Built-in Information System
The 86100B has a context-
sensitive on-line manual provid-
ing immediate answers to your
questions about using the instru-
ment. Links on the measure-
ment screen take you directly
to the information you need
including algorithms for all of
the measurements. The on-line
manual includes technical specifica-
tions of the mainframe and plug-in
modules. It also provides useful
information such as the mainframe
serial number, module serial numbers,
firmware revision and date, and hard
disk free space. There is no need for
a large paper manual consuming
your shelf space.
File Sharing and Storage
Use the internal 10 GB hard drive or
3.5 inch, 1.44 MB floppy disk drive to
store instrument setups, waveforms,
or screen images. Images can be
stored in formats easily imported
into various programs for documen-
tation and further analysis. LAN
interface is also available for network
file management and printing. The
mainframe also has an integrated
CD-ROM drive for firmware upgrades.
Powerful Display Modes
Use gray scale and color graded trace
displays to gain insight into device
behavior. Waveform densities are
mapped to color or easy-to-interpret
gray shades. These are infinite
persistence modes where shading
differentiates the number of times
data in any individual screen pixel
has been acquired.
Internal Triggering
Through Clock Recovery
Very high-speed oscilloscopes are
not capable of triggering directly on
the signal under test. Typically an
external timing reference is used to
synchronize the oscilloscope to the
test signal. In cases where a trigger
signal is not available, clock recovery
modules are available to derive a
timing reference directly from the
waveform to be measured. The
Agilent 8349XA series of clock
recovery modules cover the three
most popular transmission media
