The manual of my scope does not give any pinouts.

The propbe of my mixed-signal scope won't open very easily: The 40-pin 
connector has rivets, and the four screws on the probe side won't open the 
box (seems to be glued).

I remember that there was a demo board when Agilent Germany sent me a scope 
for review. It plugged directly to the 40-pin connector and demonstrated 
how easy it is to find glitches with the mixed-signal scope. As far as I 
can remember, it was HC-TTL chips on that board (plus some resistors and 
capacitors). This gives two hints:

a) there's a power line on that connector
b) the inputs can be used directly with digital logic.

I think the best way to reverse-engineer the pinout is to get one of those 
demo boards. Call your local Agilent office and pretend to be interested in 
a mixed-signal scope like the 54622D. They'll send you one for review for 
up to a week, and it's totally free (at least they did in Germany about 20 
months ago). Once you have the result, it would be nice if you posted it here.
