Agilent Technologies has improved the signal triggering system and added a one giga-point acquisition memory to its high end 12GHz oscilloscope range, such as the Infiniium 90000A series.  

The scope's spec has been significantly improved to meet the needs of embedded system design in particular the debugging of high speed serial data streams. To this end there are also new analysis packages for USB 2.0 and HDMI interface standards. 

For the Infiniium 90000A series Agilent has incorporated a hardware/software integrated triggering system, which the company has dubbed InfiniiScan Plus.

The trigger will allow for 150ps hardware-event identification and 75ps software-event identification. As a result the hardware trigger system can identify glitches faster than 250ps.
It also offers standard analogue high-definition TV triggers to address the emerging HDTV market.
The company has dramatically increased the size of the scope's data acquisition memory which at a giga-points is x500 larger than the firm's previous DSA80000 series.

This means the top spec memory will capture 25milliseconds of time at full 40Gsample/s sampling rate on all four channels simultaneously.

The range of 90000A series scopes available includes 2.5, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 13 GHz models with memory options of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1Gpts.

There are DSO and DSA models which are both capable of more than 150,000 measurements per second and modes supporting over 300,000 triggers per second.

The range of analysis software applications has been added to including DDR, PCI Express, Display Port, HDMI, Serial ATA, Serial Attached SCSI, Ethernet families, USB, wireless USB, jitter analysis, RF signal analysis, eye pattern analysis and protocol decoding analysis.
