INTRODUCTION

About the HDO6000 Oscillosocopes

Combining Teledyne LeCroy’s HD4096 high-definition technology with long memory, a compact form factor, 12.1" touch screen display, powerful measurement and analysis tools, and mixed signal capability, the HDO6000 Oscillosocopes are ideal for circuit validation, system debug and waveform analysis. The powerful feature set provides analytical tools and unique application packages to streamline the testing process. Tools such as WaveScan Search and Find and History Mode, combined with advanced triggering, identify and isolate problems while Spectrum Analyzer Mode provides analysis tools in the frequency domain.

HD4096

HD4096 high-definition technology consists of high sample rate 12-bit ADCs, high signal-to-noise input amplifiers, and a low-noise system architecture. This technology enables HDO™ oscilloscopes to capture and display signals up to 1 GHz with a high sample rate and 16 times more resolution than other oscilloscopes.

Waveforms captured and displayed on the HDO6000 with HD4096 technology are cleaner and crisper. Signal details often lost in the noise are clearly visible and easy to distinguish, and measurements can be performed with unmatched precision for improved debug and analysis.

Mixed Signal Option

With embedded systems growing increasingly more complex, powerful mixed signal debug capabilities are an essential part of modern oscilloscopes. The 16 integrated digital channels and set of tools designed to view, measure and analyze analog and digital signals enable fast debugging of mixed signal designs. Flexible analog and digital cross-pattern triggering across all 20 channels provides the ability to quickly identify and isolate problems in an embedded system.

Spectrum Analyzer

Navigate waveforms in the frequency domain using spectrum analyzer type controls and apply FFT measurements without worrying about FFT set up.

WaveScan Search and Find

WaveScan® Search and Find allows you to search a single acquisition using more than 20 different criteria. Or, set up a scan condition and scan for an event over hours or even days.

History Mode

Never miss a waveform. History mode lets you scroll back in time to view previous waveforms and isolate anomalies. Use cursors and measurement parameters to quickly find the source of problems. History mode is always available with a single button press, no need to enable this mode.

LabNotebook Report Generator

Save and document all your waveforms, settings and screen images through the LabNotebook report generation tool. With LabNotebook, there’s no need to navigate multiple menus to save all these files independently. Returning your oscilloscope to a past state is only one button press away thanks to LabNotebook’s flashback feature.

The touch screen display is the principal viewing and control center of the oscilloscope. See “Touch Screen Display” for an overview of its components.

The front panel houses buttons and knobs that control different oscilloscope settings. For the most part, you can operate the instrument using front panel hard controls, display soft controls, or a mix of both that is convenient for you.

All front panel knobs have multiple modes of operation: pressing them invokes one action and turning them another. The labels below the knob tell you what happens when you “Push” instead of turn.

The built-in stylus holder stores a stylus that can be used with the touch screen display.

923011-00 Rev A

Front mounted host USB ports can be used for transferring data or connecting peripherals such as a mouse or keyboard.

The mixed signal intereface connects the digital leadset to input up-to- 16 digital lines (-MS models only).

Ground and calibration output terminals are used to compensate passive probes.

Carrying

The oscilloscope’s case contains a built-in carrying handle. Lift the handle away from the oscilloscope body, grasp firmly and lift the instrument.

Always unplug the instrument from the power source before lifting and carrying it.

Connecting

Make the desired cable connections. All except for the power connection are optional.

After start up, configure the connection on the oscilloscope using the menu options listed below. See the HDO6000 Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual for more detailed instructions.

Power

Connect the line cord rated for your country to the AC power inlet on the back of the instrument, then plug it into a grounded AC power outlet. (see Power and Ground Connections in “General Safety Information”).

LAN

Connect a cable from either Ethernet port on the side panel to a network access device. On the oscilloscope, use the standard Windows Network

dialog to configure the network connection. Go to Utilities > Preference

Setup > Email to configure email settings.

USB Peripherals

Connect the device to a USB port on the front or side of the instrument. Go to Utilities > Utilities Setup > Hardcopy to configure printer settings.

External Monitor

Connect the monitor cable to a video output on the side of the instrument (VGA, DVI, and HDMI are all supported). Go to Display > Display Setup >

923011-00 Rev A

Powering On/Off

The Power button controls the operational state of the oscilloscope. Press the button to switch on the instrument; press it again to switch “off” (i.e., Standby power).

CAUTION. Do not change the instrument’s Windows Power Options from the default Never to System Standby or System Hibernate modes.

CAUTION. Do not power on or calibrate the oscilloscope with any signal attached.

Always use the Power button or the File > Shutdown menu option to execute a proper shut down process and preserve settings. Pressing and holding the button will execute a “hard” shutdown, the same as on a computer, but we do not recommend doing this because it does not allow the Windows operating system to shut down properly.

The Power button does not disconnect the oscilloscope from the AC power supply; some “housekeeping” circuitry continues to draw power. The only way to fully power down the instrument is to use the Power button or the File > Shutdown command, then unplug the AC line cord from the outlet.

CAUTION. Do not place the instrument so that it is difficult to reach the power cord in case you need to disconnect from power.

We recommend unplugging the instrument if it will remain unused for a long period of time.

923011-00 Rev A

Software Activation

The oscilloscope operating software (firmware and standard applications) is active upon delivery.

Software Updates

Free firmware updates are available periodically from the Teledyne LeCroy website at teledynelecroy.com/support/softwaredownload. Registered users will receive email notification when a new update is released. Follow the instructions on the website to download and install the software.

Purchasing Software Options

Many optional software packages may be purchased to extend the functionality of the oscilloscope software. Refer to “Software Options” for more information.

Probes

HDO6000 Oscilloscopes are compatible with the included passive probes and all Teledyne LeCroy ProBus active probes that are rated for the oscilloscope’s bandwidth. Probe specifications and documentation are available at teledynelecroy.com/HDO6000.

SET UP

Digital Leadset

Standard with all HDO6000-MS model oscilloscopes, the digital leadset enables input of up-to-16 lines of digital data. Lines can be organized into four logical groups and can be named appropriately.

The digital leadset features two digital banks with separate threshold and hysteresis controls, making it possible to simultaneously view data from different logic families.

Each flying lead has a signal and ground connection. A variety of ground extenders and flying ground leads are available for different probing needs. In order to achieve optimal signal integrity, you should connect the ground at the tip of the flying lead for each channel used in your measurements. Use either the provided ground extenders or ground flying leads to make the ground connection.

To connect the leadset to the oscilloscope, push the connector into the mixed signal interface below the front panel until you hear a click.

To remove the leadset, press in and hold the buttons on each side of the connector, then pull out to release it.

Turning On/Off Traces

From the Front Panel

Press the corresponding Channel button (1–4) to turn on a trace and make it active. To turn off an active trace, press the button again.

A trace (waveform pattern) appears on the grid with a color-coded Channel descriptor box below it. This box always displays the current settings for the trace and is labeled C1–C4.

To open digital traces (-MS models only), press the Dig button. Digital trace descriptors are labeled Digital1-Digital4.

From the Display

Choose Vertical > Channel<#> Setup to turn on the trace and make it active. To turn off the trace, touch the descriptor box, then clear the Trace On checkbox on the Channel dialog.

For digital traces, choose Vertical > Digital<#> Setup. Turn off the trace by clearing the Group checkbox.

Zoom, Math, and Memory Traces

In addition to the channel and digital traces, you can view a zoom (close-up portion) of a trace (Z1-Z4), a trace previously stored to the oscilloscope’s memory (M1-M4), or a trace that displays the result of a math function applied to one or more source traces (F1-F8). The quickest way to turn on these traces is to use the front panel Zoom, Math, and Memory buttons, which open the corresponding trace setup dialogs. Adjust a trace individually by touching its descriptor box and changing dialog settings.

If multiple channel traces are open and you press Zoom, zoom traces are created for each channel.

Active vs. Inactive Trace

A highlighted descriptor box indicates the “active” trace, and all display and front panel actions will apply to that trace until another is selected. This is true for all traces, regardless of the type. Although several traces may be open and appear on the grid, only one at a time is active.

Inactive. Controls will not work for this trace.

Also, the front panel Channel buttons (1-4) and the Dig, Mem, Zoom, and Math buttons will light up to indicate the active trace.

Active. Controls will work for this trace.

Viewing Multiple Traces

By default, the oscilloscope has Auto Grid enabled. This divides the grid each time a new trace is opened, up to 16 grids for simultaneous viewing.

There are Display menu options to show all traces on a Single Grid, or to manually divide the grid up to eight times. When you manually divide the grid, zooms and measurement markers appear on the same grid as the source channel, while math and memory traces appear in new grids until none are available.

Manually move traces from grid to grid using the Next Grid shortcut button.

BASICS

Histogram

Histograms represent the statistical distribution of measurement values within an incremental range (bin) as a bar chart. Touch the Parameter tab (P<#>), then touch the Histogram button to open a histogram of that parameter in a new grid.

Trend

A trend is a waveform composed of a series of parameter measurements in the order the measurements were taken. The vertical units are those of the source parameter, the horizontal unit is measurement number. The trend contains a single value for each measurement. Touch the Parameter tab

(P<#>), then touch the Trend button to open a new grid showing the trend of that parameter.

Track

A track is a waveform composed of parameter measurements that is time synchronous with the source waveform. The vertical units are those of the source parameter and the horizontal units are seconds. In order to maintain time synchronism, the parameter values are posted at the sampling rate. Track values are redundant in that the same value is repeated every sample period until the measurement changes. Touch the Parameter tab (P<#>), then touch the Track button to open a histogram of that parameter in a new grid.

Math

Math traces display the result of applying a mathematical function (e.g., FFT) to one or more channel traces. One important distinction between math functions and measurement parameters is that the result of math is always another waveform, whereas the result of measurement is a number.

Choose Math > Math Setup or press

front panel Math button to open

Math dialog.

Check to turn on existing function.

Math trace (F1-F8) opens in

separate grid.

Touch F<#> tab or button and select

Trace On. (Deselect Trace On to close trace). Choose Source channel and math Operator.

Math descriptor box shows math

scaling. Touch to re-open function tab and adjust trace.

BASICS

Spectrum Analyzer

The Spectrum Analyzer software lets you quickly and easily use the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for frequency analysis. The controls are the same as you would find on an RF spectrum analyzer. You set the inputs and desired frequency span, and the oscilloscope automatically generates output in units relevant to the frequency domain. A spectrogram generator displays 2D or 3D renderings of historical data.

Choose Analysis > Spectrum

Analyzer to access the Spectrum Analyzer dialog.

Open/close FFT trace.

Choose type and source of input.

Specify frequency span of interest.

Automatically mark and tabulate

peaks, or set measurement markers on frequencies.

2D or 3D spectrogram shows history

of spectra; 2D can be shifted on two axes; 3D can be rotated around three axes.

Tabular readout of marker

measurements.

Memories (Reference Waveforms)

Memories are traces stored for reference. They can be recalled to the display for comparison with other traces. A memory can be zoomed or measured for better analysis of historical data. You can store up-to-four internal memories (M1-M4). After that, new memories will overwrite previously stored data.

Internal memories only persist until the oscilloscope is rebooted. To store memories indefinitely, save them to an external file by choosing File > Save Waveform. The file can then be recalled into one of the four internal memories for viewing by choosing File > Recall Waveform. Only memory files saved with the extension .trc can be recalled.

Press the front panel Mem(ory) button to open the Memory dialog.

To turn on stored memory, check On next to M1-M4.

To store new memory, touch M1-M4 button or tab.

Select source trace in Copy From Waveform.

Touch to copy to internal memory.

Make any other adjustments to stored waveform.

Documenting

HDO6000 Oscilloscopes offer several ways to preserve and share data—such as print, save to file, email, or save as Notebook Entry— any of which can be associated with the front panel Print button.

Go to Utilities > Utilities Preferences > Hardcopy Setup to configure how the oscilloscope handles the Print command. To make Print create a new Notebook Entry, go to File > LabNotebook > Preferences and select Create Entry when Hardcopy Pressed. Pressing Print captures an image of the display, which will then be handled according to your chosen Print method.

Sending Data

If you have email set up on the oscilloscope, LabNotebook reports and other saved files can be sent directly from the instrument. They can also be transferred to a USB drive through any of the host USB ports on the instrument. Use the Windows Explorer to transfer files from your save folder.

LabNotebook

The integrated LabNotebook tool lets you build reports containing waveform images and custom annotations right on the oscilloscope. You create individual Notebook Entries as you work, which are saved to a resident database. When you choose File > LabNotebook, the LabNotebook dialog opens showing all your Notebook entries. Choose which entries to export, the report file format and the output location. You can also use the LabNotebook Flashback feature to put the oscilloscope back to the exact state it was in when the Notebook Entry was saved. See the HDO6000 Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual for more information on using LabNotebook.

Temperature Dependent Calibration

The HDO6000 is calibrated at the factory prior to being shipped. This calibration is run at 23° C (± 2° C) and is valid for temperatures ± 5° C of the original calibration temperature. Within this temperature range the HDO6000 will meet all of the specifications. When the oscilloscope is used outside of this temperature range a temperature dependent calibration is recommended. There are two options for this calibration: Calibrate All or Calibrate Current Setting.

Calibrate All - All possible combinations of vertical and horizontal settings are calibrated at the current temperature. This calibration is valid for the current temperature ± 5° C. This calibration takes about 50 minutes.

Calibrate Current Setting - The oscilloscope is calibrated at the current vertical and horizontal setting. This calibration is valid for this setting for the current temperature ± 5° C. This calibration takes under 30 seconds.

It is recommended that the HDO6000 be calibrated when the temperature range is outside of the ± 5° C of the original calibration temperature or when it has been more than 1 month since the previous calibration.

It is recommended that the HDO6000 be warmed up for at least 20 minutes prior to use. During the HDO6000 warm-up period, the oscilloscope will automatically initiate calibrations to ensure that the HDO6000 is always calibrated.

It is required that all inputs be removed from the oscilloscope prior to performing calibration.
