Touch-screen oscilloscopes

4 February 2015 Test & Measurement

Brand new from Keysight Technologies, the InfiniiVision 3000T X-Series digital storage and mixed signal oscilloscopes feature intuitive graphical triggering capability. This new family delivers capacitive touch screens and zone triggering to the mainstream oscilloscope market.

As digital speeds and device complexity continue to increase, signals under test are getting more complex, and engineers are more challenged to isolate anomalies in their devices. Intuitive graphical triggers, previously unavailable in mainstream oscilloscopes, help engineers debug and characterise their cutting-edge devices faster and more easily. With graphical triggers, engineers can use a finger to draw a box around a signal of interest on the instrument display to create a trigger.

The new oscilloscopes’ upgradable bandwidths from 100 MHz to 1 GHz and an update rate of one million waveforms per second give engineers visibility into subtle signal details. The series comes with six-instruments-in-one integration, including oscilloscope functionality, digital channels (MSO), protocol analysis capability, a digital voltmeter, a WaveGen function/arbitrary waveform generator, and an 8-digit hardware counter/totaliser. Correlated frequency and time domain measurements are delivered via a gated FFT function to address emerging measurement challenges.

The 3000T X-Series was designed specifically for operation with a capacitive touch screen, which allows engineers to select targets naturally and quickly. To further improve productivity, the interface includes an alphanumeric touchpad that replaces tedious knob-based operation.

The oscilloscopes support a wide range of popular and emerging serial bus applications: MIL-STD 1553 and ARINC 429, I²S, CAN/CAN-FD/CAN-Symbolic, LIN, SENT, FlexRay, RS232/422/485/UART and I²C/SPI. They also feature a power analysis, video analysis and hardware-based mask test option.
