What gives the Infi niiVision 6000 Series the best signal visibility?

1. High resolution

Oscilloscopes are visual tools and high-resolution screens make the
product better.
tant 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. Fastest architecture

See a display more representative of the actual signals under test than
with any other scope. The Infi niiVision 6000 Series shows jitter, infrequent
events, and subtle signal detail that other scopes miss. Turn knobs and the
instrument responds instantly and effortlessly. Need to also view digital
channels? The instrument stays responsive. Decoding serial packets? Of­fering the industry’s only hardware-accelerated serial bus decode, Agilent’s
Infi niiVision series delivers serial debug without compromising analog

measurements.

High resolution displays have become increasingly impor-

Infi niiVision scopes incorporate acquisition memory, waveform processing, and display memory in an
advanced 0.13 µ ASIC. This patented 3rd generation technology, known as MegaZoom III, delivers up to
100,000 waveforms (acquisitions) per second with responsive deep memory always available.

The Infi niiVision 6000 Series scope channels provide faster identifi cation 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. Equipped with the industry’s fastest uncomprimised update rate
at 100,000 waveforms/sec update rate, you’ll capture critical signal detail and see
infrequent events that traditional scopes miss.

MegaZoom III technology. MegaZoom III responsive deep memory captures long,
non-repeating signals and maintains high sample rates, allowing you to quickly zoom
in on areas of interest. Sample rate and memory depth go hand-in-hand. Deep memory
in oscilloscopes sustains a high sample rate over longer time spans.

Capture a mix of analog or digital signals. Compare multiple cycles of digital signals
with slower analog signals –

16 high-speed timing channels with up to 2 GSa/s deep memory. Use the timing

channels to evaluate control signal relationship. Or capture and view data buses up
to 16 bits wide. Trigger on and display individual signals or bus waveforms in hex or
binary.

Mixed signal trigger.
Trigger across any combination of analog and digital signals simultaneously. See pre­cise analog measurements timed with exact digital content, all in one box.

Applications for digital channels.
Designing with Altera or Xilinx FPGAs? Use the FPGA dynamic probe for rapid internal
FPGA measurements. Using I2C, SPI, or RS-232? Use the analog or digital signals from
a 4-channe model to acquire and decode these serial buses.

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 char-

acteristic is update rate.

What is update rate?
Update rate is how many waveforms acquisitions per seconds

you scope can acquire, process, and display. Oscilloscope “dead­time” 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. For traditional scopes, this time is often orders of
magnitude greater than acquisition time on fast time-per-division
settings.

If a glitch occurs during the scope’s dead-time, it won’t be
captured. The key to improving the probability of capturing a
signal anomaly during the scope acquisition time is to minimize
dead-time.

Oscilloscope vendors usually specify what their scope’s “best­case” waveform update rates are. Some scope architectures
suffer from factors that can seriously degrade the “best-case”
update rates spec. Agilent’s 6000 Series architecture delivers the
world’s fastest update rate when using:

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.

Seeing subtle signal detail and infrequent events requires a scope with fast waveform update rates. Don’t take a scope vendor’s
banner waveform update rate specifi cation at face value. Test it yourself. It’s actually pretty easy to characterize a scope’s
update rate. Run a moderately fast signal (e.g. 50 Mhz) into a scope channel. Measure the scope’s average trigger output signal
frequency. This is your scope’s update rate for the specifi ed timebase setting. Test the update rate of the scope under various
setup conditions. Setup conditions that Agilent suggests varying include timebase range, memory depth, and number of chan­nels, including analog, digital, as well as channels assigned for serial decoding.

Agilent Infi niiVision 6000 Series oscilloscopes:

The fastest way to debug your analog, digital and serial designs

High-resolution color display with XGA resolution and 256
levels of intensity reveals subtle details that other scopes

won’t show you.

Built-in USB port makes it easy to save your work and
update your system software quickly.

Intensity knob allows you to see the right level of waveform
detail, just like an analog scope.

Free IntuiLink data capture PC software makes
transferring waveform data or screen image to a PC fast
and easy. Built-in web viewer via LAN allows for remote
measurements and viewing.

Built-in help in eleven languages – Simply press and
hold the front-panel key of interest for a few seconds,
and a help screen pops up to explain its function.

Rear panel inputs/outputs

Trig Out port provides an easy way to synchronize

your scope to other instruments.

14

An XGA video output port allows you to
connect to a large external monitor.

Built-in 10-MHz reference in/out port lets you synchronize
multiple measurement instruments in a system.

Standard USB, LAN and GPIB ports

provide PC and printer connectivity.

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.

Save screen images to a connected USB storage device with
automated file names.

Autoscale lets you quickly display any active signals,
automatically setting the vertical, horizontal and trigger
controls for the best display, while optimizing memory.

Standard serial triggering includes I

2

C, SPI, and USB
(optional CAN/LIN, and RS-232 advanced triggering and
decode).

Standard analog HDTV/EDTV triggering supports triggering
on 1080i, 1080p, 720p, 480p HDTV/EDTV standards.

AutoProbe interface automatically configures the
attenuation ratio of the probe and provides probe power
for Agilent’s active probes (available on 300 MHz to 1 GHz
models only).

Maximum sample rate and resolution is achieved 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.

Dedicated front-panel controls make it easy to
access the most common scope controls, including
vertical and horizontal scaling.
