Largest display
The best signal visibility starts with the largest display.
The InfiniiVision 3000 X-Series comes with a large 8.5-inch
WVGA display so you can view analog, digital and serial
signals easily on the screen.
Fastest update rate
If you can’t see the problem, it is hard to troubleshoot it.
With Agilent’s MegaZoom IV smart memory technology,
the 3000 X-Series updates waveforms up to 1 million times
per second, which gives you the highest probability of cap-
turing random and infrequent events that you would miss
on an oscilloscope with a lower waveform update rate.
Deeper memory for longer time capture
With up to 4 Mpts of MegaZoom IV deep memory, you can
capture long, non-repeating signals while maintaining a
high sample rate, then quickly zoom in on areas of interest.
The InfiniiVision 3000 X-Series optimizes your deep-
memory oscilloscope measurements by using MegaZoom
IV technology to make the most effective trade-offs in
sample rate, memory depth and waveform update rate
automatically. Although many people think deeper memory
is always better, usually deep memory means making
tradeoffs.
Oscilloscopes with deep memory require additional wave-
form processing time to acquire deep memory waveforms,
which means waveform update rates will be reduced sig-
nificantly. For this reason, most other oscilloscopes have
manual memory-depth selections, and the typical default
memory depth setting is usually relatively shallow (10 to
100 kpts). If you want to use deep memory in these other
oscilloscopes, you must manually turn it on and deal with
the update rate tradeoff.
How does Agilent do that?
The MegaZoom IV smart memory technology combines the
capabilities of an oscilloscope, digital channels, protocol
analyzer, WaveGen built-in function generator and DVM
in a compact form factor. Fourth generation MegaZoom
technology enables the industry’s fastest waveform update
rate with responsive deep memory.
