Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (2.5 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 a 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 a bandwidth up to 8 GHz. The S-Series frontend 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 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 the screen
• Vertical and horizontal scales on axes
• Add annotations using bookmarks, measurement callouts, and dynamic delta marker readouts
• Right-click to copy an 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 the touch button is turned on/off, optimizes fields for fingers or a mouse
• Traditional menu operation to quickly find settings or advanced features
