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 (MSO option only), press the Dig button. Digital trace
descriptors are labeled Digital1-Digital2.
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-M2), or a trace that displays the result of a math function
applied to one or more source traces (F1-F2). 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 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 screen
into a maximum of three grids, one each for channels/memories, math
functions, and zooms. All traces of the same type appear on a single grid.
Two special grid layouts are available: XY Grid, which puts the oscilloscope in
XY mode, and XY Single Grid, which creates one XY grid and one single grid
for the rest of your traces.

Measurements & Statistics
Measurements are waveform parameters that can be expressed as numerical values, such as amplitude or frequency. You can set up-to-six
simultaneous measurements on one or more channel traces and view the active readout in a table. Statistical measurements can be added to the table
of parameter values. You can also view measurements as a histicon, a miniature histogram, or open a second grid showing the trend, a plot of the values
showing how the measurement has changed over time. Measurements gates can be used to only perform measurements on a specific portion of the
waveform.

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-two
internal memories (M1-M2). 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 two internal
memories for viewing by choosing File > Recall Waveform. Only memory
files saved with the extension .trc can be recalled.

Sharing Data
The oscilloscope can be added to a LAN via TCP/IP or directly connected
to a PC via USBTMC. Saved files can be emailed directly from the
instrument or transferred to a USB drive through any of the host USB
ports on the instrument.
LabNotebook
The integrated LabNotebook tool lets you record waveform images and
waveform files right on the oscilloscope. You create individual Notebook
Entries as you work, which are saved to Micro SD Card. When you choose
File > LabNotebook, the LabNotebook dialog opens showing all your
Notebook entries. 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 WaveSurfer 3000 Oscilloscopes Operator’s
Manual for more information on using LabNotebook.
.
Temperature Dependent Calibration
The WaveSurfer 3000 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 WaveSurfer 3000 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 120 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 WaveSurfer 3000 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 WaveSurfer 3000 be warmed up for at least
20 minutes prior to use. During the WaveSurfer 3000 warm-up period, the
specifications are not guaranteed.
It is required that all inputs be removed from the oscilloscope prior to
performing calibration.

Software Options
Software options are available to enhance the operation of a WaveSurfer
3000 oscilloscope. After activating your license key (see p.14), these
functions are added to the oscilloscope’s Analysis menu.
Multi-Instrument Options
The Mixed Signal option (WS3K-MSO) enables mixed analog and digital
input and triggering. The digital leadset is delivered with the purchase of
this option. See p.13 and p.26.
The WaveSource Waveform Generator option (WS3K-FG) provides
stimulus output of Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse, DC, Noise, and Arbitrary
waveforms. See p.36.
The Digital Voltmeter option (WS3K-DVM) activates an integrated 4-digit
digital voltmeter and 5-digit frequency counter that operates through the
same probes already attached to the oscilloscope channels. View realtime and statistical (Min, Max, Avg, Range) measurements through a
dedicated user interface display that continues even when your triggering
system is stopped. The WS3K-DVM license key can be downloaded from
teledynelecroy.com/redeem/dvm at no charge.
Serial Trigger and Decode Options
Serial trigger and decode options provide added insight when
debugging serial data standards (see table below). For the most up-todate list, go to: teledynelecroy.com/serialdata.
To access serial trigger and decode functions, press the front panel
Decode button or choose Analysis > Serial Decode from the menu bar.
Serial trigger and decoder setup differs depending on the protocol. For
