If you haven’t purchased an Agilent oscilloscope lately, why should you consider one now?
Leading-edge technology for all scope users
The 5000 Series oscilloscopes leverage the same third generation MegaZoom III technology blocks used in our higher performance bench and lab oscilloscopes
responsive deep memory, fast update rates
With minimal “dead time”, and analog-like display systems – and deliver them in a compact package, at a price similar to oscilloscopes with older technology blocks.
Industry-leading customer support
As the world’s leading Test and Measurement vendor, Agilent maintains the largest network of sales engineers, application engineers, support engineers and technicians. From pre-sales collaboration, to calibration, to training and consulting, to repair and servicing, Agilent stands with you throughout the life of your product. It’s no accident that Agilent has such loyal customers.
Don’t take our word for it
Compare the 5000 series with your current bench scope. Or compare it to one of our competitors’ newest scopes. You’ll see why Agilent has been the fastest-growing oscilloscope supplier since 2001 (source: Prime Data 2005 Test Instrument Industry Service Market Share Analysis).

Why does deep memory matter?
See more time
This is the most easily understood use of deep memory. The more samples that you acquire, the more time that you can see at a particular sample rate.
Long capture times give you better visibility into cause-effect relationships in your design, which greatly simplifies root-cause debugging. It also allows you to capture start-up events (like the start-up sequence below) in a single acquisition.
You don’t have to stitch together multiple acquisitions or set precise triggering conditions. Spend less time finding events, and more time analyzing them.
See more details
The relationship between memory depth and acquisition rate isn’t as obvious. All scopes have a “banner” maximum sample rate specification, but many can only sustain these rates at a few timebase settings.
Mega Zoon III
In the case of an oscilloscope with a 5 GSa/s acquisition rate and 10-Kpts of memory (Figure 2), those 10,000 points can only fill 2 ìs of time. Since scopes have10 time divisions, the sample rate drops at any time/div setting below 200 ns/div.
As a result, if you look at “slow/fast” events like a modulated signal, you run the risk of aliasing your signal. Or you may simply miss out on important signal details when you zoom in on it.
Deep memory oscilloscopes let you sustain a high sample rate over longer periods of time.
Always fast, always on
MegaZoom III is the third generation of the fast and deep memory architecture that Agilent introduced in 1996. It’s not a special mode, unlike other deep-memory oscilloscopes. You have access to your MegaZoom memory at all times. And the display will respond instantly to your commands as you scale the +/div setting or pan and zoom in the Delayed (or “zoom”) window.
Why does a fast update rate matter?
This is a question that we hear frequently. If the human eye has trouble discerning above 30-50 frames per second, is there really a difference between 3,600 and 100,000 waveforms per second? If you know what you’re looking for, the answer is probably “no”. However, if you are hunting for unknown signal anomolies or characterizing jitter, the answer is “yes”.
If you know that there is a glitch in your system, it’s easy to capture it using a pulse-width trigger. However, if you are just browsing through your design, your chances of finding a glitch increase as the update rate at the oscilloscope increases. If a glitch occurs during the "dead time" between samples, you miss it. With MegaZoom III technology, the dead time is much smaller. A scope with a slower update rate will capture the glitch eventually (if it recurs), but most engineers and technicians don’t have the time or patience to wait for their tools tocatch up.
If you are characterizing signal jitter, a fast update rate gives you accurate results sooner. And when the fast update rate is combined with the 5000 Series’ XGA high-definition display (1024 x 768, 256 intensity levels), subtle differences in these acquisitions become obvious.
And like all other aspects of MegaZoom III technology, this is a real-time acquisition mode. It’s always fast, always on.
Our customers tell us that oscilloscope connectivity is an increasingly important feature of their test instruments. That’s why the 5000 Series scopes come with the most comprehensive hardware and software connectivitity tools in their class.
Hardware connectivity
Standard ports include:
• 2 x USB host ports (for external storage and printing devices), one on the front and one on the rear
• 1 x USB device port for high-speed PC connectivity
• 10/100 Mbit LAN for Internet/Intranet connectivity
• GPIB to allow easy migration into existing test systems
• XGA out for external monitors and projectors
View Scope logic analyzer and oscilloscope correlation
View Scope enables simple time-correlated measurements between a 5000 Series oscilloscope and an Agilent 1680/90 or 16800/900 logic analyzer. Scope and logic waveforms are integrated into a single logic analyzer waveform display for easy analysis – all with a simple pointto-point LAN connection. You can also cross-trigger the instruments, automatically de-skew the waveforms, and maintain marker tracking between the instruments.
Other nice features
Offers up to 12 bits of veritcal resolution in real-time, single-shot mode. This is accomplished by serially filtering sequential data points and mapping the filtered results to the display when operating at base time settings greater than 10-ìs/div.
Help is at your fingertips
An embedded help system – available in 11 languages – gives you quick answers if you don’t understand a feature.
Simply press and hold the corresponding front-panel key, and a screen pops up to explain its function
Waveform math with FFT
Analysis functions include subtract, multiply, integrate, and differentiate, as well as Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT).
Peak detect
250 ps on 500 MHz models, 500 ps on 300 MHz models and 1 ns on 100 MHz models helps you find narrow glitches.
AutoProbe interface
Automatically sets probe attenuation factors and provides power for selected Infiniium active probes, including the award-winning 1130A 1.5 GHz InfiniiMax differential active probe and 1156A 1.5 GHz single-ended active probe systems.
5-digit hardware counter
Measures frequency up to the bandwidth of the scope.
Trig Out
Provides an easy way to synchronize your scope to other instruments. Use the Trig Out port to connect your scope to a frequency counter for more accurate frequency measurements or to cross trigger other instruments.
Autoscale
Displays all active signals, and automatically sets the vertical, horizontal and trigger controls.
23 automatic measurements with QuickMeas
Pressing [QuickMeas] brings up the last four measurements selected. Cursors automatically track the most recently selected measurement.
HDTV Trigger
The 5000 Series supports analog HDTV/EDTV triggering for standards like 1080i, 1080p, 720p and 480p as well as standard video triggering on any line within a field, all lines, all fields, odd or even fields for NTSC, SECAM, PAL and PAL-M video signals.
Easy software upgrades
System software is stored in Flash ROM that can be upgraded from the scope’s built-in USB port or LAN.
