Hardware based serial protocol decode and triggering
- Embedded serial triggering and analysis (I2C, SPI, UART/RS232/422/485))
- Automotive and industrial serial triggering and analysis (CAN, LIN)
Keysight's InfiniiVision Series oscilloscopes are the industry's first scopes to use hardware-based serial protocol decoding. Other vendors' oscilloscopes use software post-processing techniques that slow down both waveform and decode update rate. That's especially true when using deep memory, which is often required to capture multiple packetized serial bus signals. Faster decoding with hardware-based technology enhances scope usability and, more importantly, the probability of capturing infrequent serial communication errors.
After capturing a serial bus communication, you can easily perform a search-and-navigation operation based on specific criteria of your interest. Note, the digital channels and serial protocol analysis cannot be used simultaneously.
Please see the accessories section of this page for several optional software packages.
Integrated digital voltmeter
An industry first, the 2000 X-Series offers an integrated 3-digit voltmeter (DVM) and 5-digit frequency counter inside the oscilloscopes. The voltmeter operates through the same probes as the oscilloscope channels, however, the measurements are de-coupled from the oscilloscope triggering system so that both the DVM and triggered oscilloscope measurements can be made with the same connection. The voltmeter results are always displayed, keeping these quick characterization measurements at your fingertips. The DVM is included standard on all InfiniiVision oscilloscopes.
