Agilent launches PC-based oscilloscope analysis application

Telecom Lead India: Test and Measurement major Agilent Technologies announced
advanced PC-based oscilloscope analysis software called the N8900A InfiniiView
application.

 

The N8900A InfiniiView application allows engineers to
view and analyze previously captured signals from oscilloscopes made by Agilent
and other vendors.

 

The company said that its InfiniiView alleviates the
bottleneck by allowing engineers to view, analyze, share and document their results
at a different time or place from where tests are performed.

 

InfiniiView incorporates bookmarks and smart markers that
allow engineers to create usable documentation faster.  Because the
application runs on a PC, users can more easily share information with design
partners, vendors and customers using thumb drives, email or Web conferencing.

 

We’ve worked with several customers to define the right
feature set to make InfiniiView valuable to a large number of oscilloscope
users. We’re excited to offer this type of innovative application to complement
our ever-increasing scope hardware capability,” said Jay Alexander, vice
president and general manager of Agilent’s Oscilloscope Products Division.

 

InfiniiView is the first application to migrate full-featured
real-time oscilloscope user interface to PC for rapid navigation and powerful
viewing/analysis.

 

It’s a first application to offer up to 1680 x 1200
display resolution for better waveform viewing with large monitors. (This is
more than 50 percent more display resolution that the industry norm of 1024 x
768 pixels for oscilloscope displays.)

 

The application is the first PC-based application to
support protocol decode for I2C; SPI; RS-232; RS-422; RS-485; UART; JTAG; CAN;
LIN; FlexRay; USB; PCIe gen 1, 2 and 3; MIPI D-Phy; dig RF; 8B/10B; and 64B/66B
Ethernet for faster debugging of designs that include serial buses.

 

Agilent
N8900A InfiniiView oscilloscope analysis application is priced at $750 for the
base software, and Agilent offers a variety of upgrades.

 

Last month, Agilent Technologies launched wideband MIMO PXI vector signal analyzer for offering the
industry’s highest-bandwidth signal analysis.
