See more of your signal, more of the time
Largest display
Engineering for the best signal visibility starts with the
largest display. Our 8.5-inch WVGA display offers 50%
more viewing area with 4 times the resolution (WVGA
800x480 versus WQVGA 400x240) so you can view analog,
digital and serial signals easily on screen.
Fastest update rate
With Agilent-designed MegaZoom IV custom ASIC
technology, the 3000 X-Series updates waveforms up to 1
million times per second.
If an oscilloscope updates waveforms slowly, it can make
using the oscilloscope very frustrating. Fast waveform
update rates can improve oscilloscope display quality to
show subtle waveform details such as noise and jitter
with display intensity modulation. Most importantly, fast
waveform update rates improve the probability of capturing
random and infrequent events that would not be captured
using an oscilloscope with a lower waveform update rate.
Notice that the Agilent 3000 X-Series allows you to see more of your signals, and captures the infrequent glitch and jitter that you
are unable to see on other oscilloscopes in this class.

Deeper memory for longer time capture
With up to 4 Mpts of MegaZoom IV deep memory, you
can capture long, non-repeating signals while maintaining
a high sample rate, then quickly zoom in on areas of
interest.
The InfiniiVision X-Series optimizes your deep memory
oscilloscope measurements by using MegaZoom IV
technology to make the most effective trade-offs in
sample rate, memory depth and waveform update
rate. Although you may think deeper memory is always
better, using deep memory means making tradeoffs for
many other scopes on the market today.
Scopes with deep memory are typically priced higher,
and require additional waveform processing time to
acquire deep memory waveforms. This typically means
waveform update rates will be reduced, sometimes
significantly. For this reason, most other scopes have
manual memory-depth selections, and the typical
default memory depth setting is usually relatively
shallow (10 to 100 kpts). If you want to use deep memory
in these other scopes, you must manually turn it on and
deal with the update rate tradeoff. So you have to know
when it is important to use deep memory and when it
is not.
Agilent’s exclusive MegaZoom IV technology automatically
selects deeper memory when needed in order to
maintain fast sample rates while also updating quickly.
How does Agilent do that?
Agilent-designed MegaZoom IV custom ASIC technology
combines the capabilities of an oscilloscope, logic analyzer,
protocol analyzer, and WaveGen built-in function generator
in a compact form factor at an affordable price. 4th generation MegaZoom technology enables the industry’s fastest
waveform update rate with responsive deep memory
acquisitions.

Best-in-class oscilloscope
The InfiniiVision 3000 X-Series features the deepest
memory in its class with up to 4 Mpts of Agilent’s patented
MegaZoom IV technology that is always enabled and
always responsive providing the industry’s fastest update
rate at up to 1 million waveforms per second, with no
compromise if you turn on measurements or add digital
channels.
In addition, the 3000 X-Series offers 33 automated
measurements, nine parametric triggers, serial protocol
triggers, as well as waveform math functions
including FFT. All of this at a comparable price to the
Tektronix DPO2000 oscilloscope.
Industry’s only upgradable, integrated mixed
signal oscilloscope (MSO)
The 3000 X-Series is the first instrument in its class to
offer an integrated and upgradable logic timing analyzer.
Digital content is everywhere in today’s designs and traditional 2 and 4 channel oscilloscopes do not always provide
enough channels for the job at hand.
With an additional 16 integrated digital timing channels,
you now have up to 20 channels of time-correlated triggering, acquisition and viewing on the same instrument. Buy
a 2 or 4 channel DSO and at anytime, upgrade it yourself
to an MSO with a license to turn on those integrated 16
digital timing channels.
Industry-exclusive WaveGen built-in 20 MHz
function/arbitrary waveform generator
An industry first, the 3000 X-Series offers an integrated
built-in 20 MHz function/arbitrary waveform generator.
The integrated function generator provides stimulus
output of sine, square, ramp, pulse, DC, Sinc (x)
exponential rise/fall, cardiac, Gaussian Pulse and noise
waveforms to your device under test.
With AWG functionality, you can store the waveforms
from analog channels or reference memory to the
arbitrary memory and output from WaveGen. Easily
create/edit the waveform using built-in editor or by using
Agilent’s free Benchlink Waveform Builder Basic:
www.agilent.com/find/33503.
Turn on WaveGen at any time by ordering the
DSOX3WaveGen option and install the license yourself.

Integrated digital voltmeter
An industry first, the 3000 X-Series offers an integrated
3-digit voltmeter (DVM) and 5-digit frequency counter
inside the oscilloscopes. The voltmeter operates through
the same probes as the oscilloscope channels, however,
the measurements are de-coupled from the oscilloscope
triggering system so that both the DVM and triggered
oscilloscope measurements can be made with the same
connection. The voltmeter results are always displayed,
keeping these quick characterization measurements at
your fingertips. Turn on DVM at any time by ordering the
DSOXDVM option.
Hardware-based serial protocol decode and
triggering
• Embedded serial triggering and analysis (I2C, SPI)
• Computer serial triggering and analysis
(RS232/422/485/UART)
• Automotive and industrial serial triggering and analysis
(CAN,LIN)
• FlexRay automotive triggering and analysis
• Audio serial triggering and analysis (I2S)
• Aerospace and Defense serial triggering and analysis
(MIL-STD 1553 and ARNC 429)
Agilent’s InfiniiVision Series oscilloscopes are the
industry’s only scopes to use hardware-based serial
protocol decoding. Other vendors scopes use software
post-processing techniques to decode serial packets⁄
frames. With these software techniques, waveform
and decode-update rates tend to be slow (sometimes
seconds per update). That’s especially true when using
deep memory, which is often required to capture multiple
packetized serial bus signals. Faster decoding with
hardware-based technology enhances scope usability,
and more importantly, the probability of capturing
infrequent serial communication errors.
After capturing a long record of serial bus communication
using the InfiniiVision scope’s MegaZoom IV deep
memory, you can easily perform a search operation
based on specific criteria, and then quickly navigate to
bytes/frames of serial data that satisfy that search criteria.
Sometimes it may be necessary to correlate data
from one serial bus to another. Agilent’s InfiniiVision
3000 X-Series oscilloscope can decode and list two
serial buses simultaneously using hardware-based
decoding. as well as display the captured data in a
time interleaved “Lister” display.

Upgradability:
Project needs change, but traditional oscilloscopes are
fixed – you get what you pay for at the time of purchase.
With the 3000 X-Series, your investment is protected. If
you need more bandwidth (up to 1 GHz), digital channels,
WaveGen, DVM or measurement applications in the future,
you can easily add them all after the fact.
See pages 32 and 33 for more detailed information on
available upgrades.

productivity tool. The 3000 X-Series features the industry’s
only hardware-based mask testing and can perform up to
200,000 tests per second.
Multiple test criteria can be selected including the ability
to run tests for a specific number of acquisitions, time, or
until detection of a failure. Pass/fail masks can be automatically created based on an input reference waveform
along with user-specified tolerance bands, or can be created on a PC and then imported via a USB memory stick.

Segmented memory
When capturing low-duty cycle pulses or data bursts,
you can use segmented memory acquisition to optimize
acquisition memory. Segmented memory acquisition lets
you selectively capture and store important segments of
signals without capturing unimportant signal idle/deadtime. Segmented memory acquisition is ideal for applications including packetized serial buses, pulsed laser, radar
bursts and high-energy physics experiments. Up to 1000
segments can be captured on the 3000 X-Series models
with a minimum re-arm time under 1 µs.
