Safety Notices
CAUTION
A CAUTION notice denotes a haz-
ard. It calls attention to an operat-
ing procedure, practice, or the like
that, if not correctly performed or
adhered to, could result in damage
to the product or loss of important
data. Do not proceed beyond a
CAUTION notice until the indicated
conditions are fully understood and
met.
WARNING
A WARNING notice denotes a
hazard. It calls attention to an
operating procedure, practice, or
the like that, if not correctly per-
formed or adhered to, could result

InfiniiVision 2000 X-Series Oscilloscopes—At a Glance
The Agilent InfiniiVision 2000 X- Series oscilloscopes deliver these features:
• 70 MHz, 100 MHz, and 200 MHz bandwidth models.
• 2- and 4- channel digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) models.
• 2+8- channel and 4+8-channel mixed- signal oscilloscope (MSO) models.

An MSO lets you debug your mixed- signal designs using analog signals
and tightly correlated digital signals simultaneously. The 8 digital
channels have a 1 GSa/s sample rate, with a 50 MHz toggle rate.
•8.5inchWVGAdisplay.
• Interleaved 2 GSa/s or non- interleaved 1 GSa/s sample rate.
• 100 Kpts per channel MegaZoom IV acquisition memory for the fastest
waveform update rates, uncompromised. Upgradeable to 1 Mpts per
channel.
• All knobs are pushable for making quick selections.
• Trigger types: edge, pulse width, pattern, and video.
• Serial decode/trigger options for: CAN/LIN, I2C/SPI, and UART/RS232.
There is a Lister for displaying serial decode packets.
Digital channels and serial decode cannot be on at the same time. The
[Serial] key takes precedence over the [Digital] key. Serial triggers can be
used when digital channels are on.
• Math waveforms: add, subtract, multiply, and FFT.
• Reference waveforms (2) for comparing with other channel or math
waveforms.
• Many built- in measurements.
• Built- in license- enabled waveform generator with: sine, square, ramp,
pulse, DC, noise.
• USB ports make printing, saving and sharing data easy.
• Optional LAN/VGA module for connecting to a network and displaying
the screen on a different monitor.
• Optional GPIB module.
• A Quick Help system is built into the oscilloscope. Press and hold any
key to display Quick Help. Complete instructions for using the quick
help system are given in “Access the Built-In Quick Help" on page 42.

TIP
Abbreviated instructions for pressing a series of keys and softkeys
Instructions for pressing a series of keys are written in an abbreviated manner. Instructions
for pressing [Key1], then pressing Softkey2, then pressing Softkey3 are abbreviated as
follows:
Press [Key1]> Softkey2 > Softkey3.
The keys may be a front panel [Key] or a Softkey. Softkeys are the six keys located directly
below the oscilloscope display.
