LXI class oscilloscope

Agilent has introduced the LXI class C compliant oscilloscope family optimised for use in test systems.

The 6000L series digital storage devices offer four channels of measurements in a compact, rack-mountable 1U-high form factor, giving engineers a space-efficient way to integrate oscilloscopes into their test systems.

The unit's remote capabilities and graphical web interface, reduce set-up and troubleshooting time for engineers building design-verification and functional-test systems in the aerospace/defence, automotive, communications, medical and computer industries.

The low-profile oscilloscopes are supplied in a 'true 1U' package that packs four channels and up to 1 GHz bandwidth into a slim design, providing more digitiser channels to engineers who have limited rack space.

The series offers 100, 500 MHz and 1 GHz analog bandwidth and up to 4 GS/s sample rate. All models are supplied with 8 Mpts MegaZoom III deep memory.

All units have LAN, GPIB and USB interfaces as well as an additional front-panel USB port that lets engineers store waveform data, scope set-ups and screen images on standard USB memory sticks.

The series is 100% software compatible with the 6000A series of portable oscilloscopes, which offers displays and front-panel control knobs and buttons.

Engineers can use a 6000A series oscilloscope during the R&D phase. When the product moves to manufacturing, they can use a system-optimised 6000L series without a display.

Engineers working with both analog and digital circuitry can upgrade the 6000L series to get the capabilities of a 4+16-channel (scope and logic) mixed signal oscilloscope. Both the MSOs and the traditional four-channel DSO models are optimised with the capabilities engineers need for verifying and debugging designs that include embedded system components.
