Keysight Technologies’ InfiniiVision oscilloscopes make debut

Keysight Technologies has announced the InfiniiVision 1000 X-series oscilloscopes, which includes 50-100 MHz models that feature unique, Keysight-custom technology, as well as 6-in-1 instrument integration.

The 1000 X-Series uses MegaZoom IV custom ASIC technology, which enables a high 50,000 waveforms per second update rate. The X-Series also has a sampling rate of up to 2 GSa/s and comes standard with two probes. The oscilloscopes use segmented memory capability to maximise memory depth while helping the scope test faster.

The manufacturer says that learning how to use the scope and set up measurements is simple. The industry-standard front panel features built-in help so new users can quickly analyse signals to deliver results while the educator’s resource kit comes standard. The kit includes built-in training signals, a oscilloscope lab guide written for undergraduate students, and an oscilloscope fundamentals slide set for professors and lab assistants.

Six-in-one instrument integration means the 1000 X-Series saves bench space, says Keysight Technologies. In addition to being an oscilloscope, the 1000 X-Series is also a serial protocol analyser, digital voltmeter and frequency counter—and the EDUX1002G and DSOX1102G models include a frequency response analyser and WaveGen function generator. Bode plot fundamentals are said to be easy to teach with the built in WaveGen and frequency response analysis.

The scope features 24 typical oscilloscope measurements to analyse signals and determine signal parameters. Additional signal analysis is provided by the gated FFT function, which allows users to correlate time and frequency domain phenomenon on a single screen. And mask limit testing is also available to help users detect signal errors.

The 1000 X-Series supports decoding and analysis of a range of embedded and automotive serial bus applications, which include I2C, SPI, UART/RS232, CAN and LIN.
