one million waveforms per second update rate is 20 times

faster than the competition to display the most signal

detail. The 3000 X-Series provides maximum investment

InfiniiVision 3000 X-Series with MegaZoom IV smart memory technology

Largest display

The best signal visibility starts with the largest display.

The InfiniiVision 3000 X-Series comes with a large 8.5-inch

WVGA display so you can view analog, digital and serial

signals easily on the screen.

Fastest update rate

If you can’t see the problem, it is hard to troubleshoot it.

With Agilent’s MegaZoom IV smart memory technology,

the 3000 X-Series updates waveforms up to 1 million times

per second, which gives you the highest probability of cap-

turing random and infrequent events that you would miss

on an oscilloscope with a lower waveform update rate.

Deeper memory for longer time capture

With up to 4 Mpts of MegaZoom IV deep memory, you can

capture long, non-repeating signals while maintaining a

high sample rate, then quickly zoom in on areas of interest.

The InfiniiVision 3000 X-Series optimizes your deep-

memory oscilloscope measurements by using MegaZoom

IV technology to make the most effective trade-offs in

sample rate, memory depth and waveform update rate

automatically. Although many people think deeper memory

is always better, usually deep memory means making

tradeoffs.

Oscilloscopes with deep memory require additional wave-

form processing time to acquire deep memory waveforms,

which means waveform update rates will be reduced sig-

nificantly. For this reason, most other oscilloscopes have

manual memory-depth selections, and the typical default

memory depth setting is usually relatively shallow (10 to

100 kpts). If you want to use deep memory in these other

oscilloscopes, you must manually turn it on and deal with

the update rate tradeoff.

How does Agilent do that?

The MegaZoom IV smart memory technology combines the

capabilities of an oscilloscope, digital channels, protocol

analyzer, WaveGen built-in function generator and DVM

in a compact form factor. Fourth generation MegaZoom

technology enables the industry’s fastest waveform update

rate with responsive deep memory.

4M deep memory captured a long time span without losing

Upgradable, integrated mixed signal oscilloscope

(MSO)

The 3000 X-Series is the first instrument in its class to

offer an integrated and upgradable digital channels. Digital

content is everywhere in today’s designs and traditional 2

and 4 channel oscilloscopes do not always provide enough

channels for the job at hand.

With an additional 16 integrated digital channels, you

now have up to 20 channels of time-correlated triggering,

acquisition and viewing on the same instrument. Buy a 2

or 4 channel DSO and at anytime, and upgrade it yourself

to an MSO with a license to turn on those integrated

16 digital channels.

Best-in-class oscilloscope

The InfiniiVision 3000 X-Series features up to 4 Mpts of

memory with Agilent’s patented MegaZoom IV technology

that is always enabled and always responsive providing the

industry’s fastest update rate at up to 1 million waveforms

per second, with no compromise if you turn on measure-

ments, digital channels or protocol decodes.

In addition, the 3000 X-Series offers 35 (50 with N2820A

Series high-sensitivity AC/DC current probe) automated

measurements, 10 parametric triggers, serial protocol

triggers, as well as waveform math functions including FFT.

Industry’s first WaveGen built-in 20 MHz

function/arbitrary waveform generator

An industry first, the 3000 X-Series offers an integrated

built-in 20 MHz function/arbitrary waveform generator,

available with modulation support (DSOX3WAVEGEN). The

integrated function generator provides stimulus output of

sine, square, ramp, pulse, DC, Sinc (x), exponential rise/

fall, cardiac, Gaussian Pulse and noise waveforms to your

device under test. The modulation feature supports AM,

FM, and FSK modulations with modulation shapes of sine,

square, and ramp.

With AWG functionality, you can store the waveforms

from analog channels or reference memory to the arbitrary

memory and output from WaveGen. Easily create/edit the

waveform using built-in editor or by using Agilent’s free

Benchlink Waveform Builder Basic:

Hardware-based serial protocol decode and

triggering

• Embedded serial triggering and analysis (I2C, SPI)

• Computer serial triggering and analysis

(RS232/422/485/UART)

• Automotive and industrial serial triggering and analysis

(CAN,LIN)

• FlexRay automotive triggering and analysis

• Audio serial triggering and analysis (I2S)

• Aerospace and defense serial triggering and analysis

(MIL-STD 1553 and ARINC 429)

Agilent’s InfiniiVision Series oscilloscopes are the

industry’s first scopes to use hardware-based serial

protocol decoding. Other vendors scopes use software

post-processing techniques to decode serial packets

frames. With these software techniques, waveform and

decode-update rates tend to be slow (sometimes

seconds per update). That’s especially true when using

deep memory, which is often required to capture multiple

packetized serial bus signals. Faster decoding with

hardware-based technology enhances scope usability,

and more importantly, the probability of capturing

infrequent serial communication errors.

After capturing a long record of serial bus communication

using the InfiniiVision scope’s MegaZoom IV deep

memory, you can easily perform a search operation

based on specific criteria, and then quickly navigate to

bytes/frames of serial data that satisfy that search criteria.

Sometimes it may be necessary to correlate data

from one serial bus to another. Agilent’s InfiniiVision

3000 X-Series oscilloscope can decode and list two

serial buses simultaneously using hardware-based

decoding. as well as display the captured data in a

time interleaved “Lister” display.

Integrated digital voltmeter

An industry first, the 3000 X-Series offers an integrated

3-digit voltmeter (DVM) and 5-digit frequency counter

inside the oscilloscopes (DSOXDVM). The voltmeter

operates through the same probes as the oscilloscope

channels, however, the measurements are de-coupled

from the oscilloscope triggering system so that both the

DVM and triggered oscilloscope measurements can be

made with the same connection. The voltmeter results

are always displayed, keeping these quick characteriza-

tion measurements at your fingertips.

Upgradability:

Project needs change, but traditional oscilloscopes are

fixed – you get what you pay for at the time of purchase.

With the 3000 X-Series, your investment is protected. If

you need more bandwidth (up to 1 GHz), digital channels,

WaveGen, DVM or measurement applications in the future,

you can easily add them all after the fact.

Add at the time of your purchase or upgrade later:

• Bandwidth

• Digital channels (MSO)

• WaveGen built-in 20 MHz function/arbitrary

waveform generator

• Integrated digital voltmeter

• Measurement applications

◦ Serial protocol analysis

◦ Power measurement analysis

◦ HDTV video triggering and analysis

◦ Advanced math analysis

◦ Mask/limit testing

◦ Segmented memory

◦ Educators’ lab kit

Mask/limit testing

Whether performing pass/fail tests to specified standards

in manufacturing or testing for infrequent signal anomalies

in R&D debug, the mask test option can be a valuable

productivity tool. The 3000 X-Series features hardware-

based mask testing and can perform up to 270,000 tests

per second.

Multiple test criteria can be selected including the ability

to run tests for a specific number of acquisitions, time, or

until detection of a failure. Pass/fail masks can be auto-

matically created based on an input reference waveform

along with user-specified tolerance bands, or can be cre-

ated on a PC and then imported via a USB memory stick.

See pages 27 and 28 for more detailed information on

available upgrades.

Mask test evaluated more than 27 million waveforms in just

over two minutes

Limit testing made easy with the “automask” feature

Segmented memory

When capturing low-duty cycle pulses or data bursts, you

can use segmented memory acquisition to optimize acqui-

sition memory. Segmented memory acquisition not only

lets you selectively capture and store important segments

of signals without capturing unimportant signal idle/

deadtime, but it also allows you to run post-capture inter-

segment analysis such as segment play back, waveform

measurements, and waveform overlay. Segmented memory

acquisition is ideal for applications including packetized

serial buses, pulsed laser, radar bursts and high-energy

physics experiments. Up to 1000 segments can be captured

on the 3000 X-Series models with a minimum re-arm time

under 1 µs. Segmented memory works simultaneously with

serial bus decodes as well.
