Page 29: Taking Floating Measurements
Getting Started Taking Floating Measurements For taking ﬂoating measurements, the oscilloscope channel and Ext Trig inputs (3 MΩ ) are isolated from the oscilloscope chassis and from each other. This allows independent ﬂoating measurements with channel 1, channel 2, and Ext Trig (and with channel 3 and channel 4 on four channel models).
Page 30 WARNING. To avoid an electric shock, do not use probes that require a ground connection, such as the Tektronix P5200A High Voltage Differential Probe, with the TPS2000B series oscilloscopes. The P5200A High Voltage Differential Probe requires an oscilloscope with grounded inputs and the TPS2000B series oscilloscopes have ﬂoating inputs (isolated inputs).

Page 53: Understanding Oscilloscope Functions
Understanding Oscilloscope Functions This chapter contains general information that you need to understand before you use an oscilloscope. To use your oscilloscope effectively, you need to learn about the following functions: Setting up the oscilloscope Triggering Acquiring signals (waveforms) Scaling and positioning waveforms Measuring waveforms The next ﬁgure shows a block diagram of the various functions of the oscilloscope and their relationships to each other.
Page 54: Triggering
Understanding Oscilloscope Functions Saving a Setup The oscilloscope saves the current setup if you wait ﬁve seconds after the last change before you power off the oscilloscope. The oscilloscope recalls this setup the next time you apply power. You can use the Save/Recall Menu to save up to ten different setups. You can also save setups to the CompactFlash card.
Page 55 Understanding Oscilloscope Functions 4. Continues to acquire data until the waveform record is full. 5. Displays the newly-acquired waveform. NOTE. For Edge and Pulse triggers, the oscilloscope counts the rate at which trigger events occur to determine trigger frequency. The oscilloscope displays the frequency in the lower right corner of the screen.
Page 56: Acquiring Signals
Understanding Oscilloscope Functions Rising edge Falling edge Trigger level can be adjusted vertically Trigger can be rising or falling Acquiring Signals When you acquire a signal, the oscilloscope converts it into a digital form and displays a waveform. The acquisition mode deﬁnes how the signal is digitized, and the time base setting affects the time span and level of detail in the acquisition.
Page 57: Scaling And Positioning Waveforms
Understanding Oscilloscope Functions Scaling and Positioning Waveforms You can change the display of waveforms by adjusting the scale and position. When you change the scale, the waveform display will increase or decrease in size. When you change the position, the waveform will move up, down, right, or left. The channel indicator (located on the left of the graticule) identiﬁes each waveform on the display.
Page 58 Understanding Oscilloscope Functions the oscilloscope displays a waveform with a frequency lower than the actual input waveform, or triggers and displays an unstable waveform. Actual high-frequency waveform Apparent low-frequency waveform due to aliasing Sample points The oscilloscope accurately represents signals, but is limited by the probe bandwidth, the oscilloscope bandwidth, and the sample rate.
Page 59 Understanding Oscilloscope Functions If the signal you are viewing is also the trigger source, use the graticule or the cursors to estimate the frequency of the displayed waveform. Compare this to the Trigger Frequency readout in the lower right corner of the screen. If they differ by a large amount, you may have aliasing.

Page 87: Math Fft
Math FFT This chapter contains detailed information on how to use the Math FFT (Fast Fourier Transform). You can use the FFT Math mode to convert a time-domain (YT) signal into its frequency components (spectrum). You can use the Math FFT mode for the following types of analysis: Analyze harmonics in power lines Measure harmonic content and distortion in systems...
Page 88 Math FFT 4. Turn the Vertical Scale knob to ensure that the entire waveform remains on the screen. The oscilloscope may display erroneous FFT results (by adding high frequency components) if the entire waveform is not visible. 5. Turn the Horizontal Scale knob to provide the resolution you want in the FFT spectrum.
Page 89 Math FFT Nyquist Frequency The highest frequency that any real-time digitizing oscilloscope can measure without errors is one-half the sample rate. This frequency is called the Nyquist frequency. Frequency information above the Nyquist frequency is undersampled, which causes FFT aliasing. (See page 66, FFT Aliasing.) The math function transforms the center 2048 points of the time-domain waveform into an FFT spectrum.
Page 90: Displaying The Fft Spectrum
Math FFT Displaying the FFT Spectrum Push the Math button to display the Math Menu. Use the options to select the Source channel, Window algorithm, and FFT Zoom factor. You can display only one FFT spectrum at a time. Math FFT option Settings Comments Source...
Page 91: Selecting An Fft Window
Math FFT Selecting an FFT Window Windows reduce spectral leakage in the FFT spectrum. The FFT assumes that the YT waveform repeats forever. With an integral number of cycles (1, 2, 3, ...), the YT waveform starts and ends at the same amplitude and there are no discontinuities in the signal shape.
Page 92 Math FFT The Math FFT function includes three FFT Window options. There is a trade-off between frequency resolution and amplitude accuracy with each type of window. What you want to measure and your source signal characteristics will help you to determine which window to use.

Page 94: Magnifying And Positioning An Fft Spectrum
Math FFT Eliminating Aliases To eliminate aliases, try the following remedies: Turn the Horizontal Scale knob to set the sample rate to a faster setting. Since you increase the Nyquist frequency as you increase the sample rate, the aliased frequency components appear at their proper frequency. If too many frequency components are shown on the screen, you can use the FFT Zoom option to magnify the FFT spectrum.
Page 95: Measuring An Fft Spectrum Using Cursors
Math FFT Measuring an FFT Spectrum Using Cursors You can take two measurements on FFT spectrums: magnitude (in dB), and frequency (in Hz). Magnitude is referenced to 0 dB, where 0 dB equals 1 V You can use the cursors to take measurements at any zoom factor. To do so, follow these steps: 1.

Managing TPSBAT Battery Packs The TPSBAT Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery packs require routine maintenance and care in their use and handling. Be sure to follow the guidelines in this section to safely use TPSBAT Lithium-Ion batteries and achieve the maximum battery life span.
Page 112: Maintaining Battery Packs
Managing TPSBAT Battery Packs Maintaining Battery Packs Observe and note the run time that a new fully-charged battery provides for powering your product. You can use this new battery run time as a basis to compare run times for older batteries. The run time of your battery will vary depending on the product’s conﬁguration and the applications that you run.

Page 116: Calibrating Battery Packs
Managing TPSBAT Battery Packs Calibrating Battery Packs An uncalibrated battery pack cannot accurately report its remaining operating time. The basic idea of calibration is to cycle the battery pack from a fully charged state to a fully discharged state, and then back to a fully charged state. This is what the external charger does as part of the routine, and what the internal charge method does step-by-step.
Page 117: Handling Battery Packs
Managing TPSBAT Battery Packs Handling Battery Packs Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture a battery. Do not short the external contacts on a battery. Do not dispose of a battery in ﬁre or water. Do not expose a battery to temperatures above +60 °C (+140 °F) Keep the battery away from children.
