Improved view

has introduced four 100 MHz portable digital storage and mixed-signal oscilloscopes (DSOs/MSOs) that are said to have the highest performance capabilities in the industry.

With a real-time sample rate of 2 GSa/s on each channel and display update rate up to 40 times faster than competing models, the Agilent 6000 Series can now show critical events in complex waveforms, reducing design verification and debug time.

These additions to the 6000 Series are also said to provide the industry with its first 4+16-channel MSO in the 100 MHz segment. These oscilloscopes feature waveform viewing and measurement insight for 8- and 16-bit embedded system designers in the aerospace/defence, automotive, communications and consumer electronics industries.

Improved waveform viewing is achieved with Agilent’s MegaZoom III display technology. MegaZoom III provides users with real-time, high-resolution XGA waveform viewing with 256 levels of colour-intensity grades and memory depth up to a full 8 Meg points, which is 800 times more than competing models. The dynamic range in the Z-axis provides the highest waveform-display quality of any other portable oscilloscopes on the market today.
