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.

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.

over two minutes

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.
