Getting acquainted with your instrument

The following content provides a high-level description of the instrument controls and user interface.

Refer to the instrument help for detailed information on using the controls and user interface to display waveforms and take measurements.

Front panel controls and connectors

The front panel controls provide direct access to key instrument settings such as vertical, horizontal, trigger, cursors, and zoom. The connectors are where you input signals with probes or cables, or insert USB devices.

Figure 3: 5 Series MSO controls

1. Acquisition and Cursors controls:

MSO54, MSO56, MSO58 Installation and Safety Manual 7

Getting acquainted with your instrument

■

Run/Stop starts and stops waveform acquisition. The button color indicates the acquisition status (green = running and acquiring; red = stopped). When stopped, the oscilloscope shows waveforms from the last completed acquisition. The Run/Stop button on the screen also shows the acquisition status.

■

Cursors button turns screen cursors on or off. Use the Multipurpose knobs to move the cursors. Double-tap the cursor readouts, or on a cursor bar (line), to open the configuration menu to set cursor types and functionality. See Display

and configure cursors on page 50.

■

Fast Acq™ enables or disables the fast acquisition mode. FastAcq provides high-speed waveform capture that

reduces the dead time between waveform acquisitions, enabling the capture and display of transient events such as glitches and runt pulses. It is helpful in finding elusive signal anomalies. Fast acquisition mode can also display waveform phenomena at an intensity that reflects their rate of occurrence.

■

Single/Seq enables making a single waveform acquisition, or a specified number of acquisitions (as set in the Acquisition configuration menu). Pushing Single/Seq turns off Run/Stop mode and takes a single acquisition. The

button color indicates the acquisition status (quick green flash = single acquisition acquired; solid green = waiting for trigger event). Pushing Single/Seq again takes another single acquisition.

■

High Res applies unique finite impulse response (FIR) filters based on the current sample rate. This FIR filter maintains the maximum bandwidth possible for that sample rate while rejecting aliasing. The filter removes noise from the oscilloscope amplifiers and ADC above the usable bandwidth for the selected sample rate. Implementation of the filter in hardware, ahead of the trigger and storage, reduces trigger jitter and enables using Fast Acq mode while in

High Res mode.

High Res mode also guarantees at least 12 bits of vertical resolution. The number of bits of resolution is displayed in

the Acquisition badge at the bottom of the screen. The Horizontal badge also updates to show the sample rate and record length settings while in High Res mode.

■

Clear deletes the current acquisitions and measurement values from memory.

2. Multipurpose knobs:

■

Multipurpose knobs (A, B) The Multipurpose knobs A and B move cursors and set parameter values in configuration menu input fields. Selecting an menu field that can use a Multipurpose knob assigns the indicated knob to change the value in that input field. The ring around each knob lights when you can use that knob to do an action.

8 MSO54, MSO56, MSO58 Installation and Safety Manual

Getting acquainted with your instrument

Push a Multipurpose knob to enable the Fine mode for making smaller increment changes. Push the knob again to exit

Fine mode.

3. Trigger controls:

■

Force forces a trigger event at a random point in the waveform and captures the acquisition.

■

Level sets the amplitude level that the signal must pass through to be considered a valid transition. The color of the Level knob indicates the trigger source except for dual-level triggers. The Level knob is disabled when the trigger type

requires two level settings or other trigger qualifiers (set from the Trigger configuration menu). Push the knob to set the threshold level to 50% of the peak-to-peak amplitude range of the signal.

■

Slope sets the signal transition direction to detect for a trigger (low to high, high to low, or either direction). Push the button to cycle through the selections. The Slope button is disabled when the trigger type requires other slope qualifiers (set from the Trigger configuration menu).

■

Mode sets how the instrument behaves in the absence or presence of a trigger event:

■

Auto trigger mode enables the instrument to acquire and display a waveform whether or not a trigger event occurs. If a trigger event occurs, the instrument displays a stable waveform. If a trigger event does not occur, the instrument forces a trigger event and acquisition and displays an unstable waveform.

■

Normal trigger mode sets the instrument to acquire and display a waveform only when there is a valid trigger event. If no trigger occurs, the last waveform record acquired remains on the display. If no last waveform exists, no waveform is displayed.

MSO54, MSO56, MSO58 Installation and Safety Manual 9

Getting acquainted with your instrument

4. Vertical controls:

■

Position moves the selected waveform (Channel, Math, Reference, Bus) and its graticule up or down on the screen. The color of the Position knob indicates which waveform the knob is controlling. Push the knob to set the threshold level to 50% of the peak-to-peak amplitude range of the signal.

■

Scale sets the amplitude units per vertical graticule division of the selected waveform. The scale values are shown on the right edge of the horizontal graticule lines, and are specific to the selected waveform in both Stacked or Overlay modes (in other words, each waveform has its own unique vertical graticule settings regardless of display mode). The color of the Scale knob indicates which waveform the knob is controlling.

■

Channel buttons turn on (display), select, or turn off a channel, as follows:

■

If the channel is not displayed, pushing a Channel button turns on that channel to the Waveform view.

■

If the channel is on the screen and is not selected, pushing that channel's button selects that channel.

■

If the channel is on the screen and is also selected, pushing that channel's button turns that channel off (removes it from Waveform view).

■

The Math button adds or selects a Math waveform on the Waveform view, as follows:

■

If no Math waveform exists, pushing the Math button adds a Math waveform to the Waveform view and opens the Math configuration menu.

■

If only one Math waveform is displayed, pushing the button turns off the Math waveform (removes it from Waveform view). Push the button again to display the waveform.

■

If two or more Math waveforms are displayed, pushing the button cycles through selecting each math waveform.

■

The Ref button adds or selects a Reference (saved) waveform on the Waveform view, as follows:

■

The next time you push Save, the same type files are saved.

■

Screen Captures capture the entire screen, including most displayed configuration menus and dialog boxes.

■

Default Setup restores the oscilloscope settings (horizontal, vertical, scale, position, and so on) to the factory default settings.

■

Autoset automatically displays a stable waveform. See Quickly display a waveform (Autoset) on page 37.

7. Ground and Probe Compensation connectors:

■

The Ground and Probe Compensation connectors are located at the lower right side of the instrument, near the front panel. The Ground connector (the small hole in the case) provides an electrically grounded (through a resistor) connection point to attach an anti-static wrist strap, to reduce electrostatic damage (ESD) while you handle or probe the DUT.

■

The Probe Compensation connections provide a ground connector (upper tab) and 1 kHz square wave source (lower tab) for adjusting the high-frequency response of a passive probe (probe compensation). The oscilloscope uses this signal to automatically compensate supported probes, including the ones that ship with the product. See Compensate

the TPP0500B or TPP1000 probes on page 33.
