The Infiniium 9000 Series offers bandwidths up to 4 GHz. Each model, equipped with a large 15” XGA LCD display, comes in a whisper-quiet
package that is just 9” (23 cm) deep and weighs only 26 pounds (11.8 kg).
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.
That’s why we designed our new Infiniium 9000 Series oscilloscope to meet a full range
of needs.
First we built in the powerful features you’d expect in any Infiniium scope. Then we
engineered the scope for the broadest measurement capability, so it would be the most
indispensable tool in your arsenal.

It’s three instruments in one
1. Oscilloscope
Responsive deep memory
With standard 20 Mpts/ch, and up to 1 Gpts/
ch 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. The 9000 Series
simplifies trigger setups by using intuitive
dialog boxes with descriptive graphics.
Drag and drop measurements
It’s simple: drag an icon from the measure-
ment bar and drop it on the cycle you want to
measure. You can make up to ten measure-
ments on your waveforms. All of the measure-
ments appear at the bottom of the display with
statistics and are color-coded to the channel
you are measuring.
High-performance scope channels ensure superior viewing of signals under test. All models incorporate a powerful, feature-packed Infi-
niium oscilloscope with responsive deep memory.
Up to 4 GHz bandwidth and 20 GSa/s high sample rates guarantee you’ll see a
precise representation of the analog characteristics of signals you’re testing.
Mask tests, histograms and a wide variety of functions such
as the gated FFTs in the above image provide deep signal
analysis.

It’s three instruments in one
2. Logic analyzer
Digital and mixed-signal trigger
Trigger on and display individual
signals or buses. With precise
time-correlation between analog
and digital signals, confidently trig-
ger 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
condition 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 waveform
and listing displays.
MSO models add 16 high-speed timing channels with standard 128 Mpts digital memory, allowing you to retain fast 2 GSa/s sample rates
over long periods of time.
Use the timing channels to evaluate control signal relationships and data buses
up to 16 bits wide. Use symbols to more quickly interpret waveforms.
Designing with Altera or Xilinx FPGAs? Use the FPGA
dynamic probe for rapid internal FPGA measurements. Using
I²C, SPI, RS-232, or low- or full-speed USB? Use the digital
channels to acquire and decode these buses, preserving
analog channels for other time-correlated measurements.

It’s three instruments in one
3. Protocol analyzer
Does your design include a serial bus that is a key point for testing or debugging? Add protocol analysis capability to your scope for:
• CAN • FlexRay • I2C • JTAG • LIN • MIPI D-Phy
• PCle • RS-232/UART • SATA • SPI • USB • 8B/10B
• digRF
Quickly move between physical and protocol layer information using the time-correlated
tracking marker. Display protocol content using waveform symbols and the industry’s first
multi-tab protocol viewer. The packets tab shows a high level view of the packet over time.
Protocol-level triggering makes it easy to
isolate events with pinpoint accuracy.
Use any combination of analog or digital channels for serial protocol decode, with
up to four buses decoded simultaneously.
Header tab shows packets in a databook for-
mat. Hovering on any tab reveals additional
detail.
