Tektronix TDSPWR3 Reference manual
Getting Started with TDSPWR3
You can use this side of the Quick Reference to start to take
measurements with the Power Measurement and Analysis
Software (TDSPWR3). The other sidecontains a complete
menu tree for TDSPWR3 software.
NOTE. For completeoperating instructions
and General Safety information, refer to the
Online Help for the application.
4. Select the SwitchingLossoption.
9. Push the “Running Man” button to starttaking
measurements. If the measurement is successful, the
application automatically displays the results. You can
also view the results by selecting View> Results from
the application menu bar.
The TDSPWR3 Power Measurements and Analysis
software transforms a digital oscilloscope into an analysis
tool thatmeasuresand analyzes power dissipationin power
supply switching devices and magneticcomponents. It then
generates detailed test reports in customizable formats.
Performing a Switching Loss Measurement
To measure Switching Loss, follow these steps:
1. Select File> Run Application> TDSPWR3 in the
oscilloscope menu bar.
2. Connecttheprobesto the deviceunder test.For
example, the testsetup for Switching Loss is shown
below.
WARNING. When connecting to a circuit
with hazardousvoltages,referto the
warningsfortheindividual products and
verify that the probes and othercomponents
are used within their ratings.
3. In the Power Devicetab, select Power Dissipation. Press
Configure.
5. Configurethe options in the common configuration
panel.
10. The application displays results for the measurement.
6. Select the Source and assign the Voltageand Current
channels.
7. Set the appropriateI-Probe settings.
11. To generatea report, select Report> Report Generator.
12. Select the template in the GenerateReport tab.
13. Select the Generate button to post the test data to the
template.
8. Select the Deskew option or select Utilities>Deskew to
deskew.
