Preventing ESD
Install Your Ins
trument
CAUTION. Adir
ect electrostatic discharge can damage the instrument input. To learn how to avoid this damage, read
the following information.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a concern when handling any electronic equipment. The instrument is designed with
robust ESD protectio
n, however it is still possible that large discharges of static electricity directly into the signal input
may damage the instrument. To avoid damage to the instrument, use the following techniques to prevent electrostatic
discharge to the instrument.
1. Discharge the static voltage from your
body by wearing a grounded antistatic
wrist strap while connecting and
disconnecting cables and TekConnect
adapters. The instrument provides a
front panel connection for this purpose.
2. A cable that is left unconnected on
a bench can develop a large static
charge. Discharge the static voltage
from all cables before connecting them
to the instrument or device under test
by momentarily grounding the center
conductor of the cable, or by connecting
a50Ω termination to one end, before
attaching the cable to the instrument.

Acquisition Concepts
Acquisition Hardware
Before a signal is displayed, it must pass through the input channel where it is scaled and digitized. Eachchannel has a
dedicated input amplifier and digitizer. Each channel produces a stream of digital data from which the instrument extracts
waveform records.
Sampling Process
Acquisition is the process of sampling an
analog signal, converting it into digital data,
and assembling it into a waveform record,
which is then stored in acquisition memory.
Real-Time Sampling
Inreal-time sampling,the instrument digitizes
all of the points it acquires using one trigger
event. Use real-time sampling to capture
single-shot or transient events.

Interpolation
Yourinstrument can interpolate between the samples it acquires when itdoes not have all of the actual samples it needs to fill
thewaveform record. Linear interpolation computes recordpoints between actual acquired samples by using astraight line fit.
Sin(x)/x interpolation computes record points using a curve fit between the actual values acquired. Sin(x)/x interpolation
is the default interpolation mode because it requires fewer actual sample points than linear interpolation to accurately
represent the waveform.

How the Acquisition Modes Work
Sample mode retains the first sampled point
from each acquisition interval. Sample is the
default mode.

interval. Hi-Res provides a higher-resolution,
lower-bandwidth waveform.
Envelope mode finds the highest and
lowest record points over many acquisitions.
Envelope uses Peak Detect for each
individual acquisition.
Average mode calculates the average value
for each record point over many acquisitions.
Average uses Sample mode for each
individual acquisition. Use average mode to
reduce random noise.
Waveform Database mode is a
three-dimensional accumulation of source
waveform data over several acquisitions. In

the database includes a count of the number
of times a specific waveform point (time and

When and Why to Turn On MagniVu
For the MSO5000 Series, MagniVugives you higher resolution to accurately determine edge placement. Thishelps you
make precise timing measurements on digital edges. You can see up to 32 times more detail than with normal digital
channel sampling.
The MagniVu record is acquired in parallel to the main digital acquisition and is available at any time, running or stopped.
MagniVu provides an ultra high resolution view of your data sampled at a maximum resolution of 60.6 ps for 10,000 points
centered around the trigger.
NOTE. MagniVu centers itself around the trigger point. If you turn MagniVu on while using a large record length and you are
looking somewhere other than the trigger point, then the digital signal may be off screen. In most of these cases, you can find
the digital record by looking for the digital signal in the upper overview and panning accordingly.

Pinpoint Tr iggers
The Pinpoint trigger system comes with advanced trigger types that are usable on both A and B triggers, and it can reset the
trigger sequence if the B event does not occur after a specific number of events or a specific time. Pinpoint triggers support
capture of events based on the most complex trigger event or sequence of trigger events.
Only a portion of the Pinpoint trigger functionality is available on MSO5000 and DPO5000 instruments.
This section contains concepts and procedures for using the trigger system.
Triggering Concepts
Pinpoint Trigge
rs
Trigger Eve
The trigger event establishes the time-zero point in the waveform record. All waveform record data a re located in time with
respect to that point. The instrument continuously acquires and retains enough sample points to fill the pretrigger part of the
waveform record. When a trigger event occurs, the instrument starts acquiring samples to build the posttrigger part of the
waveform record (displayed after, or to the right of, the trigger event). Once a trigger is rec ognized, the instrument will not
accept another trigger until the acquisition is complete and the holdoff time has expired.
nt
Trigger M odes
The trigger mode determines how the instrument behaves in the absence of a trigger event:
Normal trigger mode enables the instrument to acquire a waveform only when it is triggered. If no trigger occurs, the last
waveform record acquired remains on the display. If no last waveform exists, no waveform is displayed.
Auto trigger mode enables the instrument to acquire a waveform even if a trigger does not occur. Auto mode uses a timer
arts after a trigger event occurs. If another trigger event is not detected before the timer times out, the instrument
that st
forces a trigger. The length of time it waits for a trigger event depends on the time base setting.
Auto mode, when forcing triggers in the absence of valid triggering events, does not synchronize the waveform on the
display. The waveform will appear to roll across the screen. Ifvalid triggers occur, the display will become stable.
In edge-trigger mode, force the instrument to trigger by pushing the Force Triggerbutton on the Trigger Setup control window.
Select the trigger mode in the Trig > Mode menu. For more information, see the instrument online help.
ger Holdoff
Trig
Trigger holdoff can help stabilize triggering, by extending the period in which further trigger recognition is suppressed after
initiating an acquisition. Such an extension can help the system skip over the remaining events of a recurring burst of events,
and thus always trigger on the first event in each burst. Adjust holdoff to obtain stable triggering when the instrument is
triggering on undesired trigger events.
Set the trigger holdoff in the Trig > Holdoff menu. For more information, see the instrument online help.

Trigger Coupling
Trigger coupling determines what part of the signal is passed to the trigger circuit. Edge triggering can use all available
coupling types: AC, DC, Low Frequency Rejection, High Frequency Rejec tion, and Noise Rejection. All other trigger types
use DC coupling only. Your instrument may not offer all coupling types.
Select the trigger coupling in the Trig > A Event (Main) Trigger Setup menu. Formore information, see the instrument
online help.
Horizontal Position
Horizontal position defines where the trigger occurs on the waveform record. It lets you choose how much the instrument

Pretrigger data is valuable when troubleshooting. For example, if you are trying to find the cause of an unwanted glitch
in your test circuit, trigger on the glitch and make the pretrigger period large enough to capture data before the glitch.

ng what happens before the glitch, you may uncover information that helps you find the source of the glitch.
Slope an
The slope control determines whether the instrument finds the trigger point on the rising or the falling edge of a signal. The
level control determines where on that edge the trigger point occurs.
d Level
Delayed Trigger System
You can trigger with the A (Main) trigger system alone or combine the A (Main) trigger with the B (Delayed) trigger to
trigger on sequential events. When using sequential triggering, the A trigger event arms the trigger system, and the B
er event triggers the instrument when the B trigger conditions are met. Aand B triggers can (and typically do) have
trigg
separate sources. The B trigger condition is based on a time delay or a specified number of events. (See page 74, Using A(Main) and B (Delayed) Triggers.)

Checking Trigger Status
Check the trigger status from the status lights o n the front panel or from the readout.
Check the ARM, READY, and TRIG’D
front-panel controls to determine the trigger
status.
If TRIG’D is on, the instrument has
recognized a valid trigger and is filling
the posttrigger part of the waveform.
If READY is on, the instrument can
accept, and is waiting for, a valid trigger
to occur. Pretrigger data has been
acquired.
Pinpoint Trigge
rs
If ARM is on, the trigger circuitry is
filling the pretrigger part of the waveform
record.
If both TRIG’D and READY are on,
a valid A event trigger has been
recognized and the instrument is waiting
for a delayed trigger. When a delayed
trigger is recognized, the posttrigger part
of the delayed waveform will fill.
If ARM, TRIG’D, and READY are off,
acquisitions have stopped.
To quickly determine the settings of some
key trigger parameters, check the Trigger
