick way to move screen shots and data into Microsoft® Word and Excel. These toolbars can be installed from www.agilent.
Probes and accessories Agilent offers a complete family of innovative passive and active probes for the 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. Probe type Below is a general guide on how to choose the type of probe. For the most up-to-date information about Agilent’s accessories, please visit our web site at www.agilent.com/find/ scope_probes.
Software applications FPGA dynamic probe (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.
Software applications (continued) CRC error Random errors observed in CAN decode while triggering on data frame ID: 07FHEX. CAN/LIN triggering and decode (N5424A or Option AMS on new scope purchases) Trigger on and decode serially transmitted data based on CAN and LIN protocols. This application not only provides triggering on complex serial signals, but also provides unique hardware-accelerated decode capabilities.
Agilent 6000 Series oscilloscopes: The fastest way to debug your analog, digital and serial designs. MegaZoom III deep memory helps you determine how your signals are impacting each other. With shallow memory scopes, you have to choose whether you look at a slow analog signal or fast digital content. With up to 8 Mpts deep memory, you don’t have to choose – capture all of your data at once.
Built-in storage compartment allows you to store probes and power cord for easy access and transportation. Quickly pan and zoom for analysis with MegaZoom III’s instant response and optimum resolution. QuickMeas shows up to four automated measurements with the push of a button. QuickPrint automatically prints your screen or saves screen images to a connected USB storage device with automated file names.
Accessories Battery power option (Option BAT – factory installed) Agilent 6000 Series oscilloscopes provide an optional internal rechargeable lithium ion battery that will enable 2+ hours without line power. Specifically designed for applications where line power is not available or where you need to take your scope with you but you need more power than a handheld scopemeter provides. New oscilloscopes equipped with this option can also be operated off of the N5429A 12-V automotive adapter.
