  • Page 30: Acquisition

    Acquisition Acquisition This section contains concepts of and procedures for using the acquisition system. Setting Up Signal Input Use front-panel buttons to set up your instrument to acquire the signal. 1. Connect the probe to the input signal source. 2. Select the input channel by pushing the front-panel buttons to toggle the channels on and off.

  • Page 31: Using Default Setup

    Acquisition 3. Press Autoset. 4. Adjust the vertical position, scale, and offset using the front-panel knobs. (Push the knob to toggle between position and offset.) 5. Adjust the horizontal position and scale using the front-panel knobs. The horizontal position determines the number of pretrigger and posttrigger samples.

  • Page 32: Using Autoset

    Acquisition Using Autoset Use Autoset to quickly and automatically set up the instrument (acquisition, horizontal, trigger, and vertical) based on the characteristics of the input signal. Autoset makes adjustments to the signal such that the waveform displays two or three cycles with the trigger level near the midlevel.

  • Page 33: Acquisition Concepts

    Acquisition Calibrate active probes Deskew input channels Acquisition Concepts Acquisition Hardware Before a signal can be displayed, it must pass through the input channel where it is scaled and digitized. Each channel has a dedicated input amplifier and digitizer. Each channel produces a stream of digital data from which the instrument extracts waveform records.

  • Page 34: Waveform Record

    Acquisition Equivalent-time Sampling The instrument uses equivalent-time sampling to extend its sample rate beyond its real-time maximum sampling rate. Equivalent-time sampling is only used if Equivalent Time is selected and the time base is set to a sampling rate that is too fast to create a waveform record using real-time sampling.

  • Page 35: How The Acquisition Modes Work

    Acquisition Interpolation Your instrument can interpolate between the samples it acquires when it does not have all of the actual samples it needs to fill the waveform record. Linear interpolation computes record points between actual acquired samples by using a straight line fit. Sin(x)/x interpolation computes record points using a curve fit between the actual values acquired.

  • Page 36: Changing The Acquisition Mode

    Acquisition Changing the Acquisition Mode Use this procedure to change the acquisition mode. 1. Select Horiz/Acq > Acquisition Mode. 2. To select an acquisition mode, do one of the following: Select an acquisition mode directly from the menu. Click Mode..., and then select an acquisition mode.

  • Page 37: Starting And Stopping An Acquisition

    Acquisition Starting and Stopping an Acquisition After the channels that you want to acquire are selected, use the following procedure. 1. Press the front-panel RUN/STOP button to start the acquisition. 2. Press the RUN/STOP button again to stop the acquisition. 3.

  • Page 38: Using Roll Mode

    Acquisition Using Roll Mode Roll mode gives a display similar to a strip chart recorder for low-frequency signals. Roll mode displays acquired data points without waiting for the acquisition of a complete waveform record. 1. Select Horiz/Acq > Horizontal/Acquisition Setup..2.

  • Page 39: Pinpoint Triggers

    Pinpoint Triggers Pinpoint Triggers The Pinpoint trigger system comes with advanced trigger types that are usable on both A and B triggers, and it can reset the trigger sequence if the B event does not occur after a specific number of events or a specific time. Pinpoint triggers support capture of events based on the most complex trigger event or sequence of trigger events.

  • Page 40: Trigger Coupling

    Pinpoint Triggers Trigger Coupling Trigger coupling determines what part of the signal is passed to the trigger circuit. Edge triggering can use all available coupling types: AC, DC, Low Frequency Rejection, High Frequency Rejection, and Noise Rejection. All other trigger types use DC coupling only.

  • Page 41: Choosing A Trigger Type

    Pinpoint Triggers Choosing a Trigger Type Your instrument allows you to modify basic trigger parameters from the front panel or set up more advanced triggers in the Trigger Setup control window. 1. Push EDGE. 2. Set the source, slope and mode. To set the coupling use the Trig >...

  • Page 42: Pinpoint Trigger Selections

    Pinpoint Triggers Pinpoint Trigger Selections Trigger Type Trigger Conditions Edge Trigger on a rising or falling edge, as defined by the slope control. Coupling choices are DC, AC, LF Reject, HF Reject, and Noise Reject. Glitch Trigger on a pulse narrower (or wider) than the specified width or ignore glitches narrower (or wider) than the specified width.

  • Page 43: Checking Trigger Status

    Pinpoint Triggers Checking Trigger Status You can check the trigger status from the status lights on the front panel or from the readout. Check the ARM, READY, and TRIG’D front-panel controls to determine the trigger status. If TRIG’D is on, the instrument has recognized a valid trigger and is filling the posttrigger portion of the waveform.

  • Page 44: Using A (Main) And B (Delayed) Triggers

    Pinpoint Triggers Using A (Main) and B (Delayed) Triggers You can use the A Event (Main) trigger for simple signals or combine it with the B Event (Delayed) trigger to capture more complex signals. After the A Event occurs, the trigger system looks for the B Event before triggering and displaying the waveform.
  • Page 45 Pinpoint Triggers 5. Set the B trigger characteristics in the B Event (Delayed) tab. 6. Select Normal Trigger Mode and Holdoff in the Mode tab. Trigger on B Event The A trigger arms the instrument. Posttrigger acquisition starts on the nth B event.
  • Page 46 Pinpoint Triggers B Trigger After Delay Time The A trigger arms the instrument. Posttrigger acquisition starts on the first B edge after the trigger delay time. Triggering with Reset You can specify a condition to reset the trigger system if it occurs before the B trigger event.

  • Page 47: Sending E-Mail On Trigger

    Pinpoint Triggers Sending E-mail on Trigger You must configure e-mail on event before performing the following procedure. (See page 93, Setting Up E-mail on Event.) 1. Select Trig > A Event (Main) Trigger Setup..2. Select the Mode tab. 3. Under E-mail on Trigger, click On, and then click Setup.
