Measurement Category

DS6000 series digital oscilloscopes can make measurements in Measurement Category I.

This oscilloscope can only be used for measurements within its specified measurement categories.

Measurement Category Definitions

Measurement category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to MAINS. Examples are measurements on circuits not derived from MAINS, and specially protected (internal) MAINS derived circuits. In the latter case, transient stresses are variable; for that reason, the transient withstand capability of the equipment is made known to the user.

Measurement category II is for measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the low voltage installation. Examples are measurements on household appliances, portable tools and similar equipment.

Measurement category III is for measurements performed i n the building installation. Examples are measurements on distribution boards, circuit-breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches, socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use and some other equipment, for example. Stationary motors with permanent connection to the fixed installation.

Measurement category IV is for measurements performed at the source of the low-voltage installation. Examples are electricity meters and measurements on primary overcurrent protection devices and ripple control units.

Peak Detect

In this mode, the oscilloscope acquires the maximum and minimum values of the sample interval signal to get the envelope or the narrow pulse of the signal that might be lost. Use this mode to avoid signal confusion at the expense of exaggerating the noise.

In this mode, the oscilloscope can display all the pulses whose pulse widths are at least as wide as the sample period.

High Resolution

This mode uses a kind of ultra-sample technique to average the neighboring points of the sample waveform to reduce the random noise on the input signal and generate much smoother waveforms on the screen. This is generally used when the sample rate of the digital converter is higher than the save rate of the acquisition memory.

5 To Trigger the Oscilloscope

For trigger, you set certain trigger condition according to the requirement and when a waveform in the waveform stream meets this condition, the oscilloscope captures this waveform as well as the neighbouring part and displays them on the screen. When working, the digital oscilloscope continuously acquires wav eform data even if a valid trigger does not occur. However, only when valid triggers occur, can the display become stable. The trigger circuit guarantees that each sweep or sample starts from the position of the trigger event in the input signal, namely each sweep and sample are synchronous and the waveforms acquired overlap to display stable waveform.

Trigger setting should be based o n the features of the input signal, thus you need to have some knowledge of the signal under test to quickly capture the desired waveform. This oscilloscope provides abundant advanced trigger functions which help you to focus on the waveform details of interest.
