The Agilent InfiniiVision 4000 X- Series oscilloscopes deliver these features:
• 200 MHz, 350 MHz, 500 MHz, 1 GHz, and 1.5 GHz bandwidth models.
• 2- and 4- channel digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) models.
• 2+16- channel and 4+16- 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 16 digital
channels have a 1.25 GSa/s sample rate, with a 250 MHz toggle rate.
• 12.1 inch SVGA touchscreen display. The touchscreen makes the
oscilloscope easier to use:
•You can "touch" inside alpha- numeric keypad dialogs to enter file,
label, network, and printer names, etc., instead of using softkeys and
the Entry knob.
•You can drag a finger across the screen to draw rectangular boxes
for zooming in on waveforms or setting up Zone triggers.
•You can touch the blue menu icon in the sidebar to display
information or control dialogs. You can drag (undock) these dialogs
out of the sidebar, for example, to view cursor values and
measurements at the same time.
•You can touch other areas of the screen as substitutes for using
front panel keys, softkeys, and knobs.
• Interleaved 4 Mpts or non-interleaved 2 Mpts MegaZoom IV memory
for the fastest waveform update rates, uncompromised.
• All knobs are pushable for making quick selections.
• Trigger types: edge, edge then edge, pulse width, pattern, OR, rise/fall
time, Nth edge burst, runt, setup & hold, video, and zone.
• Serial decode/trigger options for: CAN/LIN, FlexRay, I2C/SPI, I2S,
UART/RS232, MIL- STD- 1553/ARINC 429, and USB. There is a Lister
for displaying serial decode packets.
• Math waveforms: add, subtract, multiply, divide, FFT, d/dt, integrate,
square root, Ax+B, square, absolute value, common logarithm, natural
logarithm, exponential, base 10 exponential, low pass filter, high pass
filter, averaged value, magnify, measurement trend, chart logic bus
timing, and chart logic bus state.

Agilent InfiniiVision 4000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide 5
• Reference waveform locations (4) for comparing with other channel or
math waveforms.
• Many built- in measurements and a measurement statistics display.
• Built- in, license- enabled 2- channel waveform generator with: arbitrary,
sine, square, ramp, pulse, DC, noise, sine cardinal, exponential rise,
exponential fall, cardiac, and Gaussian pulse. Modulated waveforms on
WaveGen1 except for arbitrary, pulse, DC, and noise waveforms.
• USB and LAN ports make printing, saving, and sharing data easy.
• VGA port for displaying the screen on a different monitor.
• 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 60.

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.
