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.
4
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.

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

Active Probes
(Options 11, 12, 13, 14)
Probing high-frequency signals
becomes more challenging as the
variety of test points and the frequencies of the signals continue
to grow. Probes need to be lightweight, small, affordable, and
offer the accessories and probe
tips you require to get your job
done easily.
The new 1156A, 1157A, and
1158A active probes are small,
low-mass, active probes with
bandwidths up to 4 GHz. Agilent
offers a variety of probe tips to
help you probe any test point,
and the revolutionary EZ-Probe
Positioner option provides stable, accurate X, Y, Z positioning
of your probe.
Options and Accessories
The 1155A probe is a low-mass,
versatile, and affordable 2-channel, 750-MHz active probe. Used
with an optional Wedge Probe
Adapter, this combination is an
excellent solution for probing
TQFP and PQFP packages. When
used with the standard grabber
tips, the 1155A can be used to
probe any test point. When used
with the 600 MHz Infiniium
oscilloscopes, this pairing delivers 2 channels with a system
bandwidth of 500 MHz.

option works with all Infiniium
54830 and 54840 series.
VoiceControl Option
(Option 200 or E2635A)
If you’re making measurements
on target systems with densely
packed ICs, your hands are tied
up holding probes, making it difficult to turn knobs and press
buttons on the front panel of
your scope. Infiniium’s awardwinning VoiceControl option
solves this problem. Just speak
into the collar-mounted microphone to operate your
Infiniium’s front-panel controls
without using your hands.
Simply tell the scope what you
want it to do, using natural
English-language commands,
such as “set channel one to 1.25
volts per division.” The
VoiceControl system does not
require the scope to be
trained to understand a
particular user. This
option works with
Infiniium 54830
and 54840 Series
oscilloscopes.

Trigger Modes
Edge Triggers on a specified slope and voltage level on any channel, auxiliary trigger (4 channel models),
external trigger (2 channel models) or line input.
Glitch Triggers on glitches narrower than the other pulses in your waveform by specifying a width less
than your narrowest pulse and a polarity. Minimum glitch width is 500 ps (54845B/46B) or 1 ns
(54830B/31B/32B). Glitch range settings: <1.5 ns to <160 ms.
Line Triggers on the line voltage powering the oscilloscope.
Pattern Triggers when a specified logical combination of the channels is entered, exited, is present or
absent for a specified period of time or is within a specified time range. Each channel can have a
value of High (H), Low (L) or Don’t care (X).
State Pattern trigger clocked by the rising or falling edge of one channel. Logic type: AND or NAND.
Delay by Time The trigger is qualified by an edge. After a specified time delay between 30 ns to 160 ms a
rising or falling edge on any one selected input will generate the trigger.
Delay by Events The trigger is qualified by an edge. After a specified delay between 1 to 16,000,000 rising or falling
edges on any one selected input will generate the trigger.
TV Trigger on one of the three standard television waveforms: 525 lines/60 Hz (NTSC,
PAL-M), 625 lines/50 Hz (PAL), 875 lines/60 Hz (Zenith HDTV), or define a custom waveform
Violation Triggers
Pulse Width Trigger on a pulse that is wider or narrower than the other pulses in your waveform by specifying a
pulse width and a polarity. Capture pulse widths as narrow as 500 ps (54845B/46B) or 1 ns
(54830B/31B/32B). Pulse width range settings: > or <1.5 ns to > or <160 ms.
Setup/Hold Triggers on setup, hold or setup and hold violations in your circuit. Requires a clock and data signal
on any two input channels as trigger sources. High and low thresholds and setup and/or hold
time must then be specified.
Transition Trigger on pulse rising or falling edges that do not cross two voltage levels in > or < the amount of
time specified. Capture edges as fast as 800 ps
