Speciﬁcations

This chapter contains speciﬁcations for the MDO4000 Series oscilloscopes. All speciﬁcations are guaranteed unless noted as "typical." Typical speciﬁcations are provided for marked with the

your convenience but are not guaranteed. Speciﬁcations that are

symbol are checked in Performance Veriﬁcation.

All speciﬁc

ations apply to all MDO4000 models unless noted otherwise. To meet

speciﬁcations, two conditions must ﬁrst be met:

The oscill

oscope must have been operating continuously for twenty minutes

within the speciﬁed operating temperature range. (See Table 12 on page 23.)

You m us t p

erform the Signal Path Compensation (SPC) operation d escribed instep2oftheSelf Test before evaluating speciﬁcations. (Se e page 62, Self Test.) If the operating temperature changes by more than 10 °C (18 °F), you must perform the SPC operation again.

Characteristic Description

Delta-time m accuracy

easurement

The formula to calculate the delta-time measurement accuracy (DTA) for a given instrument setting and input signal is given in the following table. (See Table 3.) The formula assumes insigniﬁcant signal content above Nyquist and insigniﬁcant error due to aliasing. The abbreviations used in the formula are as follows:

= slew rate around 1st point in measurement (1stedge)

= slew rate around 2nd point in measurement (2ndedge)

N =input-referred noise (V speciﬁcations.)

TBA = time base accuracy (5 ppm) (Refer to Long-term Sample Rate and Delay Time Accuracy speciﬁcations.)

= delta-time measurement duration (sec)

RD = (record length)/(sample rate)

= 1/(sample rate)

assume edge shape that results from Gaussian ﬁlter response

The term under the squareroot sign is the stability and is due to TIE (Time Interval Error). The errors due to this term occur throughout a single-shot measurement. The second term is due to both the absolute center-frequency accuracy and the center-frequency stability of the time base and varies between multiple single-shot measurements over the observation interval (the amount of time from the ﬁrst single-shot measurement to the ﬁ nal single-shot measurement).

Time Qualiﬁed Logic

For logic, the time between channels refers to the length of time a logic state derived from more than one channel must exist to be recognized. For events, the time is the minimum time between a main and delayed event that will be recognized if more than one channel is used.

For all vertical settings, the minimums are:

An active pulse width is the width of the clock pulse from its active edge (as deﬁned in the Clock Edge lower-bezel menu item) to its inactive edge. An inactive pulse width is the width of the pulse from its inactive edge to its active edge.

The user hold time is the number selected by the user.

The performance veriﬁcation procedures verify the performance of your instrument. They do not adjust your instrument. If your instrument fails any of the perfor factory adjustment performed. See the contact information on the back of the title page of this manual.

This section contains performance veriﬁcation procedures for the speciﬁcations marked with the Please ignore checks that do not apply to the speciﬁc model you are testing.

Print the test record on the following pages and use it to record the performance test results for your oscilloscope.

Check Level Measurement

Uncertainty

This test check +10 dBm, 0 dBm, and –15 dBm. This check uses the generator to step frequencies across four spans to verify that the instrument meets the speciﬁcation.

For this check, you will need the following equipment, which is described in the Required Equipment table. (See Table 15 on p age 28.)

Generator, such as the Anritsu generator

Power meter

Power head

Power splitter

Adapters and cables as shown in the following ﬁgure.

WARNING. The generator is capable of providing dangerous voltages. Be sure to

set the generator to off or 0 volts before connecting, disconnecting, and/or moving

t hookup during the performance of this procedure.
