Agilent Technologies and Pickering Interfaces have introduced a wired trigger bus (WTB) adaptor that allows Agilent 6000 and 8000 Series mixed signal oscilloscopes (MSOs) to show the logical state and analog representations of all eight LXI WTB channels on a single display. Said to be the only adaptor on the market able to do this, the LXI WTB adaptor provides a simple method of exchanging trigger signals between LXI devices that use the WTB. It replaces ad hoc trigger systems commonly seen in GPIB-based automated test systems where instruments can exchange proprietary triggers between devices using coaxial cables and other digital I/O connections. The LXI WTB provides a way of exchanging these trigger signals with a standardized interface that eliminates the makeshift wiring, signal routing, switching and level buffering over distances exceeding 10m with low latency and high speed.
