InfiniiVision 7000B Series Oscilloscopes—At a Glance
The Agilent InfiniiVision 7000B Series oscilloscopes deliver
powerful features and high performance:
• 100 MHz, 350 MHz, 500 MHz, and 1 GHz bandwidth
models.
•Upto4GSa/ssamplerate.
• 12.1 inch XGA display.
• Powerful triggering including analog HDTV and USB.
Options for CAN, FlexRay, I2C, I2S, LIN, MIL- STD 1553,
SPI, and UART/RS232.
• USB and LAN ports make printing, saving and sharing
data easy.
• 2- channel 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
up to four analog signals and 16 tightly correlated digital
signals simultaneously.

4 InfiniiVision 7000B Series Oscilloscopes User’s Guide
• You can easily upgrade an InfiniiVision 7000B Series
oscilloscope from a DSO to an MSO and/or add features
such as Segmented Memory and Mask Test.
• 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 on
page 49.
Agilent InfiniiVision oscilloscopes feature MegaZoom III
technology:
•Most responsive deep memory.
•High definition color display.
•Largest display in its class (12.1 inches).
•Fastest waveform update rates, uncompromised.

NOTE
Digital Channels
Because all of the oscilloscopes in the Agilent InfiniiVision Series have analog channels,
the analog channel topics in this book apply to all instruments. Whenever a topic discusses
the digital channels, that information applies only to Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope (MSO)
models or DSO models that have been upgraded to an MSO.
NOTE
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.
