Horizontal Controls • Normal — the normal viewing mode for the oscilloscope. In the Normal time mode, signal events occurring before the trigger are plotted to the left of the trigger point ( ) and signal events after the trigger plotted to the right of the trigger point.
Page 54 Horizontal Controls Example This exercise shows a common use of the XY display mode by measuring the phase difference between two signals of the same frequency with the Lissajous method. 1 Connect a sine wave signal to channel 1, and a sine wave signal of the same frequency but out of phase to channel 2.

To turn waveforms on or off (channel or math) 1 Press an analog channel key turn the channel on or off (and to display the channel's menu).
Page 65: To Adjust The Vertical Scale
Vertical Controls To adjust the vertical scale 1 Turn the large knob above the channel key marked to set the vertical scale (volts/division) for the channel. The vertical scale knob changes the analog channel scale in a 1-2-5 step sequence (with a 1:1 probe attached) unless fine adjustment is enabled (see "To change the vertical scale knob's coarse/fine adjustment setting"...
Page 66: To Specify Channel Input Impedance
Vertical Controls If the channel is DC coupled, you can quickly measure the DC component of the signal by simply noting its distance from the ground symbol. If the channel is AC coupled, the DC component of the signal is removed, allowing you to use greater sensitivity to display the AC component of the signal.
Page 67: To Specify Bandwidth Limiting
Vertical Controls When AC coupling is selected (see "To specify channel coupling" page 65) or excessive voltage is applied to the input, the oscilloscope automatically switches to 1M Ohm mode to prevent possible damage. • 1M Ohm — is for use with many passive probes and for general-purpose measurements.
Page 68: To Invert A Waveform
Vertical Controls When Fine is turned off, turning the volts/division knob changes the channel sensitivity in a 1-2-5 step sequence. To invert a waveform 1 Press the desired channel key. 2 In the Channel Menu, press the Invert softkey to invert the selected channel. When Invert is selected, the voltage values of the displayed waveform are inverted.
Page 69: To Specify The Channel Units
Vertical Controls For some active probes (such as InfiniiMax probes), the oscilloscope can accurately calibrate its analog channels for the probe. When you connect a probe that can be calibrated, the Calibrate Probe softkey appears (and the probe attenuation softkey may change). See "To calibrate a probe"...
Page 70: To Specify The Probe Skew
Vertical Controls When specifying the attenuation factor in decibels, you can select values from -60 dB to 80 dB. If Amps is chosen as the units and a manual attenuation factor is chosen, then the units as well as the attenuation factor are displayed above the Probe softkey. To specify the probe skew When measuring time intervals in the nanoseconds (ns) range, small differences in cable length can affect the measurement.
Page 71 Vertical Controls When calibrating a differential probe, connect the positive lead to the Probe Comp terminal NOTE and the negative lead to the ground terminal. You may need to connect an alligator clip to the ground lug to allow a differential probe to span between the Probe Comp test point and ground.

Page 83: Fft Measurement
Math Waveforms FFT Measurement FFT is used to compute the fast Fourier transform using analog input channels or an arithmetic operation g(t). FFT takes the digitized time record of the specified source and transforms it to the frequency domain. When the FFT function is selected, the FFT spectrum is plotted on the oscilloscope display as magnitude in dBV versus frequency.
Page 84 Math Waveforms • Offset — lets you set your own offset for the FFT. The offset value is in dB and is represented by the center horizontal grid line of the display. See "To adjust the math waveform scale and offset" on page 75.
Page 85 Math Waveforms Scale and offset considerations NOTE If you do not manually change the FFT scale or offset settings, when you turn the horizontal scale knob, the span and center frequency settings will automatically change to allow optimum viewing of the full spectrum. If you do manually set scale or offset, turning the horizontal scale knob will not change the span or center frequency settings, allowing you see better detail around a specific frequency.

Page 87 Math Waveforms FFT Resolution NOTE The FFT resolution is the quotient of the sampling rate and the number of FFT points (f /N). With a fixed number of FFT points (up to 65,536), the lower the sampling rate, the better the resolution.
Page 88 Math Waveforms FFT Units 0 dBV is the amplitude of a 1 Vrms sinusoid. When the FFT source is channel 1 or channel 2 (or channel 3 or 4 on 4-channel models), FFT units will be displayed in dBV when channel units is set to Volts and channel impedance is set to 1 MΩ. FFT units will be displayed in dBm when channel units is set to Volts and channel impedance is set to 50Ω.
Page 89 Math Waveforms The following figure illustrates aliasing. This is the spectrum of a 990 Hz square wave, which has many harmonics. The sample rate is set to 100 kSa/s, and the oscilloscope displays the spectrum. The displayed waveform shows the components of the input signal above the Nyquist frequency to be mirrored (aliased) on the display and reflected off the right edge.

Digital channel signal fidelity: Probe impedance and grounding When using the mixed-signal oscilloscope you may encounter problems that are related to probing.
Page 118 Digital Channels Passive probe input impedance is generally specified in terms of a parallel capacitance and resistance. The resistance is the sum of the tip resistor value and the input resistance of the test instrument (see the following figure). The capacitance is the series combination of the tip compensating capacitor and the cable, plus instrument capacitance in parallel with the stray tip capacitance to ground.
Page 119: Probe Grounding
Digital Channels The impedance plots for the two models are shown in these figures. By comparing the two plots, you can see that both the series tip resistor and the cable's characteristic impedance extend the input impedance significantly. The stray tip capacitance, which is generally small (1 pF), sets the final break point on the impedance chart.
Page 120 Digital Channels V = L di dt Increasing the ground inductance (L), increasing the current (di) or decreasing the transition time (dt), will all result in increasing the voltage (V).

Page 187: Oscilloscope Rise Time
Acquisition Control Limiting oscilloscope bandwidth (f ) to 1/4 the sample rate (f reduces frequency components above the Nyquist frequency (f Figure 35 Sample Rate and Oscilloscope Bandwidth So, in practice, an oscilloscope's sample rate should be four or more times its bandwidth: f = 4f .
Page 188: Oscilloscope Bandwidth Required
Acquisition Control An oscilloscope's rise time is not the fastest edge speed that the oscilloscope can accurately measure. It is the fastest edge speed the oscilloscope can possibly produce. Oscilloscope Bandwidth Required The oscilloscope bandwidth required to accurately measure a signal is primarily determined by the signal's rise time, not the signal's frequency.
Page 189: Memory Depth And Sample Rate
Acquisition Control Memory Depth and Sample Rate The number of points of oscilloscope memory is fixed, and there is a maximum sample rate associated with oscilloscope's analog-to-digital converter; however, the actual sample rate is determined by the time of the acquisition (which is set according to the oscilloscope's horizontal time/div scale).
Page 190: Normal Acquisition Mode
Acquisition Control • Normal — at slower time/div settings, normal decimation occurs, and there is no averaging. Use this mode for most waveforms. See "Normal Acquisition Mode" on page 190. • Peak Detect — at slower time/div settings, the maximum and minimum samples in the effective sample period are stored.
Page 191 Acquisition Control Glitch or Narrow Pulse Capture A glitch is a rapid change in the waveform that is usually narrow as compared to the waveform. Peak detect mode can be used to more easily view glitches or narrow pulses. In peak detect mode, narrow glitches and sharp edges are displayed more brightly than when in Normal acquire mode, making them easier to see.

Page 193: Averaging Acquisition Mode
Acquisition Control Use the horizontal position knob ( ) to pan through the waveform to set the expanded portion of the normal window around the glitch. Averaging Acquisition Mode The Averaging mode lets you average multiple acquisitions together to reduce noise and increase vertical resolution (at all time/div settings).
