600 MHz oscilloscopes and support tools

28 October 2009 Test & Measurement

Agilent Technologies has expanded its mixed-signal and digital-storage oscilloscope portfolio with two lower-cost 600 :MHz Infiniium 9000 series models, three new application packages and GPIB compatibility. The 9000 series offers bandwidths from 600 MHz to 4 GHz, and it includes mixed-signal oscilloscope supporting MIPI and SATA industry standards. The new 600 MHz models incorporate advanced viewing and analysis for debugging and testing a wide variety of traditional signals and buses used in embedded designs. In addition, they offer optional logic and protocol analyser capabilities.

In addition to extending its lineup with lower-cost models, Agilent has added new applications that capitalise on higher-bandwidth 9000 series models. Emerging serial bus standards in the wireless mobile industry have created the need for teams to debug and test devices that meet MIPI-DPHY physical-layer standards. The 9000 series offers MIPI-DPHY compliance test and protocol analysis, enabling teams to quickly move from physical-layer to protocol-layer measurements and use the compliance application to automate testing to ensure compliance.

Development teams working on electronic products that include storage may have cost constraints or legacy requirements that make SATA 1 a better choice than other interface technologies. Engineers using these new scopes can see SATA 1 information at the physical and protocol layers.

While LAN and USB IO have reduced the need for traditional programming over GPIB interfaces, many engineers continue to rely on programmatic interaction with oscilloscopes via GPIB. Agilent’s new GPIB-to-LAN adapter enables GPIB applications on a computer to interface transparently to an instrument with a LAN interface as if it were a GPIB instrument.
