Front Panel Controls

 

1. Power Switch Press once to switch power on; press again to

 

switch power off. See page 33.

 

2. Intensity Control Rotate clockwise to increase analog

 

waveform intensity; counterclockwise to decrease. You can vary

 

the intensity control to bring out signal detail, much like an

 

analog oscilloscope. Digital channel waveform intensity is not

 

adjustable. More details about using the Intensity control to

 

view signal detail are on page 263.

 

3. USB Host Port Connect a USB compliant mass storage device

 

to store or recall oscilloscope setup files or waveforms. You can

 

also use the USB port to update the oscilloscope’s system

 

software or Quick Help language files if updates are available.

 

You do not need to take special precautions before removing the

 

USB mass storage device from the oscilloscope (you do not need

 

to “eject” it). Simply unplug the USB mass storage device from

 

the oscilloscope when the file operation is complete. More

 

information on using the USB port is given in Chapter 7, “Saving

 

and Printing Data,” starting on page 315.

 

Only connect USB devices to the USB host port. Do not attempt to

C A U T I O N

connect a host computer to this port to control the oscilloscope. Use

 

 

the USB device port if you want to connect a host (See the InfiniiVision

 

6000 Series Oscilloscope Programmer’s Quick Start Guide for details).

 

 

 

4. Probe Compensation Terminals Use the signal at these

 

terminals to match each probe’s characteristics to the

 

oscilloscope channel to which it is connected. See page 54.

 

5. Digital Channel Controls These controls switch the digital

 

channels on/off, and can be used to select a digital channel for

 

repositioning on the display. You can press the D15 Thru D0 key

 

to show the Digital Channel Menu above the softkeys. See

 

Chapter 3, “Viewing and Measuring Digital Signals,” starting on

 

page 111.

At the heart of the Agilent 6000 Series is its advanced architecture, which integrates a high-performance analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a sophisticated digital signal processing engine. This combination enables users to capture fast, high-resolution signals with remarkable accuracy, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from automotive to telecommunications.

One of the standout features of the 6000 Series is its bandwidth options, which typically range from 100 MHz to 500 MHz. This flexibility allows users to select an oscilloscope that best fits their specific needs. Coupled with a sampling rate of up to 4 GSa/s, the 6000 Series offers exceptional timing resolution, ensuring that even the most fleeting signals are accurately represented.

The user interface of the 6000 Series is designed for maximum efficiency. The oscilloscopes are equipped with a large, high-resolution display, enabling users to view complex waveforms in detail. Furthermore, the touch screen interface provides a level of interactivity that simplifies navigation through various functions, making it accessible for both seasoned professionals and novices alike.

Additionally, the 6000 Series incorporates advanced triggering capabilities, allowing users to isolate specific events in their signals easily. The wide array of available triggering options includes edge, pulse width, and serial triggering formats, which are vital for analyzing complex digital communications.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Agilent 6000 Series is its built-in measurement and analysis tools. The oscilloscopes come equipped with automated measurements, enabling users to quickly gather important data about their signals without manual calculations. This reduces the time spent on testing and increases overall productivity.

In terms of connectivity, the 6000 Series includes USB and LAN interfaces, providing easy data transfer and integration with other devices. The inclusion of advanced software options further enhances data analysis capabilities, enabling users to perform extensive post-acquisition analysis.

In summary, Agilent Technologies' 6000 Series oscilloscopes represent a blend of cutting-edge features, user-friendly design, and high-performance technologies, making them an invaluable tool for engineers and scientists engaged in electronic measurements and analysis.
