Oscilloscope Experience Redefined:
Experience the Speed
Traditionally, CPU processing was the major bottleneck for
oscilloscope waveform update rate and responsiveness.
Typically, the CPU handles interpolations, logic channel
plotting, serial bus decoding, measurements and more,
and the waveform update rate drops dramatically as these
features are turned on.
The InfiniiVision 4000 X-Series requires minimum support
from a CPU, as most core operations are handled by Agilent
proprietary technology, the MegaZoom IV smart memory
ASIC. MegaZoom includes hardware serial decoders and
hardware mask/limit testing capability, plots analog and
digital data directly to the display, supports GUI operation,
and integrates additional instruments like the dual-channel
WaveGen function/arbitrary waveform generator.
Agilent achieves this industry-leading waveform update rate with MegaZoom IV smart memory technology
Figure 6. The 4000 X-Series oscilloscopes’ uncompromised responsiveness, speed and waveform update rate is enabled by the
MegaZoom IV, smart memory ASIC. The CPU is not used for core waveform operations.
