Measurement Tips :

If the channel coupling is DC, you can measure the signal's DC%

quickly by checking the difference between the waveform and

signal ground.

In the case of AC coupling, the DC% within the signal will be

filtered. With this coupling mode you can display the AC% of the

signal with higher sensitivity.

You can adjust the VOLTS/DIV range of the vertical deflection factor

either in the coarse tune mode or fine tune mode. In COARSE TUNE

mode, the VOLTS/DIV range is 1mV/div~20V/div. Tuning is in steps of

1-2-5. In FINE TUNE mode, you can change the deflection factor

in even smaller steps within the current vertical range, so as to

continuously adjust the vertical deflection factor within the range of

1mV/div~20V/div without interruption.

Select the FFT Window

Assuming the YT waveform is constantly repeating itself, the

oscilloscope will carry out FFT conversion of time record of a limited

length. When this cycle is a whole number, the YT waveform will have

the same amplitude at the start and finish. There is no waveform

interruption. However, if the YT waveform cycle is not a whole number,

there will be different amplitudes at the start and finish, resulting in

transient interruption of high frequency at the connection point. In

frequency domain, this is known as leakage. To avoid leakage, multiply

the original waveform by one window function to set the value to 0 for

start and finish compulsively. For application of the window function,

please see the table below :

How to use FFT functions

Signals with DC quantities or DC offset will cause error or offset of

FFT waveform quantities. To reduce DC quantities, select AC

coupling. To reduce random noise and frequency aliasing resulted

by repeated or single pulse event, set the acquiring mode of your

oscilloscope to average acquisition.

Definition :

FTT recognition rate means the quotient of the sampling and math points. When math point value is fixed, the lower the sampling

rate the better FFT recognition rate you get.

Nyquist frequency : To rebuild the original waveform, at least 2f sampling rate should be used for waveform with a maximum frequency of f. This is known as Nyquist stability criterion, where f is the Nyquist frequency and 2f is the Nyquist sampling rate.

Setting the Horizontal System

The horizontal shift knob

You can move the waveform on the screen with the horizontal shift

knob. By turning it clockwise, you can shift the waveform to the left to

see more pre-trigger signals. Contrarily, turning it anticlockwise can

display more post-trigger signals.

Horizontal scaling : Adjust the main time base, i.e s/div. When time base

extension is on, you can use the horizontal scaling knob to change the

window width. For details see notes on time base extension.

shown in the above figure). Since the waveform shown in the

entire lower part corresponds to the selected zone in the upper part,

you can increase the extended time base by turning the horizontal

SCALE knob to decrease the size of the selected zone. In other

words, you can increase the multiple of waveform extension.

This mode is suitable for CH1 and CH2 only. After selecting the X-Y

display mode, the horizontal axis will display CH1 voltage, while the

In the time base extension mode, the display is divided into two zones

as shown above. The upper part displays the original waveform. You

can move this zone left and right by turning the horizontal POSITION

Caution : In the normal X-Y mode, the oscilloscope can use the

random sampling rate to acquire waveforms. To adjust sampling rate

and channel vertical range in the X-Y mode and to adjust the time

range, the omitted sampling rate is 100MS/s. Generally, lowering the

sampling rate appropriately will result in lissajous figures of better

display quality. The following functions have different effects in the X-Y

Definitions

1. Trigger source : Trigger can be obtained from various signal sources : Input channel (CH1, Ch2), external trigger (EXT), LINE.

n Input Channel : The most common trigger source is

vertical channel (choose either one). The channel selected as trigger source can operate normally whether the input is displayed or not.

n External Trigger : This type of trigger source can trigger in

a third channel while acquiring data in two other channels. For example, you can use an external clock or the signal from a circuit to be tested as the trigger source. EXT trigger source uses external trigger signals from the EXT TRIG adaptor. EXT can use the signals directly. You can use EXT within the

trigger level range of –3V and +3V.

n LINE : means the grid power source. This trigger mode is

suitable for observing signals related to the grid e.g. the correlation between lighting equipment and power source equipment to achieve stable synchronization.

3. Trigger coupling : Trigger coupling determines which

quantities of the signal are transmitted to the trigger circuit. Coupling modes are DC, AC, low frequency suppression and high frequency suppression.

n DC : Allowing all quantities to pass.

n AC : Intercepting DC quantities and attenuating signals

under 10Hz.

n Low Frequency Suppression : Intercepting DC

quantities and attenuating low frequency quantities under 80kHz.

n High Frequency Suppression : Attenuating high

frequency quantities over 80kHz.

4. Pretrigger/Delayed Trigger : Data sampled before/after

triggering.

The trigger position is typically set at the horizontal center of the

screen. In this case, you are able to view 6 divisions of pretrigger and delayed information. Turning the horizontal position of the waveform allows you to adjust the horizontal displacement of the waveform. By observing pretrigger data, you can see the waveform before trigger occurs. For example, you can detect the glitch that occurs when the circuitry starts. Observation and analysis of pretrigger data can help you identify the cause of glitch.

2. Trigger mode : Determine the action of your oscilloscope at no

trigger. This oscilloscope offers three trigger modes for selection : auto, normal and single.

Auto Trigger : The system will acquire waveform data

automatically when there is no trigger signal input. The scan baseline is shown on the display. When the trigger signal is generated, it automatically turns to trigger scan for signal synchronization.

Note : When time base of the scan range is set to 50ms/div or slower, the “Auto” mode allows no trigger signal.

n Normal Trigger : In this mode, your oscilloscope samples

waveforms only when triggering conditions are met. The system stops acquiring data and waits when there is no trigger signal. When the trigger signal is generated, trigger scan occurs.

n Single Trigger : In this mode, you only have to press the

“ Run” button once and the oscilloscope will wait for trigger. One sampling will occur and the acquired waveform will be displayed when the digital storage oscilloscope detects a trigger. Then trigger will stop.

3. Trigger coupling : Trigger coupling determines which quantities of the signal are transmitted to the trigger circuit. Coupling modes are DC, AC, low frequency suppression and high frequency suppression.

Figure 2-20 Function key for the sampling system (display)

Definitions :

Real time sampling : In this mode, the system makes full acquisition to fill the memory. Maximum real time sampling rate is 1GS/s. At a setting of 50ns or faster, the oscilloscope will automatically carry out interpolation, i.e. inserting a sampling point between other sampling points.

Equivalent sampling : This is a repeated sampling mode that allows detailed observation of repeated cyclical signals. In the equivalent sampling mode, the horizontal pixel aspect ratio is 40ps higher than the real time mode, i.e. 25GS/s equivalent.

Sampling mode : Your oscilloscope acquires signal samples at equal time intervals to reconstruct waveform.

Peak detect mode : In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope identifies the biggest and smallest values of the input signals at each sampling interval and use these values to display the waveform. In effect, the oscilloscope can acquire and display narrow pulse which would otherwise be omitted in the sampling mode. Noise seems to be more significant in this mode.

Average mode : The oscilloscope acquires several waveforms and take the average value to display the final waveform. You can use this mode to reduce random noise.
