Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (2 GHz / 4 Analog Channels / 16 Digital Channels)

Whether you have to debug your latest design or verify compliance, it is critical that your oscilloscope displays a true representation of your signal. This requires world-class signal integrity. Infiniium S-Series oscilloscopes were designed with this in mind. The S-Series provides superior time base, front-end, and ADC technology blocks. This gives you a platform with up to 16 bits of resolution, low noise, low jitter, and high effective number of bits (ENOB) — giving you visibility into the true performance of your device.

Superior low-noise front end

A high-resolution ADC’s usefulness is dependent on the low-noise front end that supports the additional quantization levels. Each S-Series oscilloscope incorporates the industry’s lowest noise front end for portable oscilloscopes with bandwidth up to 8 GHz. The S-Series front end includes three custom ICs, including a 130 nm BiCMOS IC that incorporates user-selectable analog filters and bandwidth upgrades via a software license.

Superior time base

Time scale accuracy is critical, especially for deep-memory applications. Measurement of jitter is necessary for ensuring high-speed system reliability. Intrinsic jitter associated with an oscilloscope includes the jitter measurement internal to the scope. The lower the value, the better you’ll be able to characterize your device. S-Series scopes achieve precise time accuracy with a next-generation time base architecture. The S-Series has a best-in-industry time scale accuracy of 12 ppb (after calibration) for accurate deep memory measurements, and a low jitter measurement floor with 100 fs (typical) of intrinsic jitter.

Responsive deep memory

S-Series oscilloscopes come with the industry’s most responsive deep memory. With standard 100 Mpts/channel on all four channels simultaneously, and up to 820 Mpts/ch optional, capture long time periods while retaining fast sample rates. Fast update rates mean your oscilloscope will stay responsive with deep memory on to ensure precise representation of analog signals.

Personalized viewing

• Determine how much space to give to results versus waveforms using sliders
• View waveforms on the same graticule or separate them with up to 16 waveform viewing areas
• Plug in a second monitor for even more customization of the interface

Faster and better documentation

• Select from over 50 measurements. View up to 20 measurements at once, with statistics
• Select from over 40 automatic math functions, and display up to 16 at once on screen
• Vertical and horizonal scales on axes
• Add annotations using bookmarks, measurement callouts, and dynamic delta marker readouts
• Right-click to copy image without ever having to save to a file
• Quickly save all waveforms, memories, functions, and setups in a single .osc file for later recall on an oscilloscope or PC
• Save screen images as .jpg, .png, .gif, or .tiff

Best usability, including touch screen

Extensive research testing led to several touchscreen innovations not found in other oscilloscopes.

• Click once to see handles that enable touch manipulation of markers, trigger level, and waveform - tasks that previously required a mouse
• Multi-touch support for multi-touch (gestures) such as zooming and panning
• Auto-sizing when touch button is turned on/off optimizes fields for fingers or a mouse
• Traditional menu operation to quickly find settings or advanced features
