New oscilloscopes from Agilent

NEW DELHI: Agilent Technologies Inc. today introduced four 100 MHz portable digital storage and mixed-signal oscilloscopes (DSOs/MSOs) with the highest performance capabilities in the industry, the company said in a statement released here.

With a real-time sample rate of 2 GSa/s on each channel and faster display update, the Agilent 6000 Series can show critical events in complex waveforms, dramatically reducing design verification and debug time.

These additions to the 6000 Series also provide 4+16-channel MSO in the 100 MHz segment. These oscilloscopes feature waveform viewing and measurement insight for 8- and 16-bit embedded system designers in the aerospace/defense, automotive, communications and consumer electronics industries.

“Exceptional waveform viewing is achieved with Agilent's MegaZoom III display technology. MegaZoom III provides users with real-time, high-resolution XGA waveform viewing with 256 levels of color-intensity grades and memory depth up to a full 8 Meg points -- 800 times more than competing models,” the statement said.

Agilent's portable 6000 series oscilloscopes provide the performance needed to address these measurement challenges. They are optimized for waveform update rates and display resolution, plus have the ability to add 16 logic-timing channels, significantly reducing debugging time.
