Agilent Releases New 1-GHz Oscilloscopes

By DE Editors

Agilent Technologies has added four 1-GHz models to its line of InfiniiVision 3000 X-Series oscilloscopes. According to the company, these new oscilloscopes address the growing need for higher-bandwidth bench scopes with lower costs.
 
With these new models, Agilent announced a new 1-GHz active probe. The N2795A probe is designed to match the performance needs of the 3000 X-Series oscilloscopes, at a price comparable to equivalent-bandwidth passive probes" without the impedance trade-offs of a passive approach.
 
In addition, both the 2000 and 3000 X-Series now offer the option to add a three-digit voltmeter (DVM) and five-digit counter that operate through the same probes as the oscilloscope channels. These measurements are decoupled from the oscilloscope triggering system, allowing engineers to make DVM and triggered oscilloscope measurements with the same connection. DVM results are presented with an always-on seven-segment display.
