Upgradability: 
Project needs change, but traditional oscilloscopes are 
fixed – you get what you pay for at the time of purchase. 
With the 2000 X-Series, your investment is protected. If 
you need more bandwidth (up to 200 MHz), digital chan-
nels, memory, WaveGen, integrated digital voltmeter, or 
measurement applications in the future, you can easily add 
them all after the fact.
Add at the time of your purchase or upgrade later:
•  Bandwidth
•  Digital channels (MSO)
•  Memory
•  WaveGen built-in 20 MHz function generator
•  Integrated digital voltmeter (DVM)
•  Serial protocol analysis
•  Measurement applications
 ◦ Mask testing
 ◦ Segmented memory
 ◦ Educators’ lab kit
Mask testing
Whether performing pass/fail tests to specified standards 
in manufacturing or testing for infrequent signal anomalies 
in R&D debug, the mask test option can be a valuable 
productivity tool. The 2000 X-Series features hardware-
based mask testing and can perform up to 50,000 tests per 
second.
Segmented memory
When capturing low-duty cycle pulses or data bursts, 
you can use segmented memory acquisition to optimize 
acquisition memory. Segmented memory acquisition lets 
you selectively capture and store important segments of 
signals without capturing unimportant signal idle/dead-
time. Segmented memory acquisition is ideal for applica-
tions including packetized serial pulses, pulsed laser, radar 
bursts and high-energy physics experiments. Up to 250 
segments can be captured on the 2000 X-Series models 
with a minimum re-arm time under 19 µs.

30-day trial license
The 2000 X-Series comes with a one-time 30-day all-optional-features trial license. You can 
choose to start the 30-day trial at any time. In addition you can redeem individual optional 
feature 30-day trial licenses at any time by visiting www.agilent.com/find/30daytrial. This 
enables you to receive in effect 60 days of trial license of each optional feature.
