Software applications
I 2 C/SPI serial trigger and decode (N5423A or Option LSS on new scope purchases)
This application displays real-time time-aligned decode of I 2 C and SPI serial buses. Hardware-
accelerated decode means the scope stays responsive and fast.
This application requires a 4-channel DSO or 4-channel MSO and can use any combination of
the scope or logic acquisition channels.

RS-232/UART serial decode and trigger (N5457A or Option 232 on new scope purchases)
Does your design include RS-232 or another type of UART? This application eliminates the need
to manually decode bus traffic. Using data captured on the scope or logic channels, the appli-
cation lets you easily view the information sent over a RS-232 or other UART serial bus.
Display real-time time-aligned decode of transmit and receive lines. The application also en-
ables triggering on RS-232/UART conditions.
This application requires a 4-channel DSO or 4-channel MSO and can use any combination of
the scope or logic acquisition channels.

Segmented memory (N5454A or Option SGM on new scope purchases)
Segmented memory optimizes available memory for data streams that have long dead times be-
tween activity. The application excels at analyzing signal activity associated with laser pulses,
serial buses, and bursty signals such as radar.
View an overlay of all signal segments, including MSO channels and serial decode, while high-
lighting the current segment. Quickly move between segments to view signal detail associated
with a specific segment.

Mask testing (N5455A or Option LMT)
Agilent’s mask test option (Option LMT or N5455A) for InfiniiVision Series oscilloscopes pro-
vides a fast and easy way to test your signals to specified standards, and uncover unexpected
signal anomalies, such as glitches. Mask testing on other oscilloscopes is based on software-
intensive processing technology, which tends to be slow.
Agilent’s InfiniiVision scopes can perform up to 100,000 real-time waveform pass/fail tests per
second. This provides testing throughput significantly faster than other mask test solutions,
making valid pass/fail statistics available almost instantly.

Mask testing uncovers an infrequent
signal anomaly.
