Agilent Technologies Inc. today announced that its InfiniiVision 3000 X Series oscilloscopes are highly cost-effective. In addition to allowing their built-in signal generators to support arbitrary waveform generation, they also introduced five new application analysis support. Buy one get one free, in the Agilent high-end series of instruments' plan. The oscilloscope's built-in arbitrary waveform generator is particularly suitable for stimulus-response test applications, allowing engineers to instantly capture waveforms into stimulus files, and then let arbitrary waveform generators play back.

8 months ago, Agilent launched the industry's first oscilloscope with integrated function generator function, which has caused great repercussions in the production and education sectors because it greatly simplifies the incentive-response test application, which some manufacturers use for component testing. The R&D engineers use it to generate the individual signals needed in the circuit. The teaching laboratory uses a single instrument to implement the multi-purpose teaching purpose of integrating oscilloscopes, function generators, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers. What is more exciting for educators is that this is a measuring instrument that can realize distance learning. It not only conforms to the national education policy and development direction, but also provides an unbeatable price/performance ratio.

Today, Agilent will be the first manufacturer in the industry to integrate an arbitrary waveform generator into an oscilloscope. This function was originally implemented in the fourth-generation MegaZoom chip. When it was first introduced, only the function generator function was turned on. Now, in order to satisfy more customer needs, the arbitrary waveform generator function is further turned on. For customers who already have the built-in 20MHz function generator option, they can now upgrade for free and thus have an arbitrary waveform generator function.

With the Arbitrary Waveform Generator, the user can quickly capture the waveform captured by the oscilloscope on the Arbitrary Waveform Generator. Before the waveform is replayed, the waveform can be edited. If you want to customize the waveform, users can also use Agilent's BenchLink. Waveform generation software for customization.

Attentively listening to the voice of customers and enhancing product functionality based on customer needs is the main reason why Agilent's oscilloscopes have continued to grow for the first time in years. The 3000 X series oscilloscopes announced five additional functions on October 18th:

· DSOX3PWR option, the power test option without the help of a computer, integrates the functions required for power supply testing into the oscilloscope to achieve, and with its built-in arbitrary waveform generator, also increases the power supply rejection ratio and other tests. The test project previously required two instruments to complete.

The DSOX3VID option, which leverages the advantages of the 3000 X-series oscilloscopes with one million waveform acquisition rates per second in video applications, enabling them to support video triggering, IRE display, and cursor testing that supports the latest high-definition television standards.

The DSOX3AERO option, which supports the aerospace common communications bus standards, MIL-STD 1553, and ARINC 429, supports triggering and decoding, and is implemented in hardware, so the triggering and decoding speeds are very fast, while also supporting protocols Search and navigation.

The DSOX3FLEX option, which supports FlexRay protocol triggering and decoding in automotive electronics. Like other serial protocol analysis functions, it implements hardware triggering and decoding.

The DSOXADVMATH option, which includes various filters, trend graphs, and graphic displays based on logical channel bus display.

"We recognize that Agilent's high-end oscilloscopes are quickly recognized by customers not only because of its performance leadership," said Jay Alexander, vice president of Agilent Technologies and general manager of the oscilloscope business unit. "More importantly, leading-edge performance and The combination of application analysis tools allows users to quickly get the measurement results they want. Now we have implemented this requirement in mainstream oscilloscope products."
