1GHz portable deep-memory scopes

Agilent Technologies has introduced 12 portable digital storage and mixed signal oscilloscopes (DSOs/MSOs) with bandwidths of 300, 500 MHz and what is claimed to be the first portable 1 GHz offering.

With a real-time display update rate up to 30 times faster than other models, the 6000 series can show critical events in complex waveforms, reducing design verification and debug time.

The oscilloscopes provide waveform viewing and measurement insight for embedded system designers in the aerospace/defence, automotive, communications and consumer electronics industries.

They feature MegaZoom III that provides real-time, high-resolution XGA waveform viewing with 256 levels of colour-intensity grades and memory depth up to 8 Meg points.

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.

Now users can initially order a 2+16 or 4+16 channel MSO or a traditional DSO and upgrade to an MSO configuration later.

The series comes standard with LAN, GP-IB and USB interfaces as well as an additional front-panel USB port to replace limited capacity floppy drives.

The front-panel USB port lets designers store large memory records, screen images and settings on standard higher-speed, higher-capacity USB memory sticks.
