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.

For more information on IntuiLink, please see the IntuiLink datasheet with Agilent publication number 5980-3115EUS or visit the URL www.agilent.com/find/intuilink

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.
