Although real-time bandwidth will almost always be the number one criteria when it comes to selecting an oscilloscope to debug designs, waveform update rate is the most important characteristic of a scope that contributes to a scope’s ability to reveal random and infrequent events. Agilent’s InfiniiVision 4000 X-Series oscilloscopes update waveforms as fast as 1,000,000 waveforms per second making these scopes the masters at showing you the «needle-in-a-haystack» troublesome waveform.
