Entry level scopes from Agilent

Agilent Technologies Inc. has expanded its mixed-signal and digital-storage oscilloscope portfolio with 26 new models that comprise its next-generation InfiniiVision 2000 and 3000 X-Series.

The key features of these Scopes include:

InfiniiVision 2000 X- Series offers bandwidths from 70 MHz to 200 MHz
Optional 8-channel mixed-signal oscilloscope (MSO) capability and optional integrated function generator.
Agilent InfiniiVision 3000 X-Series offers bandwidths from 100 MHz to 500 MHz and waveform update rates of 1,000,000 waveforms per second. Options include a 16-channel MSO, an integrated function generator, and hardware-accelerated serial protocol decode.

"The new Agilent InfiniiVision X-Series oscilloscopes will revolutionize the field of engineering education," said Adam Fontecchio, Ph.D., co-director of the A. J. Drexel Nanotechnology Institute at Drexel University. "The ability to upgrade hardware capabilities after purchase through software add-ons opens new possibilities for continually updating course content to adapt to the changing needs of global engineering markets and to keep our engineering students on the cutting edge of instrumentation and practical skills."

InfiniiVision X-Series scopes are built using Agilent-designed custom 90-nm CMOS ASIC with 6M gates and embedded memory. Agilent says this MegaZoom IV single-chip architecture enables the industry's fastest waveform update rates and responsive deep memory along with integrated logic analyzer, function generator, and protocol analyzer functionality so engineers and educators have highly advanced scope performance at economical prices.

"Because of our deep technology capabilities, Agilent is uniquely qualified to deploy leading-edge technology to solve customer problems," said Jay Alexander, vice president and general manager of Agilent's oscilloscopes business. "With the InfiniiVision 2000 and 3000 X-Series, we focused on delivering industry-leading signal viewing capabilities, and we added options for an integrated function generator and brought our MSO technology into the economy scope segment for the first time."
