Agilent AWG oscilloscope range

Arbitrary waveform generation capability and five new analysis applications have been added to the InfiniiVision 3000 X-series of oscilloscopes.

Agilent is including this software upgrade, which is used with the integrated WaveGen 20 MHZ function generator option, free of charge.

Users can now capture waveforms with their oscilloscopes, instantly convert them to stimulus files and even edit the captured waveforms within the oscilloscope. It is possible to stress a design by adding noise, changing frequency and amplitude and adding glitches.

The 2.0 release adds the following analysis options: DSOX3VID joins the 3000 X-series’ million-waveforms-per-second update rate with the triggers, IRE grids and cursors for the latest HDTV standards; DSOX3AERO (MIL-STD 1553 and ARINC 429) and DSOX3FLEX (FlexRay) protocol analysis packages combine hardware-accelerated protocol triggering and display with search and navigation tools; DSOX3PWR adds a broad portfolio of power system measurements, including single-box power supply rejection ratio tests; and DSOXADVMATH advanced maths functions, including filters, trending and chart display.
