The Agilent InfiniiVision 7000B Series is a family of digital storage oscilloscopes (DSO) and mixed-signal oscilloscopes (MSO) engineered for signal visibility on benches that need to view analog, digital, and serial signals together. The family spans 14 models across 100 MHz, 350 MHz, 500 MHz, and 1 GHz bandwidth tiers, in 2-channel and 4-channel configurations, with MSO variants adding 16 digital timing channels. Every model carries the same 12.1-inch XGA TFT display, the same MegaZoom III acquisition architecture, and the same shallow 6.5-inch-deep, 13-pound chassis.
Application coverage described in the datasheet centers on capturing the signal detail and infrequent events that slower-updating oscilloscopes miss. The 7000B Series is positioned for mixed analog-and-digital debug (MSO models pair scope channels with 16 digital timing channels and a mixed-signal trigger), serial bus development (hardware-accelerated decode and trigger for I2C, SPI, CAN, LIN, RS-232/UART, I2S, FlexRay, and MIL-STD-1553), FPGA validation (with the Xilinx and Altera dynamic-probe applications), automated compliance and mask testing, segmented-memory acquisition for bursty signals, and analog HDTV/EDTV and broadcast video work. Standard triggering covers edge, pulse width, pattern, TV, duration, sequence, and Nth-edge-burst modes.
Agilent Technologies was spun out of Hewlett-Packard in 1999 to carry forward HP's test and measurement business. In 2014, Agilent's electronic measurement division was separated again as Keysight Technologies, which is the current corporate home of the InfiniiVision oscilloscope line. Instruments built and sold under the Agilent brand, including the 7000B Series, trace directly to that lineage.
The InfiniiVision 7000B Series is structured as a single platform offered across four bandwidth tiers (100 MHz, 350 MHz, 500 MHz, and 1 GHz) and two channel counts (2 or 4 analog channels), with each configuration available as a DSO or as an MSO that adds 16 digital timing channels. All fourteen models share the same MegaZoom III acquisition engine, the same 12.1-inch XGA display, the same 8 Mpts of standard acquisition memory, and the same I/O, software, and trigger feature set described in the datasheet.
Differences across the family are concentrated in three places: bandwidth and the corresponding sample rate, the number of simultaneously-acquired analog channels, and whether the model includes the 16 digital timing channels of the MSO configuration. The discussion below covers how those three axes interact and which model number maps to which combination.
Each pre-owned model in the table below is its own product page with condition-matched pricing and stock. Selecting the bandwidth tier and channel-count configuration that matches the intended application generally matters more than selecting between adjacent tiers on bandwidth alone, because the digital-channel and channel-count decisions cannot be added later as a software option.
Bandwidth and sample rate scale together across the family. The 100 MHz and 350 MHz models (DSO/MSO 701xB and 703xB) acquire at 2 GSa/s on each channel. The 500 MHz models (705xB) acquire at 2 GSa/s on each channel or 4 GSa/s in half-channel mode (one channel in each input pair active). The 1 GHz models (710xB) acquire at 2 GSa/s on each channel or 4 GSa/s in half-channel mode, with single-shot bandwidth reaching the full 1 GHz only in half-channel mode.
Channel-count and MSO differences are structural rather than scalar. Two-channel models (the 7xx2B variants) acquire on channels 1 and 2 simultaneously; four-channel models (7xx4B) acquire on channels 1 through 4 simultaneously. MSO models (the MSO prefix) add 16 digital timing channels and the mixed-signal trigger, and they include the 54620-68701 flying-lead logic probe with 20 IC clips and five ground leads. A previously-purchased DSO in this family can be field-upgraded to the equivalent MSO configuration using the DSO-to-MSO upgrade kit referenced in the datasheet (N2741A for 701xB, N2735A for 703xB, N2736A for 705xB, N2737A for 710xB).
