Agilent 6000 Oscilloscopes

Hi:



Anyone used these:

They have mixed signal flavors, and now color displays, plus sample rates competitive with Tek 3000 series scopes, for similar prices.



The mixed signal (16-channel logic input) and deep memory are what make me consider these instruments in relation to the Teks which I usually use.


Any experiences?


Good day!

I guess not then.

Odd. These seem like compelling scopes.

Any takers?

Nope. Used the similarly flavored 54622, which wasn't color. Slick little scope for doing mixed signal work, although I seem to remember that if you needed particularly complex analog or digital triggering you were better off with a dedicated oscope or analyzer.

Looks great, even new the price is not that high. I have an older 54645 mixed signal scope (2A+16D). Unbeatable to do embedded mixed signal development.

I found the scopes from a certain complexity up to have their quirks, some firmware errors or unfortunate approaches. You should get a live demo and perhaps a day or so to try them out. Some of the quirks take a bit longer to appear though
