Pollution d

A measure of the contaminants that could occur in the environment around and within a product. Typically the internal environment inside a product is considered to be the same as the external. Products should be used only in the environment for which they are rated.

Pollution degree 1. No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. Products in this category are generally encapsulated, hermetically sealed, or located in clean rooms.

Pollution degree 2. Normally only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. Occasionally a temporary conductivity that is caused by condensation must be expected. This location is a typical ofﬁce/home environment. Temporary condensation occurs only w hen the product is out of service.

Pollution degree 3. Conductive pollution, or dry, nonconductive pollution that becomes conductive due to condensation. These are sheltered locations where neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. The area is protected from direct sunshine, rain, or direct wind.

Pollution degree 4. Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through conductive dust, rain, or snow. Typical outdoor locations.

Operating system restore

If your instrument shipped with an operating system restore DV D and you need to restore the operating system, you can use the procedure that came with the DVD.

The instrument contains an operating system restore ﬁle on a separate partition of the hard drive.

The preferred method to restore the instrument operating system is to use the hard disk restore ﬁle.

CAUTION. Using the restore p rocess reformats the hard drive and reinstalls the operating system. All saved data is lost. If

possible, save important ﬁles to external media before performing a system restore.

1. Restart the instrument. During the boot-up process you will see the following message at the top of the s creen: S tarting

Acronis Loader... press F 5 for Acronis Startup Recovery Manager

NOTE. To successfully complete the system restore, you must use the W indows version of the Acronis software. Using a

generic MAC keyboard starts the DOS v ersion of the Acronis software. Do not use a MAC keyboard.

2. Repeatedly press the F5 key until the Acronis True Image Tool opens. There is a 15-second time period from when the

message appears until the instrument proceeds with the nor mal instrument startup. If the instrument does not open the Acronis application, power off the instrument, then power on the instrument and try again.

3. Click Restore.

4. In the Conﬁrmation dialog box, click Yes to restore the instrument operating system, or No to exit the restore process.

The restore process takes approximately 30 minutes; the actual time depends on the instrument conﬁguration.

Acquisi

Before a signal is displayed, it must pass through the input channel where it is scaled and digitized. Each c hannel 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

In real-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

Your instrument can interpolate between the samples it acquires when it does not have all of the actual samples it needs to ﬁll the waveform record. Linear interpolation computes record points between actual acquired samples by using a straight 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.

Sample mode retains the ﬁrst sampled point

from each acquisition interval. Sample is the default mode.

Peak Detect mode uses the highest and lowest of all the samples contained in two consecutive only works with real-time, noninterpolated sampling and is useful for catching high frequency gl

Hi Res mode calculates the average of all the sa interval. Hi-Res p rovides 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 addition to amplitude and timing information, the database includes a count of the number of times a speciﬁc waveform point (time and amplitude) was acquired.

Setting the Termination Voltage

Te rmination voltage adjustment is only available on MSO/DPO70000DX m odels.

Oscilloscope inputs have traditionally been terminated to ground. The signals being measured often are not ground referenced. Pulling signals to ground can impair m easurement results or potentially damage the DUT.

The instrument delivers a variable termination voltage up to ±3.4 volts to the device under test (DUT), and supports a large offset range. This allows you to adjust the oscilloscope to mirror the conditions and behavior of the DUT, and measure high-speed signals in an environment similar to the one in which they operate.

Using the combination of termination voltage and offset to center the oscilloscope reference point in the operating range of the DUT maximizes the available dynamic range and minimizes the noise of the measurement system.

To set the termination voltage of a channel, do these steps:

1. Select Vertical > Vertical Setup.

2. Click in

Only a portion of the Pinpoint trigger functionality is available on MSO5000B and DPO5000B instruments.

This section contains concepts and procedures for using the trigger system.

Triggering concepts

Trigger eve

The trigger event establishes the time-zero point in the waveform record. All waveform record data are 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 recognized, the instrument will not accept another trigger until the acquisition is complete and the holdoff time has expired.

Trigger modes

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 d isplay. 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 m ode 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. If valid triggers occur, the display will become stable.

In edge-trigger mode, force the instrument to trigger by pushing the Force Trigger button on the Trigger Setup control w indow.

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 R ejection, 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. For more 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 acquires be part that occurs after the trigger is the posttrigger part.

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. By analyzi Alternatively, to see what is happening in your system as a result of the trigger event, make the posttrigger period large enough to capture data after the trigger.

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. A and 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 75, Using a (Main) and b (Delayed) triggers.)

Pattern Lock automatically ﬁnds and locks on a long repeating pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS). This lock means that the instrument knows the bit length of the pseudo-random bit sequence and can predict when the cycle repeats. Pattern Lock enables the instrument to take samples at speciﬁc locations in a data pattern with outstanding time base accuracy.

Checking trigger status

Check the trigger status from the status lights on 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.

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 readout at the bottom of the display. The readouts differ for edge and the advanced triggers:

1. A trigger source = Ch1

2. Trigger slope = rising edge

Correcting trigger position

Trigger position correction corrects for differences in the data path and the trigger path to more a ccurately place the trigger on the displayed waveform. Trigger position correction can also use averaging to more accurately place the trigger on noisy signals. To more accurately place edge triggers on the display, perform the following procedure.

1. To more accurately place the trigger

on the display, check Enhanced Triggering. To more accurately place the trigger on noisy signals, also check Optimized for Noisy S ign als .

The O ptimized for Noisy Signals selection is only available if Enhanced Triggering is selected.
