Industry's first portable oscilloscopes with 1 GHz bandwidth

4 May 2005 Test & Measurement

Agilent Technologies offers 12 portable digital storage and mixed signal oscilloscopes (DSOs/MSOs) with bandwidths of 300 MHz, 500 MHz and the industry's first portable 1 GHz offering. The Agilent 6000 Series has realtime display update rates up to 30 times faster than industry standard models, according to the company, and can now show critical events in complex waveforms, dramatically reducing design verification and debug time.

For the most exceptional waveform viewing, these oscilloscopes feature Agilent's patented MegaZoom III display technology. MegaZoom III provides superior realtime, high-resolution XGA waveform viewing with 256 levels of colour-intensity grades, and memory depth up to a full 8 Meg points. The dynamic range in the Z-axis provides the highest waveform display quality of any other portable oscilloscopes claims Agilent.

"The new 6000 Series provides the exceptional memory and waveform display performance of a lab scope in an affordable, portable product configuration," said Ron Nersesian, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Design Validation Division. "Customers will no longer need to switch to larger lab scopes that are optimised for advanced waveform analysis to capture and display critical signals at sustained sampling speeds over longer time spans. This is a major shortcoming of competing products."

As the complexity of embedded systems increases, hardware developers often need to isolate events of interest or view critical relationships on more than the limited number of channels available in traditional oscilloscopes. MSOs provide the integration of scope and logic timing channels for time-aligned viewing and triggering across any or all input channels. Customers can initially order a 2+16 or 4+16 channel MSO or a traditional DSO and then upgrade to an MSO configuration later.

The 6000 Series oscilloscopes come standard with LAN, GP-IB and USB interfaces as well as an additional front-panel USB port. The front USB port lets designers easily store large memory records, screen images and settings on standard higher-speed, higher-capacity USB memory sticks.
