Agilent Technologies has won a European-wide bid to supply the German Federal Armed Forces with more than 1500 digital storage oscilloscopes. The Agilent 6000 series oscilloscopes will be used by engineers and technicians to test electronic equipment at maintenance and repair facilities of the German air force, navy and army. Agilent will begin delivering the oscilloscopes this month.

The 6000 series includes 19 different oscilloscope models with frequency ranges from 100 MHz to 1 GHz, with two or four analog channels. The series also includes mixed signal oscilloscopes that combine 16 digital channels together with analog channels. The 6000 series oscilloscopes offer a number of technological innovations such as a high-resolution display and fast signal-processing speed that simplify the task and shorten the time it takes to identify intermittent interference signals. The series also offers deep digital memory, multiple standard I/O interfaces (LAN/USB/GPIB) and progressive serial trigger possibilities for I²C/SPI/CAN/LIN buses. With optional application packages, the oscilloscopes can decode the signals from these specialized buses so as to quickly make FPGA measurements.
