Glance

Ease of use with high performance

The Agilent Technologies Infiniium oscilloscopes combine unprecedented ease-of-use with high- performance digitizing oscilloscope functionality to simplify your design and analysis measurement tasks.

•Traditional oscilloscope front-panel interface provides direct access to the controls needed for most troubleshooting tasks

•Graphical user interface with menus, windows, dialogs, and toolbars provides easy access to dozens of configuration and analysis tools, ensuring you can set up and make the most complex measurements

•Agilent 54835A offers 4 channels, 4 GSa/s sampling rate in 2-channel mode, 2 GSa/s sampling rate in 4-channel mode, 1 GHz bandwidth

•Agilent 54845A offers 4 channels, 8 GSa/s sampling rate in 2-channel mode, 4 GSa/s sampling rate in 4-channel mode, 1.5 GHz bandwidth

•Agilent 54846A offers 4 channels, 8 GSa/s sampling rate in 2-channel mode, 4 GSa/s sampling rate in 4-channel mode, 2.25 GHz bandwidth

Display shows waveforms and graphical user interface

•Graphical interface allows direct interaction with waveforms, including drag-and-drop positioning and instant waveform zoom

•Waveforms displayed in color, making correlation easy

•Current configuration parameters displayed near the waveform display and are color- coded to make identification easy

•Graphical interface menus and toolbars simplify complex measurement setups

Horizontal controls set sweep speed and position

•Main sweep speeds from 100 ps/div to 5 s/div

•Delayed sweep speeds from 1 ps/div to main time base setting

•Intensified waveforms on main sweep window make it easy to see what will appear in delayed sweep window

Acquisition and general controls start and stop the scope and do basic setup

•Run and stop controls for continuous or single-shot acquisitions

•Clear display before one or more acquisitions

•Default setup and Autoscale set initial configuration

Hard disk drive and floppy disk drive for saving and restoring setups and measurement results

•Store measurement displays for inclusion in reports and test setup guides

•Store oscilloscope setups to repeat tests another time

•Hard disk stores oscilloscope operating system

Trigger setup controls set mode and basic parameters

•Select Edge, Glitch, or Advanced Modes

•Choose input source and slope

•Set coupling for trigger

•Use graphical user interface to simplify configuration of pattern, state, delay, violation, and video triggers

•Use auxiliary trigger to increase triggering flexibility

Vertical controls set input coupling, impedance, attenuation, and position

•AC or DC input coupling

•1 MΩ or 50Ω input impedance

•Input attenuation adjustable from 2 mV/div to 1 V/div (plus 2 V/div in 1 MΩ)

•Color-coded knobs make it easy to find the controls that affect each waveform

Marker and quick measurements help measure waveform parameters

•Waveform markers A and B to check voltage or ∆−time at any point on the displayed waveform

•Quick Meas executes up to four predefined measurements instantly

Service Policy

The service policy of this instrument requires replacing defective assemblies. Some assemblies can be replaced on an exchange basis. Items such as the vertical attenuators, which are subject to wear and tear based on frequency of use, are a maintenance item that may need occasional replacement.
