Agilent Technologies has won a European-wide bid to supply the German Federal Armed Forces with more than 1,500 digital storage oscilloscopes (DSO). The 6000 series oscilloscopes will be delivered by the end of the year and will be used by engineers and technicians to test electrical equipment at the maintenance and repair facilities of the German Air Force, Navy and Army.
The oscilloscopes are particularly suited to meeting the challenges that engineers and technicians face with testing sophisticated electronic designs. Designs are no longer based only on analog technology, but increasingly contain digital signals and serial communication buses, creating an environment of mixed fast and slow signals. This mixed-signal environment means engineers need to measure composite signal conditions and view time-correlated analog and digital signals and the 6000 series has these capabilities.
Jürgen Bochtler, sales manager for Agilent’s Electronic Measurement Group in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, stated, “Our new 6000 series has made its mark on the oscilloscope market. Since introducing the new oscilloscope family last year, we have recorded significant growth and won market share in this highly competitive arena.”
