Agilent med nye stærke DSO'er

Ny modeller i Infiniium 9000 serien tilbyder bl.a. indbygget logik- og protokolanalyse (in english).

Agilent Technologies Inc. has expanded its mixed-signal and digital-storage oscilloscope portfolio with six new models that comprise its next-generation Infiniium 9000 Series.

According to Agilent these scopes offer the broadest measurement capability with true analog bandwidths up to 4 GHz, impressive scope performance, and built-in logic and protocol analysis. Each model is equipped with a 15-inch (38.1 cm) XGA LCD display and comes in a highly portable package that is just 22.86 cm deep and weighs only 11.3 kg.

Agilent's 9000 Series oscilloscopes are the world\'s first scopes with integrated logic analysis channels and a protocol analyzer viewer for buses such as PCIeTM and USB. These integrated features extend scope functionality, making it easier for engineers to test complex designs, and giving companies higher oscilloscope utilization for better return on capital equipment.

Design and test teams in nearly every electronic industry, including computer, communications, semiconductor, aerospace/defense, automotive and wireless industries, continue to produce more sophisticated hardware designs. Oscilloscopes are the primary tool to test and debug those designs, and engineers require increasingly broad measurement capability to deliver robust products on schedule.

Agilent's new Infiniium 9000 Series oscilloscopes have the bandwidth to handle faster speeds, and they incorporate both logic and protocol analyzer capabilities to address the newer technologies being widely deployed in today\'s embedded designs.

Benefits of the Agilent Infiniium 9000 Series oscilloscopes include:

- Three instruments in one. In addition to impressive analog specifications, the Infiniium 9000 boasts the world\'s fastest integrated digital channels running at 2 GSa/s. This provides the richest set of MSO (mixed signal oscilloscope) trigger conditions for more accurate analysis of timing relationships between control signals and data buses. The industry's first in-scope protocol viewer for PCIe and USB enables engineers to extend their debug and testing capabilities without finding and hooking up additional test equipment. This capability gives designers faster insight into challenges that involve protocol-rich serial buses.

- Broadest suite of debug and compliance application software. Packed with numerous general-purpose measurements and analysis features, Infiniium 9000 Series oscilloscopes can be customized with a number of unique software options. Supported application packages give engineers meaningful insight into common serial buses, FPGAs and RF measurements, and allow for rapid compliance testing to industry standards.
Twenty-five optional applications are available:

Debug application software includes protocol triggering and viewing for PCIe and USB, serial decode and trigger for I2C, SPI, CAN, RS-232 buses and other UART microcontrollers, rapid core-assisted debug of designs with Xilinx or Altera FPGAs, InfiniiScan for triggering on infrequent signals that meet visual criteria, and many more.
Compliance testing applications include communication mask testing, DDR1, DDR2, DDR3, Ethernet and USB 2.0.

MATLAB data analysis software available as Agilent options - directly from Agilent - on all Infiniium 9000 Series models. These packages enable oscilloscope users to make customized measurements, create and apply their own filters, and analyze and visualize live oscilloscope data. The Infiniium 9000 Series oscilloscopes are the first instruments to include MATLAB software at introduction.

- Agilent has been the fastest-growing scope vendor since 1997, says Scott Sampl, vice president and general manager of Agilent's oscilloscopes business.
- We focus our engineering efforts on delivering the measurement capability our customers need. The Infiniium 9000 Series has the performance and application support today\'s engineers have asked for, along with logic and protocol analysis, in a package that's just impressive.
