Said to be the industry′s first event identification software and the industry′s lowest-noise oscilloscope, Agilent Technologies′ 80000B Series also incorporates next-generation MegaZoom technology, pioneered in the company’s previously-announced Infiniium 8000A Series and the 6000A Series scopes.
According to local distributor, Concilium Technologies, each model of the Infiniium 80000B series offers the industry's lowest noise floor at its particular bandwidth, while additional signal integrity advantages include the industry's lowest jitter measurement floor, lowest trigger jitter and flattest frequency response. The unique bandwidth upgradeability of the Infiniium 80000B Series allows engineers to select the appropriate bandwidth needed for their particular application today, and then upgrade oscilloscope performance later for a more advanced project.
"The controlled impedance transmission lines in every probe head minimises mismatch and loading when probing thereby preserving the signal characteristics not possible with more traditional probing accessories," says Andrew Lees, internal sales team leader for Concilium Technologies. "The superior signal fidelity maximises engineer's design margin by not compromising measurement accuracy due to the poor noise, jitter or frequency response of the scope or probing system."
"Agilent not only delivers industry-leading oscilloscope performance, but also uses its extensive technology base to provide superior signal integrity and probing and analysis software for the designer's specific application," says David Churchill, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Design Validation Division. "In addition, Agilent is redefining the investment paradigm for multigigahertz oscilloscopes by offering the industry's only bandwidth-upgradeable series of oscilloscopes."
The Infiniium oscilloscopes have been further enhanced via the addition of a touch-screen, an XGA resolution display, a front-panel USB port, and a higher-performance CPU system for even faster display and measurement execution. The Infiniium 80000B can be used with the Agilent InfiniiMax probing system, which offers a large selection of high-speed probes. Also, the 256 levels of intensity grading with MegaZoom clearly identifies waveform anomalies that were previously invisible with earlier-model oscilloscopes, says the company.
Infiniium application software is available for the 80000B Series. There are 23 application packages vital to engineers designing high-speed serial buses, RF and wireless products, and other ultra-high-speed electronics. The first event identification software allows digital designers who use Infiniium oscilloscopes to quickly and easily identify signal integrity issues found in electronic designs and it works scanning through thousands of acquired waveforms per second and then isolating anomalous signal behaviour.
InfiniiScan identifies signal integrity issues that were previously difficult or impossible to find with traditional hardware triggering or deep memory approaches. With InfiniiScan, digital designers can monitor up to five different events or the same event on four channels simultaneously. The software can also isolate events as narrow as 70 ps, well beyond the 300 ps limitation of hardware-based approaches. There is no need to manually inspect waveforms; InfiniiScan scans waveforms automatically and is able to identify a single waveform anomaly out of 10 000 screens of data without requiring programming.
