Revolutionary high-definition dis-

play helps you see details

Combine MegaZoom deep memory
with a patented high-definition
display system, and you will see
subtle details that most scopes
won’t show you. The MegaZoom
deep memory is mapped into 32
levels of intensity on a display
that has twice the horizontal
resolution and update rates of up
to 25 million vectors per second –
so you see a more realistic
representation of your signals.
There is less chance to miss a
narrow occasional transient, less
chance to miss a glitch or distort-
ed edge that impacts circuit
operation, and less chance to
miss all those subtle details that
can take weeks to find with a
traditional digital scope.

Standard features

Agilent 54600-Series scopes
include the standard features you
need to get your job done easier
and faster.

Connectivity made easier

•Parallel and RS-232 interfaces
make connection to printers
and PCs a snap. And the
54600-Series scopes come with
standard parallel and RS-232
interfaces on the rear panel.
For faster data transfers, an
optional GPIB interface
module is also available.
•IntuiLink, a free software applica-
tion, simplifies PC connectivity
when you need to transfer
images and waveform data to
your PC. IntuiLink lets you
focus more time on design
issues rather than on program-
ming. With the click of a but-
ton on IntuiLink’s toolbar, you
can download data or insert a
snapshot of an oscilloscope
screen directly into your
Microsoft® Excel spreadsheets
or Word documents, or save
the image as a bitmap file.
Once the data is in an Excel
spreadsheet, you can leverage
Excel’s extensive analysis
functions to create custom
graphs and views.

IntuiLink, please see the

Built-in floppy drive

A built-in 1.44 MB floppy drive
makes it easy for you to store
waveform data, screen images,
and scope setups. You can store
your waveform images as TIF or
BMP files and your waveform
data as ASCII files for easy
import into other PC applica-
tions. If you share your lab equip-
ment with others, you can save
your measurement setups and
traces to diskette, making it sim-
ple to reproduce your every-day
setups as well as your advanced
configurations.

Built-in help at your fingertips

An innovative built-in help
system in 11 different languages
(English, French, German,
Spanish, Italian, Japanese,
Korean, Traditional Chinese,
Simplified Chinese, Russian, and
Portuguese) gives you quick
access to the help you need. If
you have a question about a par-
ticular feature, simply press and
hold the corresponding front-
panel key for a few seconds, and
a help screen pops up to explain
its function. You’ll no longer have
to look for the manual when you
need assistance setting up scope
functions or making complex
measurements.
