Agilent's Infiniium 90000 Series
oscilloscope with PC hardware
Agilent has announced the inclusion of faster PC hardware
in the Infiniium 90000 Series oscilloscope family. Agilent
claims, these real-time oscilloscopes are the most responsive
in their class with waveform update rates more than 20 times
faster than comparable scopes.
With the new performance enhancements, the Infiniium 90000
Series scopes yield results in less than 2 seconds. This
performance combined with the 1 Gpts of memory offered in
the Infiniium 90000 Series delivers quick document results
of design performance to a wide range of test conditions.
The high-speed serial data links such as USB, SATA or PCI
Express rely on high-performance oscilloscopes to measure
jitter and other signal parameters. Complex analysis is
often critical.
Oscilloscopes also need processing power to remain responsive
when manipulating complex algorithms such as de-embedding
algorithms. This improved responsiveness for the effects
of channels, probes and fixtures on high-speed signals.
Agilent's InfiniiSim waveform transformation software (N5465A),
which also uses hardware acceleration, takes advantage of
the new performance enhancements to provide high waveform
update rates for measurements that use de-embedding algorithms.
"Delivering best-in-class oscilloscopes clearly takes
an ongoing commitment to investing in key scope technologies,
but it's also key to leverage industry performance enhancements
in PC platform technology," said Jay Alexander, vice
president and general manager of Agilent's oscilloscope
organization. "We're excited about helping engineers
save significant time making measurements as well as giving
them access to measurements they can't perform on other
scopes."
Availability: The new performance enhancements come standard
at no additional cost on all Infiniium 90000 Series Oscilloscopes
ordered after Nov. 15, 2009.
