The new standard for everyday scopes
Traditional bench scopes are great for charac-terizing things that you know about. Agilent's MegaZoom III deep memory and fast update rates help you find the bugs you don’t know about.

If you haven’t purchased an Agilent oscilloscope lately, why should you consider one now?
Leading-edge technology for all scope users
The InfiniiVision 5000 Series oscilloscopesleveragethesamethird‑generation MegaZoom III technologyblocksusedinourhigher performance bench and lab oscilloscopes–responsive deep memory, fast update rates with minimal “dead time,” analog-like display systems, and integrated serial analysis–anddeliverthemina compact package, at a price similar to oscilloscopes with older technology blocks.

Why does deep memory matter?
See more time
Seeing more time is the most easily understooduseofdeepmemory.Themoresamplesyouacquire,themoretimeyoucanseeataparticularsamplerate.

The relationship between memory depthandacquisitionrateisn’tasobvious.Allscopeshavea“banner”maximumsampleratespecification,butmanycanonlysustaintheseratesat a few timebase settings.
In the case of an oscilloscope with a 5GSa/sacquisitionrateand10-Kptsofmemory(Figure2),those10,000pointscan only fill 2 μs of time. Since scopes have10timedivisions,thesampleratedropsatanytime/divsettingbelow200ns/div.

Why does a fast update rate matter?
Ifthehumaneyehastroublediscerningabove30-50framespersecond, is there really a difference between 3,600 and 100,000 waveforms per second?Ifyouknowwhatyou’relookingfor,theanswerisprobably“no.”However,ifyouarehuntingforunknownsignalanomaliesor characterizing jitter, the answer is“yes.”
