– Key Features
The M9241A integrates InfiniiVision benchtop oscilloscope technology into modular architecture. Optional integrated instruments expand measurement capability: a 20 MHz arbitrary waveform generator (WaveGen), 3-digit voltmeter (DVM), 8-digit counter for frequency and totalizer measurements, protocol analyzer, and spectrum analysis with hardware-accelerated FFT measurements.
Triggering includes exclusive zone triggering. Hardware-based mask testing is available, along with optional serial trigger and analysis and enhanced HDTV triggering and analysis software.
– Typical Applications
The modular design suits automated test environments requiring high waveform capture rates. Applications span signal integrity verification, protocol debugging, spectral analysis, and general-purpose signal measurement across 2-channel configurations.
– Compatibility & Integration
The instrument operates within PXIe chassis and supports multiple programming interfaces: IVI-COM drivers, LabVIEW Driver API, and SCPI commands. A Soft Front Panel (SFP) user interface provides standalone control. Integration with existing ATE systems leverages proven InfiniiVision measurement architecture.
