More modules for multifunction measurement unit
Two new modules join the 19 modules already offered to make up a high-performance family of eight-slot mainframe switches with built-in DMMs.
Analyser options appeal to comms designers
New capabilities extend the analysis power of Agilent's signal and spectrum analysers, enabling them to address even the most difficult application challenges.
The unit's remote capabilities and graphical web interface reduce setup and troubleshooting time for engineers building design-verification and functional-test systems in the aerospace/defence, automotive, communications, medical and computer industries.
Test engineers in these industries are demanding more digitiser channels in less rack space.
The Agilent 6000L Series low-profile oscilloscopes come in a "true 1U" package that packs four channels and up to 1GHz bandwidth into a slim design, providing more digitiser channels to engineers who have limited rack space.

"The introduction of these LXI oscilloscopes demonstrates our commitment to lead the transition to LXI products", said Scott Sampl, Vice President and LXI spokesperson for Agilent's Electronic Measurements Group.
"It's another important step in helping our customers simplify test-system configuration and create new possibilities in testing".
The 6000L Series oscilloscope models offer 100MHz, 500MHz and 1GHz analogue bandwidth and up to 4Gsample/s sample rate.
All three models come standard with 8Msample MegaZoom III deep memory so engineers can capture long, nonrepeating signals, and maintain high sample rates with good timing resolution.
All Agilent 6000L Series oscilloscopes come standard with LAN, GPIB and USB interfaces as well as an additional front-panel USB port that lets engineers easily store waveform data, scope setups and screen images on standard USB memory sticks.
The 6000L Series DSOs are 100% software compatible with Agilent 6000A Series portable oscilloscopes, which offer displays and front-panel control knobs and buttons.
Engineers can use a 6000A Series oscilloscope during the R and D phase.
When the product moves to manufacturing, they can use a system-optimised 6000L Series oscilloscope without a display.
Because the 6000A and 6000L are completely software compatible, the manufacturing team can use the software and test routines developed in R and D.
Engineers working with both analogue and digital circuitry can easily upgrade the 6000L Series DSOs to get the unique capabilities of a 4+16-channel (scope and logic) mixed signal oscilloscope (MSO).
Both the MSOs and the traditional four-channel DSO models are optimised with the capabilities engineers need for verifying and debugging designs that include embedded system components.
An optional secure environment mode provides the highest level of security by ensuring that internal memory is clear of all setup and trace settings in compliance with National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual, Chapter 8 information-system security requirements.
The Agilent 6000L Series oscilloscopes are part of Agilent Open, a versatile combination of test-system hardware, I/O and software tools that are easy to enhance and maintain by ensuring greater choice in measurements, connectivity and programming.
The list price for the Agilent 6000L Series oscilloscopes starts at US $9695.
These system-ready oscilloscopes will be available in January 2007.
