Keysight Infiniium 9000 Series Oscilloscope Evaluation Guide 3
Keysight Infiniium 9000 Series Oscilloscope
Evaluation Guide
Does your job require an oscilloscope that can adapt to a wide variety of debug
and test challenges? Keysight engineers developed the Infiniium 9000 Series
oscilloscopes with the industry’s broadest measurement capability. What gives
the Infiniium 9000 Series the industry’s broadest measurement capability?
1. Best Fit for Workspace
Oscilloscopes are visual tools and large, high-resolution displays make the
product better. Largest in the industry, the 15” XGA screen makes it easier to
view analog, digital, or serial signals, especially when you need to view
multiple signals simultaneously.
Limited bench space? Not a problem. To achieve the thinnest depth, lightest
weight, and smallest footprint in its class, Keysight engineers developed a
single-acquisition board oscilloscope that extends up to 4 GHz bandwidth. A
precision-engineered dense 20-layer printed circuit board, 27 custom ASICs,
and multiple FPGAs, enables the instrument’s innovative form factor.
2. Three Instruments in One
With superior oscilloscope specifications and rich built-in analysis, the
Infiniium 9000 Series extends oscilloscope-centric testing with logic and
protocol analysis capabilities. Mixed-signal oscilloscope (MSO) models add
integrated 2 GSa/s digital channels. Infiniium 9000 Series oscilloscopes
incorporate hardware-based protocol triggering, protocol decode, and the
industry’s first oscilloscope-based protocol viewer that extends to PCI Express
and USB.
3. Widest Range of Debug and Compliance Application
Software
Expand your oscilloscope’s capabilities with our powerful lineup of
applications.
Keysight wants to help you get fast, accurate answers to your measurement
questions. That’s why the Infiniium 9000 Series oscilloscopes offer the largest
range of software applications engineered to quickly and easily provide
exceptional insight into technology-specific testing.

Capturing and Viewing a Simple Signal
1To power the demo board, connect a USB cable between it and the
Keysight Infiniium 9000 Series oscilloscope.
You can also apply power by connecting the oscilloscope’s MSO cable to
the demo board’s 40-pin connector.
2Connect the scope channel 1 probe to demo board CH1 and GND.
3Turn the SELECT switch to position 3 (Burst).
4Press the [Default Setup] key on the front panel.
The oscilloscope is now set in the default configuration. Because the
oscilloscope may have been used in a variety of applications by a variety of
people, it is a good measurement procedure to put the oscilloscope in a
known starting mode (Default Setup). This will make it easy to duplicate
measurements as no special conditions will be set.
