Because some things you should only have to learn to do once

Agilent Technologies Infiniium 54800 SeriesOscilloscopes

The idea is to debug your design, notto figure out how to use your scope.

High performance doesn’t have to meandifficult to fathom. Not with an Infiniiumoscilloscope from Agilent Technologies.

Simple Things are SimpleAnalog-like front panel provides simple controls for basic functions.

Here’s what engineers are saying about their Infiniium scopes…

“Everything is where you want it to be.Readouts, knobs—they’re easy to see, easyto use.”

Matt BergerSenior Engineering Technician

National Semiconductor

Easy Access to Advanced FeaturesFamiliar Windows® -based graphicaluser interface makes it easy to accessadvanced features.

Convenient Data SharingA built-in LS-120 SuperDisk floppydrive and LAN interface make it easy to share work and document your results.

“Other scopes are hard to use, hard tomaneuver. With Infiniium, it’s easy to findyour way around when you’re looking foradvanced features.”

Norm ReedRadar Systems Technologist

Canadian Department of National Defense

“We use Infiniium to save large quantities ofscreen shots on our LAN—then we can pullthem up immediately over the network. Itsaves a lot of time and a lot of hassle.”

Stu NufferSenior Systems Engineer

LSI Logic

Hands-Free Operation with VoiceControlProbing multiple signals on fine pitchICs while controlling the scope can bedifficult, if not impossible. UseInfiniium’s VoiceControl (option) tocontrol the scope’s front panel, hands-free. VoiceControl is speakerand gender independent, so it’s not necessary to “train” the scope to understand a particular user.

Infiniium: Instantly FamiliarA familiar Windows-based user interface takes the difficulty out of makingscope measurements—you’ll feel right at home from the moment you turnit on. And you won’t have to spend hours getting re-acquainted with yourscope if you haven’t used it for a while.

Easy ZoomingUse your mouse to draw a box aroundthe section of the waveform you wantto expand, then click inside the box.Zooming couldn’t be simpler!

Web-Enabled ControlRemotely display and control yourInfiniium from any Java™-enabled webbrowser. Troubleshooting across multiple sites couldn’t be easier!

GPIB over LANSend GPIB commands to any Infiniium over the LAN. Access datafrom Infiniium scopes at remote locations worldwide, or from yourhome or office!

Automatic E-Mail on TriggerSet up your Infiniium to send an e-mailwith a bit map of the display screenwhen the scope triggers on an intermit-tent event. You don’t have to be in yourlab to know when it happens, whichsaves you time!

Dialog Boxes for Easy SetupDialog boxes display all the choicesyou need for measurement setups inone place. No more searching throughsoftkey menus.

Drag-and-Drop MeasurementsUse your mouse to make instant measurements on any channel. Simplydrag the icon from the measurement toolbar and drop it on the waveform section you want to measure. The measurement appears instantly on screen.

A simple mouse click takes you from the Windows-based user

interface screen to a maximizedscope screen display.

Here’s the scope everyone’s talking about…

“Infiniium is the most beautiful scope I have everseen… you can get your project done quicker with it. To me, that’s beauty.”

Steve MontgomeryDirector of Engineering, Linx Technologies

Large (8.4 inch) high-resolutioncolor display has a viewing area

that lets you see more information more clearly.

5 GB hard drive allows you to store all of your setups

and results for future recall orsharing via the LAN interface.

Markers can be controlled byarrow keys, or just drag and

drop markers with your mouse.

Display annotation lets you label waveforms and add notes to yourscreen captures—and Infiniium’s keyboard makes it easy to do.

QuickMeas+ key gives you any four automatedmeasurements with a push of a button. You canalso configure this key to print/save screen-shots, save waveforms, or load a favorite setup.

Built-in information systemgives you fast answers to your questions. Infiniium’s task-oriented Setup Guide

provides step-by-step instructions for several

advanced measurements and procedures.

Color-grade persistencemakes it easy to pick out

signal anomalies and see how often they occur.

Print with a single mouse click.

Dedicated knobs provide vertical andposition controls for each channel.

AutoProbe Interface completely configures the scope for use with a wide range of passive, active, and differential probes.

Back-lit LEDs showyou at a glance howthe scope is set up.

120 MB LS-120 SuperDisk floppydrive makes it easy to save your work and still read/write tostandard 3.5 inch floppy disks.System software updates are fastand easy.

10/100 Mbps LAN interface letsyou easily print waveforms on networked printers, save yourresults on your office PC, andshare information with others.Infiniium also has GPIB command capability.

Default setup returns the scopeto a known state—a valuablefeature if you share your scope.

“This scope eliminates the relearning curve.”

The mouse lets you point and clickwith ease, or you can choose adifferent pointing device that bestmeets your needs.

The Advanced Features You Need to Get Your Job Done Faster...

Eye Diagram MeasurementAutomatically characterize eye diagramswith eye height, width, jitter, crossing %,Q-factor, and duty cycle distortion measurements.

Advanced Triggering Infiniium’s advanced triggering lets you capture critical areas of your waveform.Pick from a multitude of triggering modes to isolate what you want to see.Setup for advanced triggers is simplewith all the settings you need grouped ineasy-to-access dialog boxes.

Color-Grade Persistence and HistogramsBy providing a colorful, visual representa-tion of waveform distribution, color-gradepersistence makes it easy to pick out signal anomalies and see how often theyoccur. Histograms quantify both noise andjitter in your target system.

AutoMask and Mask TestDefine a tolerance limit and automaticallycreate a test envelope. Mask testing provides a pass/fail comparison of anincoming signal to the test envelope.Easily test your design’s conformance to ANSI T1.102, ITU-T G.703, and IEEE 802.3 standards with the optional communication mask test kit.
