N5406A FPGA dynamic probe for
6000 Series MSO
The N5406A FPGA dynamic
probe for the 6000 Series MSO
provides the most effective
solution for validating and
debugging embedded designs
incorporating Xilinx FPGAs. This
innovative solution enables you
to:
• View internal FPGA activity
correlated to external analog
events – With the FPGA
dynamic probe, the 6000 Series
MSO’s 16 digital channels can
be used to access hundreds of
internal signals, unlocking
visibility into your design that
you never had before.
• Make multiple measurements in
seconds – Moving probe points
internal to an FPGA used to
require time consuming
recompiles. Now, in less than a
second you can easily measure
a different set of internal
signals without design changes.
By not changing the design,
FPGA timing stays constant
when you select new sets of
internal signals for probing.

more effectively with FPGA dynamic probe and Agilent MSO.
• Leverage the work you did in your
design environment – The FPGA
dynamic probe automatically
maps internal signal names
from your FPGA design tool to
the MSO’s digital channel labels.
This provides easy signal
identification and eliminates
unintentional mistakes while
saving hours of time.

for Mixed-Signal Oscilloscopes
data sheet (Agilent publication
number 5989-1848EN).
E2690B oscilloscope tools
The E2690B oscilloscope’s tools,
licensed by Agilent Technologies
from Amherst Systems Associates
(ASA), are the most powerful
suites of analysis, debug,
collaboration and automation
tools for Agilent real-time
oscilloscopes. The E2690B
oscilloscope tools make it easy
for in-depth analysis of the
captured signals.
This software works with the
6000 Series 300 MHz - 1 GHz
models. For more information on
the E2690B oscilloscope tools, see
the E2690B Oscilloscope Tools
data sheet (Agilent publication
number 5989-3525EN).
89601A vector signal
analysis software
Expand the measurement
capability of your 6000 Series
scope with the 89601A vector
signal analysis software. This
advanced DSP based software
takes the digitized signal data
provided by the scope and
provides FFT based spectrum
analysis and wide bandwidth
digital modulation analysis. Use
these capabilities to demodulate
wireless communication signals
like WCDMA and cdma2000, and
wireless networking signals like
802.11 WiFi and 802.16 WiMax.
Take advantage of the super wide
bandwidth of your scope to
capture and evaluate radar signals.
