Award-winning scopes
Infiniium has received eight
industry awards to date, including EDN’s “Innovation of the
Year” award (twice) and T&M
World’s “Best in Test.” Agilent is
committed to breaking new
ground and providing tools that
bring unique value to engineers.
Now with deep-memory technology, Infiniium scopes
make it faster and easier to see what’s happening in your design.
The performance you need
• 600 MHz to 2.25 GHz bandwidth
• Up to 8 GSa/s
• 2- and 4-channel models
• Up to 4 Mpts standard;
up to 16 Mpts optional
• Advanced probing solutions
A deep-memory scope doesn’t
have to be difficult to use.
Infiniium scopes from Agilent
Technologies can simplify your
debugging tasks and help you
easily discover intermittent
problems in your design.

Easy access to advanced features
Familiar Windows®-based graphical user interface makes it easy
to navigate and access advanced
features.
Simple things are simple
Analog-like front panel provides
simple controls for basic functions — easy to find and easy
to use.
“Everything is where you want it to
be. Readouts, knobs — they are easy
to see, easy to use.”
Matt Berger
Senior Engineering Technician
National Semiconductor
Automatic deep memory with
instant response
With Infiniium’s deep memory,
you can easily make long singleshot acquisitions and search
through your data with instant
response.
“Other scopes are hard to use, hard to
maneuver. With Infiniium, it’s easy to
find your way around when you’re
looking for advanced features.”
Norm Reed
Radar Systems Technologist
Canadian Department of
National Defense
Convenient communication and
data sharing
PC architecture with a standard
LAN interface makes it easy to
share your work and communicate your results.
“We use Infiniium to save large quantities of screen shots on our LAN —
then we pull them up immediately
over the network. It saves a lot of time
and a lot of hassle.”
Stu Nuffer
Senior Systems Engineer
LSI Logic
”Complex triggering has its place, but
sometimes I just want to capture
everything and look at it.”

Here’s what engineers are saying about their Infiniium scopes.
Infiniium scopes use advanced
MegaZoom technology so you get
all the benefits of fast, automatic, affordable deep memory. Due
to its unique ASIC architecture,
this powerful memory management system called MegaZoom
can search through up to 16 million points of continuous signal
history without the usual bottlenecks and frustrating delays.
Instant Response
While first-generation deepmemory scopes update the
display slowly, Infiniium’s
MegaZoom memory management
system instantaneously updates
the display even with a 16 Mpts
memory on. And deep memory
is on all the time — so you
always have the maximum available sample rate and don’t
undersample or miss fast events.
Discover problems you never
found with your first-generation
deep-memory scope.

Deep memory without annoying delays
Optimum Resolution
Get the insight you need to solve
your debugging challenges in a
fraction of the time it used to
take. Just press the Autoscale
key to automatically adjust the
sample rate to achieve the best
waveform resolution. Then, as
you change the horizontal scale
to display more time and view
your entire signal, MegaZoom
adds more memory to give you
the fastest sample rate and best
resolution possible. Now you can
see events as narrow as 250 ps
without using a special mode
such as peak detect.
Affordable Deep Memory
Every Infiniium with MegaZoom
is a deep-memory oscilloscope
with a standard 4 Mpt memory
(or 2 Mpt memory on each
channel). Memory options to
16 Mpts (or 8 Mpts on each
channel) are available and cost
up to 60 percent less than the
price of first-generation deep
memory oscilloscopes. Infiniiums
are affordable enough that
all of your scopes can be
deep-memory models.
By combining powerful features,
ease of use, and the right specifications, Infiniium scopes help
you find answers faster. A simple, analog-like front panel,
Windows-based interface, and
powerful connectivity capabilities make high-performance features accessible and uncomplicated. All with the performance
and features you need for
today’s demanding jobs.

Infiniium’s deep memory is easy to use for all your debugging tasks
Look at signal details
Find anomalies
Correlate slow analog
and fast digital signals
Math and FFTs on 16 Mpts
Verify signal integrity
Drag and drop markers with your
mouse or use the arrow keys.
See fast events — as fast as 250 ps —
without using special modes like peak
detect. Peak points are displayed in a
darker color than the waveform indicating more data points are available. Just
zoom in to see the event in detail.
See your signal more clearly with a
large (8.4-inch) high-resolution color
display. Infiniium's bright TFT display
with anti-glare coating lets you see the
details of your signal from all angles.
Store all your setups and results on
the 5-GB hard drive for future recall or
sharing via the LAN interface.
Remote access with web-enabled
connectivity, e-mail on trigger, and
GPIB over LAN.

Pick out anomalies easily with
color-graded persistence, a colorful
visual representation of waveform
distribution.
QuickMeas+ gives you any four auto-
mated measurements with the push of
a button. You can also configure this
key to print/save screen shots, save
waveforms, or load a favorite setup.
Infiniium: “It’s like someone who sits down and
actually uses a scope designed this one.”

Get fast answers to your questions
with the built-in information system.
Infiniium's task-oriented Setup Guide
provides step-by-step instructions for
several advanced measurements and
procedures.
Maximum sample rate and resolution
on every measurement. The scope
automatically adjusts memory depth
as you use it, so you get maximum
sample rate and resolution on every
measurement. You don't even have to
think about it.
7
Autoscale automatically sets deep
memory to the amount required for
the maximum sample rate and resolution. You never have to set deep memory manually.
Built-in CD-Rom drive on rear panel
allows you to update the system
software conveniently.
A familiar interface makes simple
tasks simple. Infiniium's analog-like
front panel has a full set of controls
color coded to the LEDs, waveforms,
and measurements.
Easy access to advanced features
like math and FFTs, is provided by the
Windows-based graphical user interface. This GUI also gives you unique
capabilities like drag-and-drop measurements and zooming, and offers a graphical equivalent to all front panel controls.
AutoProbe interface completely
configures your scope for use with
a wide range of passive, active and
differential probes.
10/100 Mbps LAN interface lets you
easily print waveforms on networked
printers, save your results on your
office PC, and share information with
others.
Hands-free operation with the
Infiniium VoiceControl option. Just
speak into the collar-mounted
microphone to operate front-panel
controls (now available with all
Infiniium models).
Label waveforms and add notes to
your screen captures — Infiniium's
keyboard makes it easy.
120 MB LS-120 SuperDisk floppy drive
makes it easy to save your work
(to super floppies or standard 1.44 MB
3.5-inch disks).
Zoom and search with instant
response. Zoom into your signal using
the horizontal scale knob and search
through your waveform with the position knob. Find your area of interest
quickly and easily.
Single Sweep sets the deepest memory
available, so you capture your entire
waveform with the best resolution
available. Never undersample again.
3 year standard warranty protects
your investment.

Dialog Boxes for Easy Setup
With Infiniium, you don’t need to
navigate through annoying softkey menus. Dialog boxes display
all the choices you need for measurement setups, all in one place.
Help is available for each field,
guiding you through each step.
Drag-and-Drop Measurements
It’s simple: drag an icon from the
measurement bar and drop it on
the cycle you want to measure.
You can make up to four measurements on your waveforms,
on up to four different cycles.
All the measurements appear at
the bottom of the display with
statistics and are color coded to
the channel you are measuring.
Scope measurements have never
been this powerful or this easy.
Simple Zooming
Zooming with Infiniium’s graphical user interface is simple and
convenient. Just use the mouse
to draw a box around the area of
interest and click inside. Zoom
uses the full display so you get
meaningful vertical as well as
horizontal resolution gains. Use
multiple zoom boxes to see deep
inside your signal. Zooming
couldn’t be simpler or faster.
