Oscilloscopes boast touch triggering

23 January 2013 Test & Measurement

Agilent Technologies has premiered the InfiniiVision 4000 X-Series digital-storage and mixed-signal oscilloscopes.

This new series establishes high levels of flexibility and ease of use among units that use an embedded operating system.

The new lineup offers bandwidths from 200 MHz to 1,5 GHz and features which include an update rate of one million waveforms per second with standard segmented memory, which uses patented MegaZoom IV smart memory technology. They have a 12-inch ­capacitive touch screen and the exclusive, all-new InfiniiScan Zone touch-triggering capability.

With the high-speed waveform update rate, operation is always fast, even with digital channels, protocol decoding, math functions or measurements activated. Speed also translates into a high probability of capturing random or intermittent events that often go undetected by scopes with lower update rates.

Because the 4000 X-Series was designed specifically for touch operation, engineers can select targets naturally and quickly. For example, InfiniiScan Zone makes triggering as easy as finding the signal of interest and drawing a box around it; if users can see a signal, they can trigger on it.

To further improve productivity, the interface includes an alphanumeric touchpad that replaces tedious knob-based operation, and touch-based interaction that enables greater flexibility in displaying measurement information.

The high level of integration starts with the capabilities of five instruments on one unit: oscilloscope, digital channels (MSO), protocol analysis, digital voltmeter and dual-channel WaveGen function/arbitrary waveform generator.

The 4000 X-Series also supports a wide range of popular optional applications: MIL-STD 1553 and ARINC 429; I2S; CAN/LIN; FlexRay; RS-232/422/485/UART; I²C/ SPI; and USB 2.0 hi-speed, full-speed and low-speed triggering and analysis.

The product range includes 200 MHz, 350 MHz, 500 MHz, 1 GHz and 1,5 GHz models. The standard configuration for all models includes 4 Mpts of memory and segmented memory.
