Drag and Drop Measurements
Just drag and drop an icon from the
measurement toolbar onto the portion
of the waveform you want to measure
and the measurement appears instantly
on screen.
Easy Zooming
Infiniium's graphical user interface
gives you a new, easier way to zoom.
Use the mouse to draw a box around
the section of the waveform that you
want to expand, then click inside the
box to zoom in on the area of interest.
You can also undo the zoom (up to 10
levels of undo available).
Built-in Information System
Infiniium's built-in information system
puts measurement assistance at your
fingertips in seven different languages
(English, French, German, Japanese,
Korean, Traditional Chinese and
Simplified Chinese). You'll no longer
have to look for the manual when you
need help setting up scope functions
or making complex measurements.
Setup Guides give you step-by-step
instructions for 24 different
measurements and procedures.
In addition, you'll find a thorough index
of help topics and context-sensitive
help available from the dialog boxes.
VoiceControl Option
If you’ve found that you don’t have
enough hands to probe fine pitch ICs
and control the front panel of your
scope at the same, Infiniium now offers
a solution. The VoiceControl option
allows you to speak natural English
language commands through the
supplied collar-mounted microphone,
allowing hands-free operation of the
front panel. VoiceControl is speaker
and gender independent and does not
require the scope to be "trained" to
recognize a particular user. For
complete information, visit our website
at www.agilent.com/find/infiniium or
order the Infiniium VoiceControl
datasheet (5968-6659).
Advanced Triggering
Agilent Infiniium scopes include
powerful Violation Triggering
technology, making it easier for you to
capture and view your toughest signals.
In addition to standard capabilities
such as edge, glitch, logic, state, and
video trigger, Violation Triggering adds
the ability to trigger on rise time, fall
time, setup and hold time, and runt
pulses. Runt pulse trigger is standard
on models 54835A/54845A, and
optional (opt. 015) on models
54810A/54815A/54820A/54825A.
Waveform Math with FFTs and Histograms
Agilent Infiniium scopes provide a wide
variety of math functions, including
Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs) and
histograms. FFTs allow quick
identification of frequency components
within your signals, while histograms
provide a quantifiable way to analyze
signal variations over time. Both help
you better understand noise, jitter, and
other sources of problems within your
design.
Color-grade Persistence
The color-grade persistence display
mode provides a visual representation
of waveform behavior over time,
making it easy to locate and identify
signal anomalies. And you don’t lose
debugging power: all scope capabilities
are available in this mode.
Display Annotation
Add labels to the display to identify
waveforms, annotate setups, or provide
operator instructions. Infiniium’s
keyboard makes this an easy task.
Eye Diagram Measurements
Agilent Infiniium scopes provide eye
diagram measurements to make
general testing of communications
designs and systems even easier.
AutoMask and Mask Test Capability
AutoMask allows you to define a
tolerance limit and automatically create
a test envelope based on the waveform
on screen. Mask testing then provides
a pass/fail comparison of your
incoming signal to the test envelope.
Communication Mask Test Kit Option
Easily test your product’s conformance
to ANSI T1.102 and ITU G.703 standards
with Agilent Infiniium oscilloscopes’
Communication Mask Option. This
option provides a library of industry
standard waveform masks, and eases
the measurement task with pushbutton
alignment of the appropriate mask to
your signal and clear indication of
failure points on the waveform. A set of
“smart” termination adapters works
with the probe interface to assure errorfree measurements.
Internal Hard and Floppy Disk Drives
Saving your results is simple with
Infiniium’s data storage capabilities.
Use the internal 3.2 Gbyte hard drive or
the 120 MB LS-120 SuperDisk floppy
drive to store waveform data, screen
images, or scope setups. It’s easy to
share your information with others, as
well. Waveform data can be stored in
ASCII or Microsoft Excel formats, while
images can be stored as BMP, PCX, TIF,
GIF, EPS, or PS formats. Both allow
easy import into other programs for
documentation or further analysis.
Standard Interfaces
10/100 MBPS LAN, GPIB, RS-232, and
Centronics interfaces are standard
features4. LAN allows you to transfer
files or use network printers with the
same ease as when you do these tasks
on your PC. Infiniium scopes are fully
HP-IB programmable.
