To avoid re or personal
injury
y summary
Review the fo this product or any products connected to it.
To avoid potential hazards, use this product only as specied.
Only qualied personnel should perform service procedures.
Use proper power cord. Use only the power cord specied for this product and certied for the country of use.
Connect and disconnect properly. Do not connect or disconnect probes or test leads while they are connected to a v oltage source.
Connect and disconnect properly. De-energize the circuit under test before connecting or disconnecting the current probe.
Ground the product. This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric shock, the grounding conductor must be connected to earth ground. Before making connections to the input or output terminals of the product, ensure that the product is properly grounded.

Specications
This chapter contains specications for the MDO4000 Series oscilloscopes. All specications are guaranteed unless noted as "typical." Typical specications are provided for marked with the
your convenience but are not guaranteed. Specications that are
symbol are checked in Performance Verication.
All specific
ations apply to all MDO4000 models unless noted otherwise. To meet
specications, two conditions must rst be met:
The oscill
oscope must have been operating continuously for twenty minutes
within the specied 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 specications. (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 insignicant signal content above Nyquist and insignicant error due to aliasing. The abbreviations used in the formula are as follows:
SR
= slew rate around 1st point in measurement (1stedge)
1
= slew rate around 2nd point in measurement (2ndedge)
SR
2
N =input-referred noise (V specications.)
TBA = time base accuracy (5 ppm) (Refer to Long-term Sample Rate and Delay Time Accuracy specications.)
= delta-time measurement duration (sec)
t
p
RD = (record length)/(sample rate)
= 1/(sample rate)
t
sr
assume edge shape that results from Gaussian lter 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 rst single-shot measurement to the nal single-shot measurement).

Time Qualied 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:
Clock active Clock inactive
User hold time + 2.5 ns 2 ns
An active pulse width is the width of the clock pulse from its active edge (as dened 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.
