Large-screen MSOs go to 4 GHz

Test Measurement World Staff - August 1, 2009

Agilent Technologies’ Infiniium 9000 series of mixed-signal oscilloscopes include six models, all with 15-in. (38.1-cm) displays. At just 9-in. (22.9-cm) deep, the instruments include four analog and 16 logic channels with bandwidths from 1 GHz to 4 GHz. Logic channels sample at up to 2 Gsamples/s. All models sample the analog channels at 10 Gsamples/s on all channels and 20 Gsamples/s when running two channels. Standard memory is 10 Msamples or 20 Msamples, respectively.

Applications for the 9000 series include USB 2.0 compliance tests, Ethernet eye masks, jitter analysis, and DDR memory compliance tests, and Matlab software is available as an option.

Base prices: $19,900 (DSO9104A) to $41,500 (MSO9404A). Agilent Technologies, www.agilent.com/find/9000.
