DSOs focus on visibility

18 March 2008

Electronic design and test teams in nearly every electronic industry, including computer, communications, semi-conductor, aerospace/defense, automotive and wireless industries, continue to produce increasingly sophisticated hardware designs. Confidently and consistently viewing subtle signal details and infrequent events enables teams to quickly debug and test their electronic systems.

Agilent Technologies (www.agilent.com) has expanded its mixed signal and digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) portfolio with two new models that comprise its next-generation InfiniiVision 7000 series.

The InfiniiVision 7000 series offers bandwidths up to 1GHz and delivers an unparalleled deep memory waveform update rate of 100,000 waveforms/sec. Each model, equipped with the industry’s largest display (a 12.1inch XGA LCD display) comes in a package that is 7in deep and weighs 14lb. The increased display size helps users who need to display up to 20 channels simultaneously with serial protocol.

InfiniiVision 7000 series oscilloscopes can be customised with a number of software options. Applications include serial decode and trigger (for I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, RS-232, and other UART), rapid core-assisted debug of designs with Xilinx or Altera FPGAs, segmented memory for analysis of laser pulses, radar bursts and serial packets, offline PC viewing and sharing of previously acquired scope data, as well as RF contextual viewing of scope data using Vector Signal Analysis software.
