Safety Precautions

Make sure to comply with the precautions below. Not complying might result in injury or death.

WARNING

Use the Correct Power Supply

Before connecting the power cord, ensure that the source voltage matches the rated supply voltage of the DL9500/DL9700 and that it is within the maximum rated voltage of the provided power cord.

Use the Correct Power Cord and Plug

To prevent the possibility of electric shock or fire, be sure to use the power cord supplied by YOKOGAWA. The main power plug must be plugged into an outlet with a protective earth terminal. Do not invalidate this protection by using an extension cord without protective earth grounding.

Connect the Protective Grounding Terminal

Make sure to connect the protective earth to prevent electric shock before turning ON the power. The power cord that comes with the instrument is a three-pin type power cord. Connect the power cord to a properly grounded three-pin outlet.

Do Not Impair the Protective Grounding

Never cut off the internal or external protective earth wire or disconnect the wiring of the protective earth terminal. Doing so poses a potential shock hazard.

Do Not Operate with Defective Protective Grounding or Fuse

Do not operate the instrument if the protective earth or fuse might be defective. Make sure to check them before operation.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable liquids or vapors. Operation in such environments constitutes a safety hazard.

Do Not Remove Covers

The cover should be removed by YOKOGAWA’s qualified personnel only. Opening the cover is dangerous, because some areas inside the instrument have high voltages.

Ground the Instrument before Making External Connections

Securely connect the protective grounding before connecting to the item under measurement or an external control unit. If you are going to touch the circuit, make sure to turn OFF the circuit and check that no voltage is present. To prevent the possibility of electric shock or an accident, connect the ground of the probe and input connector to the ground of the item being measured.

See below for operating environment limitations.

Signal Flow

The analog signal applied to the measurement input terminal on the front panel first enters the vertical control circuit consisting of an attenuator (ATT) and pre-amplifier. At the attenuator and pre-amplifier, the amplitude of each input signal is adjusted according to the settings such as the input coupling, voltage sensitivity (scale), and offset voltage. The adjusted input signal is then passed to the cross-point switch. The signal input to the cross-point switch is passed to the A/D converter according to the interleave setting.

At the A/D converter, the received voltage levels are converted into digital values. The digital data is written to the primary memory by the primary data processing circuit at the sample rate that matches the time axis setting.

The logic signal applied to a logic signal input port on the rear panel via a logic probe is binarized using a specified threshold level and written to the primary memory by the sampler at a sample rate synchronized to the A/D converter.

If a trigger occurs, the data written in the primary memory is transferred to the acquisition memory. The data transferred to the acquisition memory is converted into waveform display data by the secondary data processing circuit, transferred to the waveform processing circuit, and stored in the display memory. The waveforms are displayed on the LCD using the data stored in the display memory.

2.2 Channels and Displayed Waveforms

There are four types of waveform that can be displayed on the DL9500/DL9700.

• Analog signal input waveform

• Computed waveform

• Reference waveform

• Logic signal input waveform The reference waveform is a waveform selected from analog signal input waveforms, computed waveforms, and analog signal input/computed waveforms that has been stored in the past. In addition, the DL9500/DL9700 has the following channels.

•

Analog signal input channels (CH1 to CH4)

• Computation channels (M1 to M4)

By assigning a waveform to each channel, the assigned waveforms can be displayed. Depending on the channel type, dif Analog signal input channels:

Computation channels:

Computed waveforms and reference waveforms

Note

If computed waveforms are assigned to the analog signal input channels, the channels are displayed as MATH5 to MATH8.

ferent waveforms can be assigned as follows. Analog signal waveforms currently being acquired and computed waveforms

Analog Signal Input Waveforms

These are measurement source waveforms applied to the analog signal input channels.

Computed Waveforms

These are waveforms computed from analog signal input waveforms or reference waveforms. Source 1 of the computing equation that can be assigned using the CH1 to CH4 menu is fixed to the input waveform of the specified analog signal input channel. When a calculation is set in the menu for channels 1 to 4, the data of the channel for which the calculation is set is the calculation value. For details of computations, see page 2-25.

Note

To use a calculated result as a source for a different calculation equation, set the calculation equation in the menu for channels 1 to 4, then use that result (one of channels 1 to 4) as the source in the separate calculation formula.

Reference Waveforms

Any of the analog signal input waveforms, other computed waveforms, and previously stored analog signal input or computed waveform can be selected and displayed. The history information for the selected waveform is also read in. It is also possible to make a separate selection from the history waveforms to display only one, or to display all of the history waveforms superimposed. History waveforms are past waveforms that are stored in the acquisition memory. For details of history waveforms, see chapter 11.

2-2

Logic Signal Input Waveforms

These are the measurement source logic signal waveforms that are applied to the logic signal input ports of the DL9500/DL9700. The input ports are located on the rear panel of the DL9500/DL9700. Logic signals cannot be used as reference waveforms. Computed waveforms can be D/A-converted. For a description of the logic signal measurement function, see section 2.5, “Displaying Logic Signals and Setting Trigger Conditions.”

The vertical sensitivity setting is used to adjust the displayed amplitude of the waveform for easy viewing of the signal (see section 2.5 for logic signals). The vertical sensitivity is set by assigning a voltage or a current value to one grid square (1 division) on the screen. By switching attenuators with different attenuation and changing the amplification of the pre-amplifier, the sensitivity changes in steps (for example, voltage sensitivity changes in steps as in 1 V/div, 2 V/div, and 5 V/div).

Note

Vertical Sensitivity Setting and Measurement Resolution To measure a voltage with high precision, the vertical sensitivity should be adjusted so that the input signal is measured with as large an amplitude as possible. The DL9500/DL9700 uses 8-bit A/D converters to sample the input signal at a resolution of 250 levels (LSB). The waveforms are displayed using 25 levels per division. Valid Data Range The output with 250 levels as described above is displayed at 25 levels per division, and therefore the effective display range is ±5 divisions from the center of the screen. However, if the vertical axis position is moved after stopping data (signal) acquisition, the valid data range also moves by the same amount.

Explanation of Functions

Vertical Position of the Waveform ►For the procedure, see section 5.3

Since the DL9500/DL9700 can display eight waveform channels, including computation channels, the waveforms are displayed superimposed, and can be difficult to read. In this case, you can change the display position of waveforms on the vertical axis (vertical position) in the range of ±4 divisions for easier viewing. The vertical sensitivity switches around the vertical position (mark).

Input Coupling ►For the procedure, see section 5.4

If you want to observe just the amplitude of an AC signal, it is best to remove the DC component from the analog signal. On the other hand, there are times when you want to check the ground level or observe the entire analog signal (both the DC and AC components). In these cases, you can change the input coupling setting. By changing the input coupling, the method used to input the analog signal to the vertical control circuit (voltage axis) is switched. The following types of input coupling are available.

AC1 MΩ

The analog signal is coupled to the attenuator of the vertical control circuit through a capacitor. This setting is used when you want to observe only the amplitude of the AC signal, eliminating the DC component from the analog signal.

DC1 MΩ

The analog signal is directly coupled to the attenuator of the vertical control circuit. Use this setting if you want to observe the entire input signal (DC component and AC component).

DC50 Ω

ThesameasforDC1MΩabove,exceptthattheinputimpedanceis50W. Care is

required, as this reduces the maximum input voltage.

GND

The analog signal is coupled to the ground not to the attenuator of the vertical control circuit. You can use this setting to check the ground level on the screen.

Probe Attenuation/Current-to-Voltage Conversion Ratio ►For the procedure, see section 5.6

Normally a probe is used in connecting the circuit being measured to the measurement input terminal. Using a probe has the following advantages.

• A

voids disturbing the voltage and current of the circuit being measured.

• Inputs the signal with no distortion.

• Expands the voltage range that the DL9500/DL9700 can measure.

The DL9500/DL9700 is supplied with 500 MHz passive probes. The supplied probe attenuates the measured voltage signal by a factor of 1/10. When using the probe, in order to read the measurement voltage correctly, the attenuation setting on the DL9500/ DL9700 must be set to match the probe attenuation. The DL9500/DL9700 automatically recognizes when the supplied 500 MHz passive probes (voltage probes) are connected, and sets the attenuation ratio to 10 : 1. In addition to the 10 : 1 setting, the DL9500/DL9700 has settings for a voltage probe of 1 : 1, 100 : 1, and 1000 : 1, and for a current probe settings of 1 A : 1 V, 10 A : 1 V, and 100 A : 1 V. When using probes, set the attenuation ratio to match that of the probe.

For the procedure to connect the logic probe for measuring logic signals, see section 3.6.

To observe an analog signal riding on top of a predetermined voltage, an offset voltage can be applied to subtract the predetermined voltage so that only the changes in the signal can be observed with higher vertical sensitivity. Usually, the offset voltage does not affect the cursor measurement values, the result of the automated measurement of waveform parameters, or the computed values. However, by setting Offset Cancel to ON (see section 5.10), you can calculate with the offset voltage subtracted from cursor measurement values, results of the automated measurement of waveform parameters, and computed values.

Explanation of Functions

Inverted Waveform Display

This inverts the waveform display about the Position value as center. The inversion applies to the display only, and does not affect the measurement value. Setting the inverted display ON/OFF does not affect waveform parameter automatic measurement values or calculations.

Bandwidth Limit ►For the procedure, see section 5.5

You can set a upper bandwidth limit on the analog signal for each channel. You can observe signals with the noise components above the specified frequency eliminated. The frequency can be selected from FULL, 200 MHz, 20 MHz, 8 MHz, 4 MHz, 2 MHz, 1 MHz, 500 kHz, 250 kHz, 125 kHz, 62.5 kHz, 32 kHz, 16 kHz, and 8 kHz.

Horizontal Axis (Time Axis)

Time Axis Setting ►For the procedure, see section 5.8

The time axis scale (T/div) is set as time per grid square (1 div). The setting range is from 500ps/div to 50s/div. Since horizontal axis display range is 10 div, the waveform display time is T/div × 10.

2.3 Vertical and Horizontal Axes

Relationship between the Specified Record Length, Time Axis Setting, Sample Rate, and Display Record Length

If you change the time axis setting with respect to the specified record length of the acquisition memory, the sample rate and display record length change. For more details about this relationship, see Appendix 1.

Time Axis Setting and Roll Mode Display

If T/div is set to a certain range (see Appendix 1), instead of the displayed waveform being updated by a trigger (update mode), the waveform is displayed in roll mode. In roll mode, as new data is captured, the oldest values are deleted from the screen, as the waveform scrolls from right to left. Thus roll mode display allows waveforms to be observed in the same way as on a pen recorder. It is useful in observing low frequency signals or signals that change slowly. It is also useful in detecting glitches (spikes in the waveform) that occur intermittently.

* Roll mode display is also used when the trigger mode is set to single. However, the displayed

waveforms stop when a trigger is activated.

2.4 Triggers

Trigger level

When set to rising ( ), the trigger is activated here (edge)

Trigger source

A trigger is a cue used to display the waveform on the screen. A trigger is activated when the specified trigger condition is met. At this point, the waveform is ready to be displayed on the screen.

Trigger Source, Trigger Slope, and Trigger Level

Trigger source

Trigger source refers to the signal that is used in checking the trigger condition.

Trigger slope

Trigger slope refers to the movement of the signal from a low level to a high level (rising edge) or from a high level to a low level (falling edge). When a slope is used as one of the trigger conditions, it is called a trigger slope.

Edge

The term “edge” is used to refer to the point at which the trigger source slope passes the trigger level (or if trigger hysteresis is set, the point at which it has passed the level by the hysteresis amount).

Trigger level

Trigger level refers to the level at which a trigger is activated when the trigger source passes the certain level. With simple triggers such as the edge trigger described later, a trigger is activated when the level of the trigger source passes through the specified trigger level.

Explanation of Functions

Trigger Type ►For the procedure, see sections 6.6 to 6.20

The DL9500/DL9700 provides three basic trigger types: “Edge/State,” “Width,” and “Enhanced.” Then by setting “Event Interval,” a trigger can be applied that is dependent on the period of a recurring trigger condition, or the time interval between two triggers.

Edge/State trigger

There are four types of Edge/State trigger, as follows.

• Edge When the trigger source passes through the specified trigger level on a rising or falling

edge, a trigger is activated. Y external trigger signal, and the commercial power supplied to the DL9500/DL9700. In the case of commercial power, a trigger is activated only on the rising edge.

and HDTV (1125/60/2) standards are supported. The horizontal sync signal can be set to any frequency, allowing a trigger to be taken from any TV signal, not necessarily one of the above standards.

• Serial

A trigger function for capturing serial pattern signals. The DL9500/DL9700 synchronizes to the selected clock signal and detects a serial

data pattern. You can specify up to 128 bits for the serial data pattern used for triggering. You can set the CS signal, which controls the period over which the data source is checked, and the latch source, which specifies the timing for comparing patterns.

Trigger Mode ►For the procedure, see section 6.1

Sets the conditions for updating the displayed waveforms. The following five trigger modes are available.

Auto Mode

If a trigger is not activated within a specified time (approximately 100 ms, referred to as the timeout time), the displayed waveforms are automatically updated.

2.4 Triggers

Explanation of Functions

Auto Level Mode

The displayed waveforms are updated in the same way as in auto mode. In the case of an Edge trigger, if the trigger is not activated when the timeout time has elapsed, the amplitude of the trigger source is detected, and the trigger level is automatically updated to the center value of the amplitude.

Normal Mode

The displayed waveforms are updated only when the trigger condition holds. The displayed waveforms are not updated if a trigger does not occur.

Single Mode

When the trigger condition holds, the displayed waveforms are updated once only, and signal acquisition is stopped. This mode is useful when you are observing a single-shot signal.

N Single Mode

The DL9500/DL9700 acquires signals to different memory areas each time the trigger condition is met for the specified number of counts. Then, the DL9500/DL9700 stops acquisition and displays the waveform of all acquired signals.

IM 701331-01E

2-13

2.4 Triggers

Trigger Position ►For the procedure, see section 6.2

After signal acquisition is started, the DL9500/DL9700 triggers on the specified trigger condition and displays the waveform of the acquired signal. When the trigger delay described in the next item is set to 0 s, the trigger position coincides with the point at which the trigger condition becomes true. By moving the trigger position on the screen, the display ratio of the signal data (“pre-” data) before the trigger point which has been captured to acquisition memory (the pre-trigger part), and data (“post-” data) after the trigger point (the post-trigger part) can be changed.

Trigger Delay ►For the procedure, see section 6.3

The DL9500/DL9700 normally displays the waveform before and after the trigger point. You can set a trigger delay so that the DL9500/DL9700 displays the waveform of the signal acquired the specified time after the trigger or the specified number of edges after the trigger. By time: First Edge after time: After the set time has elapse from the trigger occurring, delay until

detected a certain number of times.

t a delay time after the trigger occurs. The delay is from 0 to 10 s.

Trigger Hold-off ►For the procedure, see section 6.4

The trigger hold-off function temporarily stops detection of the next trigger once a trigger has been activated. This function is useful when observing a pulse train signal, such as a PCM code or when using the history memory function described later (see page 2-20) and you want to change the signal acquisition period.

Trigger Coupling ►For the procedure, see section 6.5

As with the analog signal to be measured, you can change the input coupling for the trigger source (excluding logic signals). Select the input coupling that is suitable for the trigger source signal. The following two types of input coupling are available for the trigger source signal. DC Select this setting when using the source as is with no processing of the signal. AC Select this setting when using the signal with the DC components removed for the trigger source.

HF Rejection ►For the procedure, see section 6.5

Turn HF rejection ON to eliminate high frequency components above 15 kHz or 20 MHz from the trigger source. This prevents triggers from being activated at unexpected points due to the effect of high frequency noise (excluding logic signals).

2-14

IM 701331-01E

Trigger Hysteresis ►For the procedure, see section 6.5

If there is insufficient trigger level width and noise is present in the trigger source, the trigger point fluctuates each time a trigger is activated. This causes the displayed waveforms to be unstable. Again, even with a slope of the polarity opposite to that specified, noise near the threshold value can cause the trigger to be activated. To prevent this from happening, a certain width (hysteresis) is assigned to the specified trigger level (excluding logic signals). The DL9500/DL9700 provides a selection between (wide hysteresis). When the trigger point due to noise can be reduced, giving a more stable waveform display. However, this setting can make the trigger point less precise, reducing the trigger sensitivity, so that a trigger source of low amplitude may fail to activate. With a stable signal free of noise, or a low amplitude trigger signal, set the hysteresis to

is selected, the hysteresis is increased, and fluctuation in

Window Comparator ►For the procedure, see section 6.5

This determines whether a trigger condition based on a waveform rising edge or falling edge, or High/Low, or a Qualify or State condition falls within (IN) or outside (OUT) a specified range (Window). The Window comparator can be enabled or disabled for each channel separately. The trigger condition changes according to the Window comparator setting for the channel set for a trigger source and so on. For example, if the source channel of an Edge trigger has the Window comparator enabled, the trigger can be activated according as the source channel waveform is within or outside the specified area.

The DL9500/DL9700 can display the 32-bit logic signals (16-bit on the DL9505L/ DL9510L) that it receives through the rear panel logic signal I/O port. You can set trigger conditions on the logic signals.

Displaying Logic Signals ►For the procedure, see sections 5.15 to 5.17

If you turn ON the logic signal display, the screen is divided into top and bottom halves. The logic signal area is displayed below the normal analog waveform area.

Grouping

The 32-bit (16-bit on the DL9505L/DL9510L) can be assigned to five groups.

Display Order

You can set the display order at the group level.

Display Size

You can set the vertical display size of the logic signal.

Vertical Position

You can set the vertical display position of the logic signal in the logic signal area.

Bus Display

The bus display shows logic signals that have been assigned to groups. You can select hexadecimal, or binary display.

State Display

This function acquires the status of a logic signal on the point of polarity change (edge) of a specified clock signal when displaying the input logic signal. The state is held until the next clock occurs even if the input logic signal changes.

Threshold Level ►For the procedure, see section 5.18

You can set a threshold level that detects the high or low state (polarity) of the logic signal for each logic signal input port. You can select the threshold level from CMOS (5 V), CMOS (3.3 V), CMOS (2.5 V), CMOS (1.8 V), ECL, or User (user-defined).

Adjusting the Skew ►For the procedure, see section 5.19

You can observe the signal by correcting the time offset (skew) of the logic signal with respect to another signal.

Trigger Type ►For the procedure, see sections 6.6 to 6.20

As with analog signals, triggers can be activated using the logic signal. You can specify edge trigger, edge (qualified) trigger, state trigger, pulse trigger, pulse state trigger, event cycle trigger, event delay trigger, and event sequence trigger.

Acquisition Mode ►For the procedure, see section 7.1

When storing sampled data in the acquisition memory (see “Signal Flow” in section

2.1), it is possible to perform processing on data and display waveforms based on the processed data (excluding logic signals). The following three types of data processing are available.

Normal Mode

In this mode, sampled data is stored in the acquisition memory without special processing.

Envelope Mode

In normal mode or averaging mode, the sample rate (the number of times data is acquired per second in the acquisition memory) drops if T/div is increased (see Appendix

1). However, in envelope mode, the maximum and minimum values are determined from the data sampled at 2.5 GS/s at time interval one half that of the sampling period (inverse of the sample rate) of normal mode regardless of the interleave mode setting (ON or OFF). The maximum and minimum values are stored as pairs in the acquisition memory. Envelope mode is useful when you want to avoid aliasing (see next page), since the sample rate remains high irrespective of the time axis setting. It is also useful when you want to detect glitches (narrow pulse signals) or display an envelope of a modulating signal.

Explanation of Functions

Averaging Mode

In the averaging mode, signals are acquired repeatedly to obtain the average of sampled data at the same time point (the same time in relation to the trigger point). The DL9500/ DL9700 takes the exponential or simple average of the sampled data and writes the results to the acquisition memory. The averaged data is then used to generate the display. When the trigger mode is auto mode, auto level mode, or normal mode then exponential averaging is used, and in the single mode, simple averaging. This mode is useful such as when eliminating random noise superimposed on the signal. For exponential averaging, you set the attenuation constant. For simple averaging, you set the sampling data acquisition count.

2.6 Acquisition Conditions

High Resolution Mode ►For the procedure, see section 7.2

Normally, this unit takes digital values from the 8-bit A/D converter, applies specified processing, and then stores 8-bit values in primary memory. On the other hand, the resolution of the A/D converter can be improved equivalently by placing a bandwidth limit on the analog signal. In high resolution mode, the effective number of bits per data value in the primary memory is expanded to 12 bits, and data is stored by maintaining the improved resolution through bandwidth limiting.

Record Length ►For the procedure, see section 7.3

The term record length refers to the number of data points acquired per channel in the acquisition memory. The record lengths that can be set are: 2.5 k words (2500 points),

6.25 k words, 12.5 k words, 25 k words, 62.5 k words, 125 k words, 250 k words, 625 k words, 1.25 M words, 2.5 M words, and 6.25 M words (the maximum record length that can be set varies from model to model). Basically, if you change the time axis setting, the sample rate is changed to maintain the set record length at the same value. However, in some cases the record length is changed as a result, for example, of a changed time axis setting (see Appendix 1).

Sampling Mode ►For the procedure, see sections 7.4 to 7.6

Depending on the time axis setting, you can switch the mode for sampling the analog signal (sampling mode). The time axis ranges that allow the sampling mode to be changed vary depending on the acquisition mode and other settings. For details, see Appendix 1.

Realtime sampling mode

Changing the time axis setting causes the sample rate to change. Data can be sampled at up to 5 GS/s (2.5 GS/s when interleave mode is OFF). The input signal is sampled sequentially, and the data is stored in the acquisition memory. In this mode, according to the sampling theorem*, the signal can only be correctly displayed up to a frequency which is one-half of the sample rate (samples per second, or S/s). Therefore, an appropriate sample rate for a signal is such that the frequency of the signal is comparatively lower.

* If the sample rate is relatively low compared with the input signal frequency, then higher

harmonic content of the signal will be lost. In this case, according to the Nyquist sampling theorem, the high frequency components may be transformed into low frequencies, by the process known as aliasing. By setting the mode to envelope signal acquisition, aliasing can be avoided.

2.6 Acquisition Conditions

Repetitive Sampling Mode

In repetitive sampling mode, you can set a time axis that exceeds the maximum sample rate of 5 GS/s (2.5 GS/s if the interleave mode is OFF). This excludes logic signals. In this mode, one waveform is created from several cycles of a repeating signal. This is equivalent to sampling the signal at a higher sample rate than the actual sample rate. The DL9500/DL9700 enables an apparent maximum sample rate up to 2.5 TS/s. If repetitive sampling mode is OFF and the sample rate exceeds the maximum selectable sample rate due to the relationship between the time axis and display record length, the display record length is reduced according to the time axis setting and sample rate. There are two types of repetitive sampling. One is sequential sampling in which the data is sampled by intentionally offsetting the sampling points by a certain time with respect to the trigger point. The other is random sampling in which the data that is offset randomly from the trigger point is sampled and resorted with respect to the trigger point. The DL9500/DL9700 employs random sampling which enables the signal before the trigger point (trigger position, see section 2.4) to be observed.

Interleave Mode

The sample rate in realtime sampling mode can be increased to 5 GS/s (excluding logic signals) by sampling a single signal using two A/D converters with offset phases. For the relation between the interleave mode and time axis, record length, and sample rate, see Appendix 1.

Explanation of Functions

Interpolation

The practical sample rate can be increased up to 2.5 TS/s by interpolating the actual sampled data 1000 times (2000 times during high resolution mode).

Action On Trigger ►For the procedure, see section 7.8

Conditions can be determined at the zone through which the result of the automated measurement of waveform parameters or waveform passes. If the conditions are met, a given action can be executed at the same time as the signal acquisition (excluding logic signals). The action to be carried out can be selected from a number of possibilities, including sounding an alarm, saving measurement data or a screen image, or printing a screen image, or sending E-mail. The action on trigger operation is carried out with Exec on the menu screen. It cannot be carried out with the START/STOP key. Additionally, when the action on trigger is carried out, the trigger mode becomes the normal mode.

2.6 Acquisition Conditions

GO/NO-GO Determination ►For the procedure, see sections 7.9 to 7.16

This is used as a criteria for the action-on-trigger. This function determines whether the acquired signal meets the criteria (GO) or not (NO-GO). Logic signals are excluded. The DL9500/DL9700 can transmit GO/NO-GO results through the rear panel GO/NO-GO I/O terminal. The GO/NO-GO result can be used to trigger an action-on-trigger. This feature is useful for signal testing on electronic device production lines and tracking down abnormal phenomena. The following eight GO/NO-GO types are available.

•

aveform zone on the screen

• Rectangular zone on the screen

• Polygonal zone on the screen Creating a polygon image file on a PC using the appropriate software.

• Range of a waveform parameter

• Rrange of a periodic statistics parameter

• Range of an FFT parameter

• Range of an XY waveform parameter

• Range of a telecom test item

History Memory ►For the procedure, see chapter 11

When signals are being measured, the signal stored in the acquisition memory as a result of a trigger being activated is displayed as waveforms on the DL9500/DL9700 screen, and can be viewed. When triggers are successively activated and signals are acquired, it is impossible to stop the measurement in time when an abnormal waveform appears (newer waveforms appear on the screen). Normally, abnormal waveforms in the past cannot be displayed. By using the history memory function, the past signal data (history waveforms including the current displayed waveform) stored in the acquisition memory can be displayed when signal acquisition is stopped. You can select the display mode from below.

•

Display any single waveform

Display all waveforms with a color or intensity gradation

•

• Display all waveforms with no gradation, highlighting a single specified waveform

• Displaying the simple arithmetic mean of all waveforms You can also automatically replay from the oldest waveform to the newest waveform, and vice versa. The number of waveforms N that can be acquired and held as history waveforms varies from 1 to 2000 depending on the record length setting. If the number of waveforms N that can be acquired and held is exceeded, the oldest history waveform is cleared. The waveform currently displayed on the screen (newest waveform) is counted as the 1st waveform, and up to N-1 waveforms in the past can be displayed. The following figure indicates an example when N = 1000.

2.6 Acquisition Conditions

When signal acquisition is stopped, you can search for history waveforms that meet specified conditions.

Zone Search ►For the procedure, see sections 11.2 to 11.4

You can search for history waveforms that pass or do not pass a specified search zone. There are three types of search zone, as follows.

• Waveform Zone Set a zone on the screen using a waveform.

Waveform Zooming ►For the procedure, see section 8.1

Displayed waveforms can be enlarged in both the time axis and the voltage axis directions. This function is useful when the signal acquisition time is set long and you wish to observe a particular section of the waveform closely. The zoom position can be set in grid div units. The zoom waveform can be displayed at up to two positions simultaneously (dual zoom). The display combinations of the normal waveform, zoom waveform, and analysis screen windows are as follows, with the normal waveform area identified as Main, the zoom waveform areas as Z1 and Z2, and the analysis areas as A1 and A2.

2-22

When the Main (normal waveform) and Zoom 1 or Zoom 2 waveforms are displayed simultaneously, a zoom box appears in the normal waveform area to indicate the zoom position. The center of the zoom is the center of this box. For details of display examples, see section 1.3, “Screen Displaying Zoom Waveforms.” You can select the display format of the zoom waveform area, and whether a trace is on or off, independently of the Main waveform area. When zooming in the voltage axis direction, you can select a waveform to enlarge, and set it to 1.05 to 10 times normal size. When zooming in the time axis direction, you can enlarge until there are ten data points in the zoom waveform area. You can also set a point meeting a set trigger condition as the zoom center, or automatically move the zoom center.

IM 701331-01E

Display Format ►For the procedure, see section 8.2

Splitting the Screen

The screen can be split evenly so that analog signal input waveforms and computed waveforms can be easily viewed. The screen can be divided in the following ways: Single (no split), Dual (two ways), Triad (three ways), Quad (four ways)

Waveform Assignment

You can assign channels to the divided windows.

• Auto

Waveforms whose display is turned ON are assigned in order from the top.

each window.

Display Interpolation ►For the procedure, see section 8.3

If a given size of data is not available in 10 divisions along the time axis, the data can be interpolated (pulse interpolation only for logic signals) to display the waveform.

Sine Interpolation

Interpolated data is created with the function (sin x)/x, to interpolate between two points with a sine wave. Sine interpolation is suitable for observing sine waves or similar waves.

Accumulated Display ►For the procedure, see section 7.7

The display time of old waveforms can be set longer than the waveform update period, so that newer waveforms appear overlapped (accumulated) on older waveforms. There are two modes, as follows:

• Count

The specified number of waveforms are superimposed.

By using the snapshot function, you can temporarily hold the waveform (snapshot waveform) that would be cleared when the screen is updated on the screen. The snapshot waveform is displayed in white, allowing for easy comparison against the updated waveform. The snapshot waveform can be printed as screen image data, but cannot be used for cursor measurement, automated measurement of waveform parameters, zoom, and computation functions.

Snap Clear Press the SHIFT key, then press the SNAP SHOT key, to clear the snapshot waveform.

Configuration dialog boxes are displayed translucently, so the contents underneath it can be seen.

Scale Value Display ►For the procedure, see section 5.12

IM 701331-01E

2.8 Computation

Prescaling and Rescaling ►For the procedure, see sections 9.2 to 9.7

Prescaling linearly scales the source waveform before carrying out computation. The computation uses the scaled values. Rescaling linearly scales the results of the computation.

Computed Waveform Display

By setting a computation equation for each of CH1 to CH4, and M1 to M4, a maximum of eight computed waveforms can be displayed.

Through (Linear Scaling) ►For the procedure, see section 9.2

By setting Through, linear scaling only can be carried out.

Addition, Subtraction, and Multiplication ►For the procedure, see section 9.3

Addition, subtraction, and multiplication can be applied to any of CH1 to CH4, using the input waveform of the channel itself together with the waveform of any of CH1 to CH4 and REF1 to REF4 as operands, and can be applied to M1 to M4, using any two waveforms of CH1 to CH4 and REF1 to REF4 as operands. The computation result is used as the waveform (computed waveform) for CH1 to CH4 or M1 to M4. The addition (+) and subtraction (–) functions are convenient for comparison with a reference signal, checking signal logic, or phase comparison, and multiplication (×) can be used to check the power waveform when inputting a voltage signal and current signal.

Explanation of Functions

Integration ►For the procedure, see section 9.4

This integrates the selected waveform. Taking the specified integration start point as 0, the entire region is calculated, counting up toward the newest data, and counting down toward the oldest data. For CH1 to CH4 the computation applies to the input waveform of the channel itself, and for M1 to M4 applies to any of CH1 to CH4 and REF1 to REF4.

Phase Shift ►For the procedure, see section 9.5

A waveform can be displayed phase-shifted. To advance the phase, set a positive value, and to delay the phase, set a negative value.

IIR Filter ►For the procedure, see section 9.6

High-frequency noise can be filtered out (with a low-pass filter), or low-frequency noise can be filtered out (with a high-pass filter). You can select a first-order filter or a second-order filter. When a second-order filter is selected, there is no phase delay.

Smoothing ►For the procedure, see section 9.7

A waveform can be displayed smoothed, by removing noise with a sliding average.

Edge Count ►For the procedure, see section 9.8

This counts edges of a selected waveform. Taking the specified count start point as 0, the entire region is calculated, counting up toward the newest data, and counting down toward the oldest data. For CH1 to CH4 the computation applies to the input waveform of the channel itself, and for M1 to M4 applies to any of CH1 to CH4 and REF1 to REF4.

Phase changes between phase A (Source 1) and phase B (Source 2) are counted up or down, taking a rise above a specified level as 1, and a fall below the level as 0. Taking the specified integration start point as 0, the entire region is calculated, counting up toward the newest data, and counting down toward the oldest data. For CH1 to CH4 the computation applies to the input waveform of the channel itself, and for M1 to M4 applies to any of CH1 to CH4 and REF1 to REF4.

D/A Conversion ►For the procedure, see section 9.10

D/A conversion can be performed on the logic signal for each group. The conversion result can be displayed in the M1 to M4 channels.

Scale Conversion of a Computed Waveform (Ranging) ►For the procedure, see section 9.1

When displaying a computed waveform, normally auto scaling is carried out, but manual scaling can also be selected. Auto scaling automatically determines from the computed waveform the center line level (Center) in the vertical axis direction of the screen area and the sensitivity to display the computed waveform. Manual scaling allows both Center and Sensitivity to be set as required. 1

For a voltage waveform this is a voltage value.

For a voltage waveform, this is a voltage value per 1 div.

Horizontal Cursors

Two broken lines (horizontal cursors) are displayed parallel to the horizontal axis, and the Y-axis values at the cursor positions can be measured. The level difference between cursors can also be measured. A computation formula using the cursor measurement values can also be set, and the result displayed.

Two broken lines (vertical cursors) are displayed parallel to the vertical axis, and the times from the trigger position to each vertical cursor, the time difference between the vertical cursors, and the reciprocal of the time difference can be measured. A computation formula using the cursor measurement values can also be set, and the result displayed.

H&V cursors

The horizontal cursors and vertical cursors are displayed simultaneously.

A computation formula using the cursor measurement values can also be set, and the result displayed. The VT cursor can also be applied to logic signals. The value of each group at the cursor position is displayed.

Automated measurement can be performed on various measurement parameters of the displayed waveform stored in the acquisition memory. Up to a maximum of 100,000 automatic measurement results can be saved in a file. There are 27 different measurement items. A maximum of 16 items can be displayed from the selected items for all channels together. A computation formula using the automatic measurement values can also be set, and the result displayed.

• Standarddeviation(σ)

• Count of measurement values subjected to statistics processing (Cnt)

The following three statistical processing methods are available.

• Normal Statistical Processing Statistical processing is carried out while acquiring waveforms, on the specified

number of waveforms from the most recently captured. If waveform acquisition is stopped, then restarted, the statistical processing from before stopping is continued. Carrying out a Restart in the menus resets the statistical processing up to that point. It is also possible to set the number of data values used in statistical processing.

X-Y Analysis ►For the procedure, see section 10.6

With one signal level applied to the X-axis (horizontal axis), and a second signal level applied to the Y-axis (vertical axis), the phase relationship between the two input signals can be observed. Simultaneous observation of X-Y waveforms and normal T-Y waveforms (waveform display using time axis and level) is possible. It is also possible to specify the ranges for X-Y analysis, or carry out analysis depending on the specified signal level. The X-Y analysis results can be used for cursor measurement, and also the area can be computed. For details of the computation of area, see Appendix 2, “Waveform Area Computation.” You can use the X-Y waveform display function to measure the phase angle between two sine wave signals. For example, an X-Y display of two sine waves produces a so-called Lissajous figure, from which the phase angle can be read.

This executes a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and displays the power spectrum. You can select the trace for the real part or the trace for the imaginary part. If the trace for the imaginary part is not set, the real part only is used for calculation, and negative frequencies are not displayed. You can select the time window from Rectangular, Hanning, and Flattop. The rectangular window is best suited to transient signals, such as impulse waves, which attenuate completely within the time window. The Hanning and flattop windows allow continuity of the signal by gradually attenuating the parts of the signal located near the ends of the time window down to the zero level. Hence, it is best suited to continuous signals. With the Hanning window, the frequency resolution is higher than that of the flattop window. However, the flattop window has a higher spectral level accuracy. When the waveform being analyzed is a continuous signal, select the whichever of the Hanning window and flattop window is more suitable for the application. The number of points in the FFT can be selected from 2.5 k, 6.25 k, 12.5 k, 25 k, 62.5 k, 125 k, and 250 k. The FFT range is specified in the waveform area (Main/Zoom 1/Zoom

Setting the Probe Attenuation Ratio or Voltage-Current Conversion Factor

When using a probe not supported by the probe interface connector, follow the procedure described in Section 6.6 to set the DL9500/DL9700 attenuation ratio or voltage-current conversion factor to match the probe attenuation ratio or voltage-current conversion factor. If this setting is not carried out, correct measurement values will not be displayed.

Connecting a Probe Supported by the Probe Interface Connector

• If you connect a probe* supported by the probe interface connector to the DL9500/ DL9700, the probe type is automatically recognized, and the attenuation ratio set. Power is supplied to the probe through the probe interface, and therefore it is not necessary to connect the probe power cable to the probe power terminals.

•

ou can execute automatic zero adjustment (see section 5.14) on a current probe that

is compatible with the probe interface connector.

* For a list of compatible probes, see “Optional Accessories” on page v.

Connecting FET Probe, Current Probe, Differential Probe, or Deskew Correction Signal Source

If you are using the YOKOGAWA’s FET Probes, Current Probes, Differential Probes, or Deskew Correction Signal Source, use the Probe Power (option) on the DL9500/DL9700 rear panel for the power supply. For details on the connection procedure, see the manual that comes with the respective product.

* For a list of probes and signal sources, see “Optional Accessories” on page v.

CAUTION

Do not use the Probe Power Terminal (option) on the DL9500/DL9700 rear panel for purposes other than supplying power to the FET Probe, Current Probe, Differential Probe, or Deskew Correction Signal Source. Also, be sure that the total current of the four Probe Power Terminals and the four Probe Interface Terminals does not exceed 1.2 A. Otherwise, the device connected to the Probe Power Terminals or to the DL9500/DL9700 may break.

Handling Precautions of the Probe Interface Terminals and Probe Power Terminals

If you are connecting the YOKOGAWA’s FET Probes, Current Probes, Differential Probes, or Deskew Correction Signal Source to the Probe Power Terminals (Option) on the rear panel, be sure that the total current of the four Probe Power Terminals and the four Probe Interface Terminals does not exceed 1.2 A. Otherwise, the DL9500/DL9700 operation may become unstable due to the activation of the excessive current protection circuit of the power supply.

• When using current probes (701932/701933), the number of probes is limited, depending on the measured current (the current measured by the current probes). The characteristics of measured current versus current consumption for active probes that can be connected to the DL9500/DL9700 are as follows.

• The current consumption of the FET probe (700939) and differential probe (700924, 700925, 701920, 701921, or 701922) should be calculated as a maximum of 125 mA for both negative and positive.

3.5 Compensating the Probe (Phase Correction)

Explanation

Necessity of Phase Correction of the Probe

The probe comes with its phase corrected approximately to match the input capacitance of the relevant oscilloscope. However, there is variance in the input resistance and input capacitance of each input channel of individual oscilloscopes. This results in a mismatch in the voltage divider ratio between low and high frequency signals and causes uneven frequency characterstics. There is a variable capacitor for adjusting the division ratio (trimmer) for high frequency signals on the probe. The phase is corrected by adjusting this trimmer so that even frequency characteristics are obtained. When using the probe for the first time, make sure to perform phase correction. Because the input capacitance varies on each channel, probe compensation is required when the probe is switched from one channel to another.

Phase Compensation Signal

The following square wave signal is output from the signal output terminal for probe compensation adjustment. Frequency: Approx. 1 kHz Amplitude:

Approx. 1 V

5.2 Setting the Offset Voltage

The setting of the offset voltage is effective for all the input couplings: AC1 MW, DC1 MW, DC50 W, and GND. An offset voltage can be set on analog signal input waveforms (the Select setting set to Input).

Selectable Range of Offset Voltage

Voltage Sensitivity (Probe = 1 : 1) Offset Voltage Selectable Range

2 mV/div to 50 mV/div –1.0 V to 1.0 V

0.1 V/div to 0.5 V/div –10.0 1 V/div to 5 V/div –100.0 V to 100.0 V

The resolution is 0.01 divisions. For 2 mV/div, the resolution is 0.02 mV

Vto10.0V(–5.0Vto5.0VforDC50Ω)

Resetting the Offset Value

Pressing the RESET key resets the offset value to 0 V.

Note

• If you change the probe attenuation, the offset changes proportionally to reflect the new attenuation rate.

• The offset voltage does not change, even if you change the voltage sensitivity. However, an offset voltage outside the above selectable range is set to the maximum or minimum value that could be selected for the voltage sensitivity. If the voltage sensitivity is returned to its previous value without changing the offset voltage then the offset voltage also returns to its previous value.
