If you’re like most engineers, you never know what your next project will
demand from you. You need an oscilloscope that can adapt to a wide variety of
debug and test challenges.
We built in the powerful features you’d expect in any Infiniium scope. Then we
engineered the scope for superior mixed-signal debug and analysis, so it would
be a flexible tool in your arsenal.
There is no better way to experience the superiority of the Infiniium 8000 Series
scopes than to see it. Contact Agilent today to request an evaluation. Or visit:

If you haven’t purchased an Agilent scope lately, why should you consider
one now?
The Infiniium 8000 Series offers bandwidths of 600 MHz and 1 GHz. Equipped with an XGA LCD display, scopes can be ordered as either
a DSO or MSO. With built-in GPIB and low 5U high profile, it's ideal for rackmount applications.

Oscilloscope:
The powerful features of our Infiniium Series oscilloscopes, coupled with good
scope specifications give you excellent signal representation on both DSO and
MSO models.
Logic analyzer:
16 digital channels let you see critical data values and timing relationships on
MSO models.
Wide range of debug and compliance application software
Need accurate answers to your measurement questions?
The Infiniium 8000 Series offers a wide range of application-specific software for
debug, analysis and compliance testing. Which application is right for you? Take
a look at the possibilities on pages 15 to 19.
Sized to fit your environment
Need to stack other instruments on top? Need to rackmount your scope?
The Infiniium 8000 Series retains a traditional form factor with just a 5U high
hight.

Oscilloscope Capabilities
Scope channels ensure superior viewing of signals under test. All models incorporate a powerful,
feature-packed Infiniium oscilloscope with responsive deep memory.
Up to 1 GHz bandwidth and 4 GSa/s high
sample rates guarantee you’ll see a good
representation of the analog
characteristics of signals you’re testing
Mask tests, histograms and a wide variety
of functions provide deep signal analysis.

5
Responsive deep memory
With standard 4 Mpts, and up to 128 Mpts of memory, you can capture long
time periods while retaining fast sample rates. Fast update rates mean your
scope stays responsive with deep memory on, ensuring precise representation of
analog signals.
Advanced triggering
Advanced triggers are essential when you are investigating suspected problems.
Infiniium offers a full range of advanced triggers to help you isolate and capture
the condition you need to characterize.
Drag and drop measurements
It’s simple: drag an icon from the measurement bar and drop it on the cycle you
want to measure. You can make up to five measurements on your waveforms, on
up to five different cycles. All of the measurements appear at the bottom of the
display with statistics and are color-coded to the channel you are measuring.

MSO Capabilities
MSO models add 16 high-speed timing channels
Designing with Altera or Xilinx FPGAs? Use the FPGA dynamic
probe for rapid internal FPGA measurements. Using I²C, SPI,
or CAN? Use the digital channels to acquire and decode these
buses, preserving analog channels for other time-correlated
measurements.
Digital and mixed-signal trigger
Trigger on and display individual signals or buses. With precise time-correlation
between analog and digital signals, confidently trigger across any combination of
analog and digital signals simultaneously.
Industry’s only segmented memory for both analog and digital channels
Capture short bursts without consuming memory during periods when the trigger con-
dition is not met. Agilent is the only vendor that supports segmented memory capture
on both analog and digital channels.
Waveform and Listing Windows
View buses as waveforms or easily follow events in the listing window expandable
to the entire display. A blue tracking marker provides time-correlation between wave-
form and listing displays.
Use the timing channels to evaluate control signal relationships
and data buses up to 16 bits wide. Use symbols to more quickly
interpret waveforms.

Infiniium Features
DSO8064A/MSO8064A, DSO8104A/MSO8104A
Chart mode feature
Chart mode applies trend analysis techniques to see how the digital output
(ADC, counter, address lines, etc.) vary over time. This method is effective to
quickly find anomalies of the digital signals. You can also apply math operators
such as “FFT” to view the frequency domain of the analog values.
Serial, parallel and wideband
signal decode
Whether you are working on serial,
parallel or wideband signals, you can
use the 8000 Series to decode your
waveforms. When you are working on
parallel waveforms, you can even cus-
tomize the bus states to be displayed
on the decode table.
Powerful frequency and modulation analysis
The 8000 Series provides superior frequency domain analysis, RF-signal
demodulation and extensive standard-specific analysis coverage including
WiMAX™, WLAN, 3GPP, RFID and UWB with the optional 89601A Series VSA
software. With digital and wireless applications merging, you can use the 8000
Series one-box solution to validate the time and frequency domains.
Extensive application software suite
The 8000 Series provides wide application coverage for you to quickly and easily
verify your designs. Application packages include jitter, DDR, USB, Ethernet,
FlexRay, CAN, SPI, I2C, and FPGA.

DSO8064A/MSO8064A, DSO8104A/MSO8104A
Dialog boxes for easy setup
With Infiniium, you don’t need to navigate through annoying softkey menus.
Dialog boxes display all the choices you need for measurement setups, all in
one place. Help is available for each field, guiding you through each step.
Bus mode display
Bus mode display on MSOs allows quick and easy read-out of hexadecimal
representation of logic signals. Bus state mode display allows the bus readout
to be updated only upon the edge of the clock source you select. Available only
with Infiniium MSO models.
Simple zooming
Zooming with Infiniium’s graphical user interface is simple and convenient. Just
use the mouse to draw a box around the area of interest and click inside. Zoom
uses the full display so you get meaningful vertical as well as horizontal resolu-
tion gains. Use multiple zoom boxes to see deep inside your signal. Zooming
couldn’t be simpler or faster.
E-mail on trigger
Infiniium can automatically send an e-mail with a screen image of the display
when the scope triggers. You can have your Infiniium send an e-mail to you or
a message to your cell phone then control your scope from any Java™-enabled
Web browser with Infiniium’s Web-enabled feature.

Web-enabled control
For distributed teams, simply set up Infiniium on your LAN, and up to three
users can access it from any Java-enabled Web browser. No special software is
required. You can easily grab screen shots for a report, or troubleshoot designs
from a remote location.

DSO8064A/MSO8064A, DSO8104A/MSO8104A
AutoMask and mask test
Mask testing is simplified with AutoMask. Acquire a waveform, define tolerance
limits, and create a test envelope. Mask testing provides a pass/fail comparison
of an incoming signal to the test envelope. Easily test your design’s confor-
mance to industry standards with the communication mask test kit option.
Advanced triggering
Advanced triggers are essential when you are investigating known problems.
Infiniium offers a full range of advanced triggers to help you isolate and capture
the condition you need to characterize. Advanced trigger setups are simplified
by using intuitive dialog boxes with descriptive graphics.
Color-graded persistence with histograms
By providing seven levels of color grades for a visual representation of wave-
form distribution, color-graded persistence makes it easy to pick out signal
anomalies and see how often they occur. Histograms quantify both noise and
jitter in your target system.

QuickMeasure and statistics
Instantly make five common measurements on your signal, with easy-to-read
statistics, by pressing the QuickMeas+ button on the front of your Infiniium. The
measurements displayed can be easily customized.
Pseudo state
Convert digital timing waveforms into state waveforms, specifying the clock
edge when your data is valid. The MSO filters out all invalid states leaving
exclusively valid states in the waveform display.

DSO8064A/MSO8064A, DSO8104A/MSO8104A
High/low pass filter
This function applies a real-time digital filter to the source waveform that you
choose. This filtering feature enhances your ability to examine important signal
components by filtering out unwanted frequency components.
