The Agilent 54600 scopes

High-definition displays uncover details that you can’t even see on other scopes

NEW

With nearly twice the horizontal resolution of any digital scope on the market, the patented new display technology in the Agilent 54600

Series oscilloscopes opens a new window into circuit behaviour. You’ll see subtle details you couldn’t see before, from narrow transients to distorted edges to intermittent defects, with greater fidelity than you’ve probably ever seen in any digital scope.

By combining this high-definition display with MegaZoom Deep Memory and a signal processing system that’s up to 25 times faster than regular digital scopes, the Agilent 54600

Series of scopes add a unique statistical dimension to your measurements. Each point on the trace is displayed with 32 levels of intensity; the brighter the point, the more samples it represents. This makes it easy to find areas of interest to explore in detail with the pan and zoom features. All of this information is available on a single capture at full speed, with magnifications up to 10,000:1.

The advantage of MegaZoom Deep

Memory

Agilent MegaZoom offers a unique approach to deep memory. It provides signal captures up to 2 million samples on each channel, with higher sustained sample rates and responsive displays. You can find details buried in complex signals, discover anomalies leading up to trigger events and view high- and low-speed signals simultaneously. And unlike traditional deep-memory scopes, MegaZoom is not a special, complicated mode, nor does it slow down the scope. Working in conjunction with the high-definition displays, MegaZoom runs automatically all the time; you'll get the power of deep memory without the drawbacks.

The bright, white dot on the upper display is a distortion in 1 of the 1,500 pulses captured in this single shot measurement. Simply dial in for a closer look using MegaZoom pan and zoom, and you’ll see the details that would have escaped a regular scope, such as the distortion on this square wave.

NEW

View complex circuit operation in ways you’ve never been able to see before, with synchronised scope and timing measurements.

• Designed specifically for debugging mixed analogue/digital and MCU-based systems

• Patented high-definition display works with deep memory to uncover more information about your signals

• Unique 2+16 mixed-signal configuration offers simultaneous scope and logic measurements

The new Agilent 54622D scope solves three of the toughest problems in mixed analogue/digital and MCU-based designs: you can’t see all the signals of interest at once, you can’t find important details, and you can’t see how analogue and digital signals interact. With the 2+16 channel scope/logic configuration, Agilent 2 MB MegaZoom Deep

Memory and a unique high-definition display that highlights areas of interest in your signals, it’s like opening a new window to see inside your circuits.

The exclusive MegaZoom technology enables fast, responsive displays and 2 million samples of memory for every channel. With a single capture, you can collect 10 milliseconds of data and still view 5-nanosecond details using simple pan-and-zoom controls. Plus, powerful cross-domain triggering makes it easier to capture elusive events and conditions.

Built-in triggering for I 2 C buses

If your designs include the Inter-Integrated

Circuit (I 2 C) bus, you'll appreciate the built-in I 2 C triggering in the 54600 Series scopes. They deserialise command words and state conditions for you, taking the work out of setting up triggering.

Finding the details buried in complex signals

Agilent 54600

Series Scopes

It’s a classic troubleshooting problem: you know there’s a problem buried somewhere deep inside a long, complex signal, but your scope can’t find it. If you don’t know what the problem looks like, you probably can’t set a trigger to catch it. And if you slow down the timebase to catch a longer portion of the signal, chances are the glitch will fall in between samples.

That’s just the sort of problem Agilent

MegaZoom and the 54600 high-definition displays were designed to solve. You can capture up to 2 million samples on every channel at full bandwidth, check for intensity indications on the 32-level greyscale display, then zoom in on the highlighted data to find the problem.

Agilent’s 500 MHz scopes

The high-speed answer for low-speed budgets

With single-shot bandwidths as high as

500 MHz, you’ll see those important details on high-speed dynamic signals.

• The industry’s lowest-cost

500 MHz scope

• Single-shot bandwidths as high as 500 MHz and sample rates up to 2 GSa/s

• 1 ns peak detect at all sweep speeds

When you need bandwidth for demanding applications but your budget will not accommodate a high-end research scope, the

500 MHz scopes in the Agilent 54610 Series may be just what you need.

The Agilent 54610B is the lowest-priced

500 MHz scope on the market, but it doesn’t compromise performance or measurement quality. You’ll still get ±0.01% horizontal accuracy and a maximum display update rate of 1.5 million points per second.

The Agilent 54615B boosts the sampling rate to 1 GSa/s while preserving the intuitive analogue feel and instantaneous response of the other 54600 scopes. With horizontal accuracy of ±0.005% and horizontal resolution of 20 ps, you’ll uncover the details that hide from slower scopes.

Speaking of sample rate, many scopes offer good sample rate performance at fast sweep speeds but run into trouble as you slow the sweep down. No matter how slowly you sweep the 54615B, it can still detect glitches as narrow as 1 ns when utilising peak detect.

Catching elusive glitches

Agilent 54600 Scopes (500 MHz)

Signal transients can often be difficult to detect, especially on slower sweep speeds, but peak detect can help capture those elusive glitches.

The shortage of high-speed memory in most digital scopes means they have to reduce sample rates on all but the fastest sweeps. The slower the sampling, the greater the chance that a glitch will hit in between samples. In other words, those impressive sampling specifications don’t mean much in many measurement scenarios.

Digital peak detect in the 500 MHz 54600 scopes solves this problem by recording maximum and minimum levels between samples, catching glitches as narrow as 1 ns—at all sweep speeds. You can sweep as slowly as 5 s/div, knowing that the scope will detect troublesome glitches.

Catching elusive glitches

Agilent 54600 Scopes (500 MHz)

Signal transients can often be difficult to detect, especially on slower sweep speeds, but peak detect can help capture those elusive glitches.

The shortage of high-speed memory in most digital scopes means they have to reduce sample rates on all but the fastest sweeps. The slower the sampling, the greater the chance that a glitch will hit in between samples. In other words, those impressive sampling specifications don’t mean much in many measurement scenarios.

Digital peak detect in the 500 MHz 54600 scopes solves this problem by recording maximum and minimum levels between samples, catching glitches as narrow as 1 ns—at all sweep speeds. You can sweep as slowly as 5 s/div, knowing that the scope will detect troublesome glitches.

Passive probes (A, F, G, H)

The Agilent 10070 Series passive probes create quality connections with Agilent scopes. For high-voltage measurements, the N2771A accommodates up to 30 kV.

Differential probe (C)

Use the Agilent N2772A differential probe with any 54600 Series scope to safely measure floating circuits. With 20 MHz bandwidth and switchable attenuations of

20:1 and 200:1, this versatile probe covers a wide range of applications, including high-voltage circuits.

Current probe (B)

The Agilent 1146A ac/dc current probe accurately measures currents from 100 mA to

100 Arms, from dc to 100 kHz, without needing to make an electrical connection to the circuit.

Wedge probe adapter (E)

Probe fine-pitch devices safely with the Wedge probe adapter, a unique, mechanically

§non-invasive way to connect to 0.5 and

0.65 mm ICs—three, eight or 16 pins at a time.

Printer kit (I)

The Agilent N2727A printer kit provides everything you need for easy documentation directly from your 5462X scope.
