Serial: Hardware-accelerated
decode and trigger for I
2
C, SPI,
CAN, LIN and FlexRay
Digital: 16 digital timing channels
with mixed signal triggering
Analog: Up to 1 GHz bandwidth
and up to 4 GSa/s sample rate
Your design has analog, digital and serial signals,
shouldn’t your scope?
The 6000 Series scope channels
provide faster identification of the
most elusive problems.
• Revolutionary high-resolution
display. Engineered with a XGA
display and 256 levels of intensity
(color grading), see a precise
representation of the analog
characteristics of the signals
you’re testing. Equipped with the
industry’s fastest update rate at
100,000 waveforms/sec update
rate, you’ll capture and see
infrequent events.
Capture a mix of analog or digital
signals. Compare multiple cycles of
digital signals with slower analog
signals.
• 16 high-speed timing analysis with
up to 2 GSa/s deep memory. Use
the timing channels to evaluate
control signal relationship. Or
capture and view data buses up
to 16 bits wide. Display individual
signals or bus waveforms in hex
or binary.
Capture long streams of serial data
and gain fast insight into the problem.
The Agilent 6000 Series oscilloscopes
provide the best serial capabilities in
its class.
• Serial bus triggering and decoding.
Display responsive, on-screen
decode of serial bus traffic. Isolate
specific events with pinpoint
accuracy. Show decode to validate
serial bus activity in real-time.
• Hijack infrequent errors.
Hardware-accelerated decoding
increases your probability of
capturing elusive events. Agilent
oscilloscopes can help you catch
that intermittent problem before it
becomes an intermittent customer
complaint or quality concern.
• Easily capture enough serial data
to see all of the details. Use deep
memory to capture serial data
stream over a long period of time.
• Mixed signal trigger. Trigger across
any combination of analog and
digital signals simultaneously. See
precise analog measurements timed
with exact digital content, all in
one box.
• Applications for digital channels.
Designing with Altera or Xilinx
FPGAs? Use FPGA dynamic
probe for rapid internal FPGA
measurements. Using I
2
C or SPI?
Use the digital signals from a
4-channel MSO to acquire and
decode these serial buses.
• MegaZoom III technology.
MegaZoom III responsive
deep memory captures long,
non-repeating signals and maintains
high sample rates, allowing you to
quickly zoom in on areas of interest.
Sample rate and memory depth
go hand-in-hand. Deep memory
in oscilloscopes sustains a high
sample rate over longer time spans.
