TRADE NEWS: Agilent Technologies Introduces Industry's First 1-GHz Battery-Powered Digital Storage Oscilloscopes and First Battery-Powered Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- Agilent Technologies This article needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : A) today introduced battery-power options for all 16 of its 6000 Series digital storage oscilloscopes (DSOs) and mixed signal oscilloscopes (MSOs), giving engineers and technicians the ability to make high-performance measurements in environments where line power is unavailable. Agilent is the first to offer battery-powered DSOs with up to 1 GHz bandwidth. Continuing Agilent's 10 years of innovation in MSO (1) (Multiple System Operator) Typically refers to a cable TV organization that owns more than one cable system, but it may refer to an operator of only one system. technology, the 6000 Series MSO models are the first mixed signal oscilloscopes with battery operation. And, the 6000 Series DSOs and MSOs are the first battery-operated oscilloscopes with automotive CAN, LIN, and FlexRay serial bus triggering and protocol decode for remote testing. These oscilloscopes are ideal for engineers and technicians testing electronics in industries such as automotive, industrial and aerospace/defense. "Our customers' products incorporate ever-increasing electronic value," said Jay Alexander, Agilent Design Validation Division general manager. "Being able to rapidly debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. and validate designs is key to their success. We are responding to our customers' requirements for higher-performance battery-powered instruments not previously available in the marketplace." Battery-operated scopes are often required for remote field testing Remote field testing (RFT) is an electromagnetic method of nondestructive testing whose main application is finding defects in steel pipes and tubes. RFT may also referred to as RFEC (remote field eddy current) or RFET ( , such as in-car testing in the automotive industry The automotive industry is the industry involved in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. In 2006, more than 69 million motor vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles were produced worldwide. . Previously, only lower bandwidth portable scopes with very basic scope functionality were battery operated. Testing today's automotive serial buses such as CAN, LIN and FlexRay require scopes with higher performance and functionality. With Agilent's 6000 Series oscilloscopes, engineers now have the portability of a battery-operated oscilloscope oscilloscope (əsĭl`əskōp'), electronic device used to produce visual displays corresponding to electrical signals. Displays of such nonelectrical phenomena as the variations of a sound's intensity can be made if the phenomena are with the performance and measurement features that meet their specific applications. Agilent's integrated rechargeable battery options are based on lithium-ion technology, and they provide more than two hours of battery life between charges. The battery charges while plugged into line power and can be disconnected at any time without powering off the oscilloscope. In addition, Agilent offers an adapter cable to power oscilloscopes from 12-V automotive outlets. The addition of an integrated battery option complements the Agilent 6000 Series' fast update rate, superior signal display qualities, and ability to measure across analog, digital, and serial interfaces.

A photograph of the battery-powered oscilloscope is available at www.agilent.com/find/6000-bat_images. U.S. Pricing and Availability The Agilent 6000 Series models with the rechargeable battery option are available in the following bandwidths with prices starting at: 100 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. $6,200 300 MHz $8,240 500 MHz $10,100 1 GHz $12,850 The N5424A adapter cable to power oscilloscopes from 12-V automotive outlets is priced at $150.
