Acquisition Modes
|
Mode |
Description |
|---|---|
|
DPO |
Captures and displays complex waveforms, random events and subtle patterns in actual signal behavior. DPOs provide 3 dimensions of signal information in real time: Amplitude, time, and the distribution of amplitude over time |
|
Peak Detect |
High-frequency and random glitch capture. Captures glitches as narrow as 1 ns (typical) using acquisition hardware at all time base settings |
|
WaveAlert® |
Monitors the incoming signals on all channels and alerts the user to any waveform that deviates from the normal waveform being acquired |
|
Sample |
Sample data only |
|
Average |
Waveform averaged, selectable from 2 to 512 |
|
Envelope |
Min-max values acquired over one or more acquisitions |
|
Single Sequence |
Use the Single Sequence button to capture a single triggered acquisition sequence at a time |
Trigger System
|
Characteristic |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Main Trigger Modes |
Auto (supports Roll Mode for 40 ms/div and slower), Normal, Single Sequence |
|
B Trigger |
Trigger after time or events |
|
Trigger After Time Range |
13.2 ns to 50 s |
|
Trigger After Events Range |
1 to 9,999,999 events |
Trigger Types
|
Trigger |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Edge |
Conventional level-driven trigger. Positive or negative slope on any channel. Coupling selections: AC, DC, Noise Reject, HF Reject, LF Reject |
|
Video |
Trigger on all lines or individual lines, odd/even or all fields on NTSC, PAL, SECAM |
|
Extended Video |
Trigger on specific lines in broadcast and non-broadcast (custom) standards and on analog HDTV formats (1080i, 1080p, 720p, 480p). Requires TDS3VID or TDS3SDI application module |
|
Pulse Width (or Glitch) |
Trigger on a pulse width <, >, =, ≠ to a selectable time limit ranging from 39.6 ns to 50 s |
|
Runt |
Trigger on a pulse that crosses one threshold but fails to cross a second threshold before crossing the first again |
|
Slew Rate |
Trigger on pulse edge rates that are either faster or slower than a set rate. Edges can be rising, falling, or either |
|
Pattern |
Specifies AND, OR, NAND, NOR when true or false for a specific time |
|
State |
Any logic state. Triggerable on rising or falling edge of a clock. Logic triggers can be used on combinations of 2 inputs (not 4) |
|
Comm |
Provides isolated pulse triggering required to perform DS1/DS3 telecommunications mask testing per ANSI T1.102 standard. Requires TDS3TMT application module |
|
Alternate |
Sequentially uses each active channel as a trigger source |
