Welcome Thank you for buying a Teledyne LeCroy product. We’re certain you’ll be pleased with the detailed features unique to our instruments. This guide is intended to help you set up an HDO9000 oscilloscope and learn some basic operating procedures, so you're quickly working with waveforms.
15.4” capacitive touch screen combined with the MAUI with OneTouch Analog Channels user interface results in an unsurpassed user experience. Equipped with a 40 GS/s sample rate and an extensive toolbox, the HDO9000 ensures Memory per Channel 64 Mpts/ch 4-channel operation 128 Mpts/ch 2-channel operation uncompromised performance when debugging in high definition.

Most of the front panel controls duplicate functionality available through the touch screen display. They are covered in more detail in the Basics section and in the HDO9000 Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual. Below are some special front panel controls. A. Auto Setup turns on and configures all channels with a signal attached.
OVERVIEW Touch Screen Display The entire display is active. Use your finger to touch, drag-and-drop, swipe, pinch and flick. Many controls that display information also work as “buttons” to access other functions. If you have a mouse installed, you can click anywhere you can touch to activate a control; in fact, you can alternate between clicking and touching, whichever is convenient for you.

BASICS Vertical (Channel) Vertical controls adjust traces along the Y axis. Traces represent eight Vertical divisions of the source signal at the selected number of units per division. The zero level is at the center grid line unless you add positive or negative Offset. The front panel Volts knob also controls the Vertical Scale of zoom, math and memory traces.

HD Mode The HDO9000 with HD1024 high definition technology offers more quantitization levels and greater precision when digitizing waveforms. HD1024 allows for dynamic ADC configuration based on the number of active channels and applies bandwidth filtering when the sample rate is reduced below 10 GS/s to prevent aliasing and increase resolution.
Draw a Zoom box over a portion of the source trace. Repeat on another section to reposition the Zoom trace. The Zoom descriptor box shows the Zoom Source and Horizontal Scale, which differs from the Timebase. HDO9000 Getting Started Guide...
Triggers tell the oscilloscope when to perform an acquisition. The acquisition starts as soon as the trigger is armed and all trigger conditions are met, unless postponed by a Holdoff count of time or number of trigger events. Trigger types and modes are described at more length in the HDO9000 Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual.

Cursors set measurement points on the Vertical or Horizontal axis of a trace (or both). The five preset cursor types are described in more detail in the HDO9000 Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual. All show the absolute value where the cursor intersects the waveform and the delta of the two lines.

BASICS Math Math creates a new trace that displays the result of applying a mathematical function (e.g., Sum, Product, FFT) to one or more source traces. Operations can be chained by using one math function as a source for the other. The math trace always opens in a separate grid from the source and can be viewed along side it.

BASICS Decode The Decode front panel button opens the dialogs for configuring serial trigger and decode options. Decoders apply software algorithms to extract encoded information from physical layer waveforms measured on your oscilloscope. Waveforms are annotated to provide fast, intuitive understanding of the relationship between protocol and signal.

BASICS BASICS Spectrum Analyzer Use the Spectrum front panel button to launch Spectrum Analyzer, which lets you quickly and easily use the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for frequency analysis. The controls are the same as you would find on an RF spectrum analyzer. You set the inputs and desired frequency span, and the oscilloscope automatically generates output in units relevant to the frequency domain.
