Selects a coefficient to calculate an average on the displayed
samples (for example to attenuate random noise in a signal).
For the averaging coefficient to be taken into account in the
representation of the signal, the "Repetitive signal" option must be
selected.
The calculation is performed using the following formula:
Pixel N = Sample*1/Averaging rate + Pixel N-1
(1-1/Averaging rate):
Sample Value of the new sample acquired at abscissa t
Pixel N Ordinate of the pixel at abscissa t on the screen,
at instant N
Pixel N-1 Ordinate of the pixel at abscissa t on the screen,
at instant N-1
on the screen are displayed. Use this mode to display a variation in
time or of amplitude, or a modulation.
The whole of the acquisition (100,000 samples) is displayed on the
screen and a vector is plotted between samples. Use this mode to
display all details of the acquisition. This function can be used on a
memory or on a graph already acquired.
If the signal is not repetitive, do not use this option. The time resolution will then be
±1ns.
Note that if this choice is checked, signal reconstruction can take an extended time.
During this reconstruction, the signal must be stable (amplitude, frequency, waveform). To
speed up the reconstruction following a change in the signal, stop the acquisition, then
restart: Stop/Run.

2. Y(f) = FFT (Fast
Fourier Transform)
Displays extreme values of the signal, acquired between two samples of the acquisition
memory. This mode:
detects a false representation due to undersampling displays short-duration events (Glitch, ≤2ns).
Whatever time base is used, with its corresponding sampling rate, events having a short
duration (Glitch, ≤2ns) are displayed.
ROLL: Automatic on time base > 100ms, single
In single-shot mode, if the time base exceeds 100ms/div, the new samples are displayed
as soon as they are acquired. In addition, ROLL mode is activated when acquisition
memory is full (scrolling of the trace from right to left on the screen).
In triggered mode, save/retrieve can be used to record acquisitions in .trc format to the
"Traces" directory. This lets you store several rare events in the file system and analyze
them later.
Fast Fourier Transform
calculation
The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is used to calculate the discrete representation of a
signal in the frequency domain from its discrete representation in the time domain. It is
calculated on 2500 points. It can be used in the following applications:
measure harmonics and distortion of a signal analyse pulse response search for a noise source in logical circuits

x (n): a sample in the time domain

N: resolution of the FFT
n: time-domain index
k: frequency index
Before calculating the FFT, the oscilloscope weights the signal to be analyzed by a
window that acts as a bandpass filter. The choice of window type is essential to
distinguish the different spikes of a signal and make accurate measurements.

The total duration of the study interval results in a convolution in the frequency
domain of the signal with a function sinx/x.
This convolution modifies the graphic representation of the FFT because of the
characteristic lateral lobes of the sinx/x function (unless the study interval contains
an integral number of periods).
Five weighting windows are available. The menus appear immediately when you
select FFT menu:
Type of window
Effects of undersampling on the frequency representation:
If the sampling frequency is too low (less than twice the cutoff frequency of the
signal to be measured), the high-frequency components are undersampled and are
“aliased” (frequency-shifted) in the graphic representation of the FFT.
The Autoset function is active. It avoids the undersampling issue and adapts the
horizontal scale to make results easier to view.
The Zoom function is active. The zoom affects the graphic representation of the FFT
but does not change the conditions of acquisition (TB + depth).

Displays the breakdown into harmonics of a voltage or a current of which the signal is
steady-state or quasi-steady-state. It establishes a first diagnostic of the harmonic pollution
of an installation.
This mode displays a graph of the fundamental frequency and harmonics out to the 63rd.
The time base is adaptive; it is not adjusted manually.
This analysis is only for signals with a fundamental frequency between 40Hz and 450Hz.
Only channels CHx (not the functions or the memories) can undergo a harmonic analysis.
The harmonic analysis of 2 (OX 2 channels) or 4 (OX 4 channels) signals can be
displayed simultaneously.

There are 4 options: 15min, 30min, 1h, no saver mode.
The screen is reactivated by pressing any key on the front panel.
The instrument turns OFF after a specified time to save power. In
this case, instrument configuration is saved before power OFF.
There are 4 options: 30min, 1h, 4h, no auto off.
Default setup restores the factory configuration parameters. When
the instrument is turned ON it uses the settings in place the last time
it was turned OFF.
Recall results in the instrument starting up using the default (factory)
configuration.
WiFi configuration. You can:
scan the network at any time, then select the additional page of
settings as soon as the network has been chosen.
modify the fields IP address, subnetwork mask, gateway, then
validate by "Connect". The network is then stored and WiFi
communication is active.

(
: 132.147.250.10).
Each field can be set between 0 and 255; the fields are separated by decimal points.
Unlike the physical address, the IP address can be modified manually by the user or
automatically by DHCP.
Ensure the IP address is unique on your network. A duplicate address could impact
network operation.
If the result of the "LOGICAL AND" between the IP address of the addressee of the
message and the value of the subnetwork mask (SUBNET MASK) is different from the
address of the addressee of the message, the message is sent to the gateway
(GATEWAY), which takes charge of getting it to its destination.
The mask and the address of the gateway can be configured on the instrument.
This protocol automatically sets network access.
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server must be accessible in this network
(contact your network administrator to ensure this is the case).
Note: all files in "SCOPIX" including NF are viewable on a PC as an external disk via the USB port.
Ethernet communication is reserved for remote control of the instrument. The SCOPENET application, running on a PC,
uses the files in memory in SCOPIX.
Periodically, an "update available" message may appear on the home screen, if the
ScopiX is connected to Ethernet or WiFi:
This message indicates update files have been downloaded transparently to the ScopiX :
they are available for an update, which is recommended to obtain new functions, bug fixes;
etc.
Select OK and the update automatically installs the files in the ScopiX.The duration of the update varies, but is less than 15 minutes. Follow the directions (see below). Do not switch off ScopiX during the update. The files of the internal memory (measurements, screen shots, setups, etc.) are not
destroyed during the update.
For more complete information, go to the support space of our Web site: a manual
update procedure is available.

JAVA application PC is used to display the
ScopeNet IV page.
Carefully check the installation ofScopeNet to
minimize issues.
To check the instruments connected, do the following:
Press the network icon, in the center of the screen:
the search for instruments in the network (Ethernet
and WiFi) is performed by a specific function. A
series of compatible instruments connected is
displayed (see illustration on left).
The PC environment uses icons in an HMI identical
to the Scopix IV product, with the same access to
the functions and adjustments.
In Oscilloscope mode, ScopeNet IV proposes
adjustments by a right click on the waveform:
RUN/STOP, AUTO/TRIG/SINGLE/AUTOSET and
ZOOM are easy-to-configure parameters.
Example: 2 active channels: CH1 and CH4
2 greyed-out inactive channels: CH2 and CH3
In MULTIMETER mode, the vertical configuration can
be accessed by activating the channel (see top left).
In AUTO RANGE mode (default) you can select from
among a set of ranges (white zone around the quantity)
via the Coupling field (see lower left).
Example: - channel 1 active, AUTO
- channels 2 and 3 inactive, AUTO
- channel 4 inactive, but adjustment of the voltage
To view the signal and project it on the screen, be aware of the following characteristics:
Coupling: note whetherthe signal is pure AC or has a DC component amplitude in Volts: defines the signal’s amplitude on screen frequency or period of the signal: note whether or not it is repetitive bandwidth: the frequency related to the maximum frequency to measure
Once these characteristics are known, you can configure the channel to display the signal. There are two ways to do this:
using the keypad using the touch screen
5.1.1. Using the keypad
Key Action
1. Connect the Probix probe to a channel input.
2. Press the channel key to refresh it and access configuration.
3. Press this key to select coupling.
4. Press this key to select the vertical sensitivity of the channel or its maximum amplitude
visible on the screen.
5. Press this key to select the desired time base of the channel or the maximum period
visible on screen.
6. Press this key to view signal.
Note
7. The signal appears.
It is not possible to configure the bandwidth of the signal from the keypad.
For optimum response, use the knob at the top of the probe to adjust the lowfrequency compensation of the probe so that the plateau of the signal is horizontal.
For optimum measurement accuracy, we recommend displaying two complete periods of one or more signals. To do this,
modify the time base using the "horizontal" keys.
There are two ways to start Auto measurements in a channel:
using the keypad: Press the channel key (1 to 4) and the icon shown on the left at the
same time.
