Touch, Discover, Solve
The InfiniiVision 3000A X-Series redefined oscilloscopes. It saw the most signal detail, provided more
functionality than any other oscilloscope, and gave you maximum investment protection. It was also the
most successful oscilloscope in Hewlett Packard, Agilent and Keysight Technologies, Inc.’s history. The
3000T X-Series continues that legacy.

The 3000T X-Series takes everything that was revolutionary about the A model and adds a capacitive
touch screen, a user interface designed for touch, and the exclusive zone touch trigger, all combined
with an industry-leading uncompromised update rate of 1 million waveform/sec to give you the
confidence that you’re seeing all of your signal detail, and the ability to discover any issues. And the
addition of new analysis capabilities help you solve your hardest problems quickly.

The 3000T X-Series once again redefines what you can expect in a general-purpose oscilloscope by
providing all the performance and capability you need to get to measurement insights faster:

Touch:

• 8.5-inch capacitive touch screen

• Designed for touch interface
Discover:

• Industry’s fastest uncompromised waveform update rate

• Exclusive zone touch trigger
Solve:

• Wide range of serial decodes

• 7-in-1 instrument integration
• Time/frequency domain correlation

Touch: Designed-for-touch operation to simplify use
From the start of product development, we designed every aspect of this oscilloscope to be seamlessly
driven by a touch interface. Large, easy-to-touch targets, a graphical user interface that adapts to show
you more and be easier to touch, and a large, sensitive, capacitive touch screen all combine to make
operation quick and natural, just like your favorite tablet devices.

Figure 2. The industry’s first 8.5” capacitive touch display with large, touchable targets.

Capacitive touch screen technology enables productivity
The user interface allows you to use the alphanumeric pad for quick annotation, place waveforms
or cursors in exact positions and drag docking panels across the screen to see more
measurement information.

The 3000T X-Series offers three ways to access key menus and features: touch GUI for those
that prefer tablet or smart phone touch interfaces, front panel buttons and knobs for the traditional
oscilloscope users, and Keysight Insight pull down menu for users who prefer Windows-like operations.
The 3000T X-Series also offers a “touch off” button as well as USB mouse and keyboard support.

Figure 3. Side bar with movable docks allows information to be placed on the screen precisely where you want it for
documentation.

Touch interface simplifies documentation
The availability of up to 10 annotations on screen makes it easy to highlight key items on screen shots.
Streamline documentation with the ability to input information via a pop-up soft keyboard on the touch
screen or a USB keyboard. A sidebar displays additional information without covering the waveform
graticule and allows you to dock and scroll through multiple measurement values. Touch gestures (like
flicking) make navigating lists or moving between segment waveforms easy.

In addition to the benefits of touch, built-in USB host and USB device ports make PC connectivity easy.
The BV0004B oscilloscope control and PC-based software (standard with the purchase of each
InfiniiVision X-Series oscilloscope) lets you control and visualize the 3000T X-Series and multiple
measurements simultaneously. It lets you build automated test sequences just as easily as you can with
the front panel. Save time with the ability to export measurement data to Excel, Word and MATLAB in
three clicks. Monitor and control your 3000T X-Series with a mobile device from anywhere. Simplify your
testing with BenchVue software.

Discover: Fast update rate and zone triggering uncover hidden signal problems
Industry-leading uncompromised update rate
If you can’t see the problem, you can’t fix the problem. With an industry-leading update rate of over one
million waveforms per second, the InfiniiVision 3000T X-Series gives you the highest probability of
capturing random and infrequent events that you would miss on an oscilloscope with a lower waveform
update rate.

Powered by MegaZoom IV smart memory technology, the InfiniiVision 3000T X-Series not only lets you
see more waveforms, but it has the uncompromised ability to find the most difficult problems in your
design under any conditions. Unlike other oscilloscopes, uncompromised ability means:

• Always-fast, responsive operation

• No slowdown with logic channels on
• No slowdown with protocol decoding on
• No slowdown with math functions on
• No slowdown with measurements on
• No slowdown with vectors on
• No slowdown with sinx/x interpolation on

What is waveform update rate?

As oscilloscopes acquire data, process it, and plot it to the screen, there is inevitable “dead time,” or the
time oscilloscopes miss signals completely. In general, the faster the waveform update rate, the shorter
the dead time. The shorter the dead time, the more likely an oscilloscope is to capture anomalies and
infrequent events. This is why it is important to select an oscilloscope with a fast waveform update rate.
Figures 7 and 8 demonstrate the difference between a slower update rate and a faster update rate.

Figure 9. Other vendor’s oscilloscope with 50,000 waveforms/second. A long dead time decreases your chances of
capturing infrequent events.

Find us at www.keysight.com Page 9

Figure 10. InfiniiVision 30000T X-Series with 1,000,000 waveforms/second. A short dead time increases the
probability of capturing infrequent events.

But all specs aren’t equal.

Many vendors claim an update rate specification, but that is only in a special mode, or without any
features turned on. Table 1 shows the 3000T X-Series’ update rate versus a competing oscilloscope.

While all scopes update rate will vary to some degree by the timebase setting, it is critical that the
update rate remain constant regardless of the functionality you are using within the oscilloscope.

Table 1. Measured update rate between the 3000T X-Series and the Danaher Tektronix MDO3000.
Note how the update rate fluctuates wildly on the MDO3000 based on different settings/features.

Max with ref wfms on 1,113,000 94% 2,200 0.55%

Why is an uncompromised update rate important?

When debugging or troubleshooting a project, it is important that you see as much signal detail as
possible. A fast update rate is just part of the overall equation to determine the likelihood of seeing an
anomaly. The frequency of the anomaly, the timebase setting of the oscilloscope and the amount of
time you allow the oscilloscope to see the anomaly all come in to play:

Pt = 100 x (1-[1-RW](U x t))

where

Pt = Probability of capturing anomaly in “t” seconds

t = Observation time
U = Scope’s measured waveform update rate
R = Anomalous event occurrence rate
W = Display acquisition window = Timebase setting x 10

Find us at www.keysight.com Page 10

Therefore, it is important to select an oscilloscope with the fastest uncompromised update rate to allow
enough time to increase your chances of seeing the glitch. In Table 1, in addition to the measured
update rate, we show the probability of seeing a glitch that happens 5 times a second while allowing the
oscilloscope to acquire for 5 seconds. With the 3000T X-Series you maximize your chances of seeing
the infrequent glitch. With the competing scope, if you are using any of the other features like
measurements, or search or digital channels, the update rate slows considerably. The only option you
have in this case is to allow the oscilloscope to run longer. For example, if you are using digital
channels, you’ll have to let the scope run over 8,000 times longer to get a similar probability to the
uncompromised update rate of the 3000T X-Series. That’s almost 12 hours of time versus 5 seconds!

MegaZoom IV smart memory technology enables uncompromised update rate

Traditionally, CPU processing was the major bottleneck for oscilloscope waveform update rate and
responsiveness. Typically, the CPU handles interpolations, logic channel plotting, serial bus decoding,
measurements and more, and the waveform update rate drops dramatically as these features are
turned on.

The InfiniiVision 3000T X-Series requires minimum support from a CPU, as most core operations are
handled by Keysight proprietary technology, the MegaZoom IV smart memory ASIC. MegaZoom
includes hardware serial decoders and hardware mask limit testing capability, plots analog and digital
data directly to the display, supports GUI operation, and integrates additional instruments like the
WaveGen function/arbitrary waveform generator.

Figure 11. The 3000T X-Series oscilloscopes’ uncompromised responsiveness, speed and waveform update rate
are enabled by the MegaZoom IV, smart memory ASIC. The CPU is not used for core waveform operations.

Excellent signal integrity allows you to see more signal detail
The 3000T X-Series has excellent signal integrity, including full bandwidth to 1 mV/div and the ability to
get up to 12-bits of resolution using the high-resolution acquisition mode.

Some oscilloscopes in this class limit their bandwidth at smaller volt-per-division settings without on-
display user notifications. This is likely to keep the noise acceptable at lower volt-per-division settings.

Table 2 shows a comparison of the typical noise floor at 20 µs/div between the normal and high-
resolution mode. You will notice that the noise floor performance improves as much as five times.

Figure 12. High resolution mode allows you to lower your noise and increase your resolution up to 12-bits.

Zone trigger makes triggering on complex signals simple
An uncompromised update rate allows you to see an anomaly, but to continue the debug process you
have to isolate it. Setting up a trigger has been a challenge since oscilloscopes introduced a triggered
waveform. While oscilloscopes have added more and more triggering capability over the years, setting
up triggers has remained complex at best and impossible at worst.

Zone touch trigger eliminates the complexity of setting up advanced triggers. Now, if you can see the
event on the display of the oscilloscope, you can trigger on it by just drawing a box on the signal you
want to isolate.

See how easy Zone touch triggering can be with these examples.

Steps to isolate a non-monotonic edge: Traditional scopes with advanced triggers

Standard segmented smart memory allows you to capture longer periods of time at higher
sample rates
Acquisition memory size is an essential oscilloscope specification because it determines sustainable
sample rate and the amount of time you can capture in a single acquisition. In general, longer memory
is better. However, no memory will always be long enough to capture all the signals you need,
especially when capturing infrequent anomalies, data bursts, or multiple serial bus packets. Segmented
memory acquisition lets you selectively capture and store important signal activity without capturing
unimportant signal idle time. In addition, it provides a time stamp of each segment relative to the first
trigger event to enable analysis of the frequency of the event. Segmented memory comes standard on
the 3000T X-Series.

Figure 13 shows segmented memory successfully capturing 100 small and large glitch events at
5 GSa/s in 47 seconds. Traditional memory architecture would require almost 203G points of memory to
accomplish the same result! This memory is not available on any scope in the market.

Furthermore, segmented memory discovered that the worst offender glitch happened 40 seconds from
the first trigger event, or at the 95th glitch. It also found out a unique glitch took place 13 seconds after
the first glitch. As shown in figure 13a, you can overlay all segments to have a comprehensive view
as well.

Figure 13. Segmented memory reveals different types of glitches are taking place.

Dedicated search & navigation helps you navigate deep memory

Parametric and serial bus search and navigation comes standard on the 3000T X-Series oscilloscopes.
When you are capturing long, complex waveforms using an oscilloscope’s acquisition memory,
manually scrolling through stored waveform data to find specific events of interest can be slow and
cumbersome. With automatic search and navigation capability, you can easily set up specific search
criteria and then quickly navigate to “found and marked” events. Available search criteria include edges,
pulse width (time-qualified), rise/fall times (time-qualified), runt pulses (time-and level-qualified),
frequency peaks (FFT function, threshold and excursion qualified), and serial bus frames, packets, and
errors.

Close-up on buttons on the front panel of the scope. Alternatively, you also can use the touch
navigation control.

Figure 14. The 3000T X-Series was set up to capture clock signals for FFT analysis. Using the search and
navigation capability, the scope was able to find, mark (white triangles) and quickly navigate to the first 11 frequency
peak occurrences. You can sort it in the order of frequency or amplitude.

Solve: Analyze waveform data quickly with advanced features

Hardware-based serial decode & triggering makes easy work of low-speed serial buses
Keysight InfiniiVision oscilloscopes, including the new 3000T X-Series, use hardware-based serial
protocol decoding. Some other vendors use software post-processing techniques to decode serial
packets⁄ frames, and therefore have slow waveform and decode capture rates and could miss critical
events and errors due to a long dead-time. Faster decoding with hardware-based technology enhances
the probability of capturing infrequent serial communication errors.

After capturing serial bus communication, you can easily perform a search operation based on specific
criteria and then quickly navigate to bytes/frames of serial data that satisfy that search criteria. The
3000T X-Series can decode two serial buses simultaneously using hardware-based decoding and
display the captured data in a time interleaved “lister” display.

Serial protocol decoding can be used simultaneously with segmented memory and Zone touch
triggering. The 3000T X-Series has the most decode/trigger capabilities in this class of instrument
including I²C, SPI, RS232/422/485/UART, CAN, CAN FD, LIN, SENT, CXPI, FlexRay, MIL-STD 1553,
ARINC 429, USB PD, and I²S.

Optional and standard supported serial bus protocols
The 3000T X-Series supports a range of different serial decode and trigger options including:

• I2C
• SPI (2/3/4 wire)
• RS232/422/485/UART
• CAN (symbolic with .dbc file)
• CAN FD (symbolic with .dbc file)
• LIN (symbolic with .ldf file)

Segmented memory combined with protocol analysis enables insights over long periods of time
Segmented memory works in conjunction with any of the optional serial protocol decodes. For example,
by setting the trigger condition to “SENT serial bus error,” segmented memory captures and stores only
SENT pulse period error packets and stitches together each segment for easy viewing of the decoded
data in the lister. You can quickly compare time tags to discover time intervals between errors.

Figure 20. Segmented memory being used in conjunction with SENT bus serial decode resulting in maximum insight
to the serial bus.

Dedicated frequency/spectrum analysis allows you to time-correlate analog, digital, and
frequency-domain waveforms in a single instrument
Viewing the frequency content of waveforms is greatly simplified by a dedicated FFT button and level
adjustment knobs. Pop up keypads make inputting start, stop, span and center frequency easy. And the
new problem-solving feature called “gated FFT”, unique in this class of instrument, lets you time correlate
the analog, digital, and frequency domain to aid in analysis and debug. In addition, there are new
capabilities for peak searching, max and min hold and averaging of FFTs to increase dynamic range.

When gated FFT is on, the oscilloscope goes into zoom mode. The FFT analysis shown in the zoomed
(bottom) window is taken from the period of time indicated by the zoom box in the main (top) window. In
the gated FFT mode, touch and flick the zoom box through the acquisition to investigate how the FFT
analysis changes over time, correlating the RF phenomenon with the analog and digital phenomenon.

Figure 21a through 21d show a simple gated FFT example observing a RF signal frequency transition
from 400 MHz to 200 MHz, time correlated to both the SPI controlling signal (digital) and a VCO enable
signal (analog). Note, you can also visualize the RF signal itself in the time domain to gain additional
insight such as a gap in the RF time domain waveform.

Advanced waveform math functions
Advanced math analysis provides a variety of additional math functions and comes standard on the
3000T X-Series. Additionally, math functions can be nested to provide additional insight into your
designs. You can create up to two math functions, with one math function and FFT displayed at a time.

The 3000T X-Series supports up to two math functions with an assortment of

operators, transforms, filters, and visualizations:

7-in-1 instrument integration provides synergistic measurements
In addition to the class leading oscilloscope and powerful serial protocol analysis capabilities,
the InfiniiVision 3000T X-Series offers five additional integrated instrument capabilities not always found
in this class of oscilloscope.

Integrated mixed signal oscilloscope (MSO – optional)

The 3000T X-Series offers 16 optional, integrated and upgradable digital channels. Digital content is
everywhere in today’s designs and traditional 2 and 4 channel oscilloscopes do not always provide
enough channels for the job at hand.

With an additional 16 integrated digital channels, you now have up to 20 channels of time-correlated
acquisition and viewing on the same instrument. In addition to offering powerful triggering across the
analog and digital channels, this also gives you additional channels to use for serial decode and
triggering. And if you buy a 2 or 4 channel DSO, you can upgrade it at any time to an MSO with a
software license and 16-channel logic probe.

Figure 22. Optional digital channels allow a timing view of up to 16 channels. Tightly integrated, they work with the
analog triggers and serial triggers/decoding.

Find us at www.keysight.com Page 25

Frequency response analysis (Bode plots, optional)
Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) is an often-critical measurement used to characterize the
frequency response (gain and phase versus frequency) of a variety of today’s electronic designs,
including passive filters, amplifier circuits, and negative feedback networks of switch mode power
supplies (loop response). InfiniiVision 3000T X-Series oscilloscopes use the oscilloscope’s built-in
waveform generator (WaveGen) to stimulate the circuit under test at various frequency settings and
capture the input and output signals using two oscilloscope channels. At each test frequency, the
oscilloscope measures, computes, and plots gain (20LogVout/Vin) and phase logarithmically.

Figure 23. Frequency response analysis plot (Bode gain & phase) of a bandpass filter.

DSOXBODE Bode plot training kit (optional)

The DSOXBODE Bode plot training kit consists of a series R-L-C circuit
board with a BNC input that attaches directly to the output of the
oscilloscope’s WaveGen function generator. There are clearly labeled
test points for probing VIN and BPFOUT (bandpass filter output) or
LPFOUT (low-pass filter output). Also included with this training kit is a
comprehensive tutorial and lab guide that engineering students and
professors can download. The DSOXBODE Bode plot training kit is
compatible with all InfiniiVision 3000T X-Series oscilloscopes licensed
with any software option.

Integrated WaveGen: Built-in 20 MHz function/arbitrary waveform generator (optional)
The 3000T X-Series offers an integrated 20 MHz function/arbitrary waveform generator, available with
modulation support (DSOX3WAVEGEN). The function generator provides stimulus output of sine,
square, ramp, pulse, DC, Sinc (x), exponential rise/fall, cardiac, Gaussian Pulse and noise waveforms to
your device under test. The modulation feature supports AM, FM, and FSK modulations with modulation
shapes of sine, square, and ramp. The generator can output a continuous or a single-shot waveform.
With AWG functionality, you can store waveforms from analog channels or reference memory to the
arbitrary memory and output from WaveGen. Then easily create or edit the waveform using the built-in
editor via touch and the large screen or by using Keysight’s BenchLink Waveform Builder software:

waveform generator makes capturing, modifying and replaying signals simple.

Integrated DVM: Standard 3-digit digital voltmeter
An integrated 3-digit voltmeter is included standard on your 3000T X-Series oscilloscope. The voltmeter
operates through the same probes as the oscilloscope channels. However, the DVM measurements are
made independently from the oscilloscope acquisition and triggering system so you can make both the
DVM and triggered oscilloscope waveform captures with the same connection. The voltmeter results are
always displayed, keeping these quick characterization measurements at your fingertips.

Figure 25. DVM and counter takes advantage of separate signal paths to provide measurements without a trigger,
while still using the scope probes.

Integrated frequency measurements: Standard 8-digit counter and totalizer
Traditional oscilloscope counter measurements offer only five or six digits of resolution, which may not
be enough for the most critical frequency measurements are being made.

With the 3000T X-Series’ standard 8-digit counter, you can see your measurements with the precision
you would normally expect only from a standalone counter. Because the integrated counter measures
frequencies up to a wide bandwidth of 1.0 GHz, you can use it for many high-frequency applications
as well.

The counter’s totalizer feature adds another valuable capability to the oscilloscope. It can count the
number of events (totalize), and it also can monitor the number of trigger-condition-qualified events. The
trigger-qualified events totalizer does not require an actual trigger to occur. It only requires a trigger-
satisfying event to take place. In other words, the totalizer can monitor events faster than the trigger rate
of a scope, as fast as 25 million events per second (a function of the oscilloscope’s holdoff time, which
has the minimum of 40 ns). Figures 28 shows example of a totalizer counting the number of CAN-FD
CRC delimiter bit error packets that took place in a design.

Figure 26. Totalizer counts the number of events. In addition, it can count the number of trigger-condition-qualified
events as fast as 25 million events a second.

Hardware Accelerated Mask Limit Testing And Measurement Limit Testing (Option) Makes It
Easy To See The Performance Of Your Device
Whether you are performing pass/fail tests to specified standards in manufacturing or testing for
infrequent signal anomalies, mask limit and measurement limit testing can be a valuable productivity
tool. The 3000T X-Series features powerful hardware-based mask testing that can perform up to
270,000 tests per second. You can select multiple test criteria, including the ability to run tests for a
specific number of acquisitions, a specified time, or until detection of a failure.

With the optional measurement limit testing capability, you can perform pass/fail testing based on user-
defined maximum and minimum limits on any parametric measurement that has been selected and
turned on. Stop-on-failure is also available.

Figure 27. Hardware accelerated mask testing allows testing against a golden waveform or user created mask to
find violations. In this example we captured over 5M tests in only 30 seconds.

Innovative Power Rail Probe (Option) Allows

Enhanced Views
The power rail noise, ripple, and transients
measurements can be challenging due to required offset
range and mV sensitivity. With its ± 24 V offset range,
ultra-low noise 1:1 attenuation ratio, and 2-GHz
bandwidth, the N7020A power rail probe is for users
making critical power integrity measurements that need
mV sensitivity on their DC power rails.

While the “Touch, Discover, Solve” elements of the scope highlight the key features that will make it
easy to debug and troubleshoot your device, there are other features that you may also want to
consider when choosing your next oscilloscope.

Total cost of ownership

The 3000T X-Series offers an extremely low cost of ownership. Between an industry leading mean time
between failure (MTBF) of over 250,000 hours and a market-leading calibration period of 3 years, you
can rest assured that your investment in a 3000T X-Series will be protected for years to come. In
addition, because needs change over time, you can purchase just what you need today and then
upgrade the scope’s bandwidth or application-specific software packages easily over time as your
projects evolve.
