  • Page 31 BASICS Motor Drive Analyzer REFERENCE...

  • Page 32: Basics

    BASICS Motor Drive Setup The Drive Setup shortcut button immediately below the touch screen opens the Motor Drive Analysis dialog for you to begin configuring your motor drive characteristics. The current settings for AC Input, DC Bus, Drive Output, and Mechanical sensors are summarized on this dialog. Use it to navigate to the detailed setup dialogs.

  • Page 33: Numerics Table

    Numerics Table Press the Numerics shortcut button to show or hide the Numerics measurement table. If you have not yet configured measurements, it will display the Numerics dialog for you to choose the voltage, current, power (real, apparent, and reactive), phase angle/power factor, efficiency, and mechanical measurements shown on the table.

  • Page 34: Waveforms And Statistics

    BASICS Waveforms and Statistics Touch a cell of the Numerics table to create a synthesized waveform tracking the value of that motor parameter (MP) over time. This also displays the MP statistics on the Statistics table. Up to 12 synthesized waveforms may be created in this way. Use the Waveforms shortcut button to show/hide all synthesized waveforms and statistics, or to access the Waveforms + Stats dialog for you to select and modify them.

  • Page 35: Zoom And Gate

    Zoom and Gate The Zoom+Gate shortcut button creates a new zoom trace of every active source waveform, including the Sync source(s), and every synthesized waveform. All zooms now can be controlled as a single, multi-zoom group by using the front panel Horizontal knobs or the touch screen controls. When using this feature, measurements shown on the Numerics and Statistics tables are gated to the number of measurement cycles shown in the zooms.

  • Page 36: Q-Scape Multi-Tab Display Mode

    BASICS Q-Scape Multi-Tab Display Mode The Q-Scape shortcut button puts the MDA into tabbed display mode. Continue pressing the button to cycle through the various Q-Scape display modes before returning to Normal display mode (no tabs). Also use the Q-Scape soft button on the menu bar to change the display mode.

  • Page 37: Labnotebook

    LabNotebook The integrated LabNotebook tool lets you build reports containing waveform images and custom annotations right on the MDA. You create individual Notebook Entries as you work (as simple as pressing the Print button), which are saved to a Notebook in a resident database. When you press the LabNotebook shortcut button, the LabNotebook dialog opens showing all your Notebooks and Notebook Entries, where they can be further annotated and exported into different report formats.

  • Page 38: Vertical

    BASICS Vertical These controls adjust the channel trace along the Y axis. From the Front Panel Analog Traces From the Display Choose Vertical > Channel Setup. Check boxes to turn on traces. Press Channel (number) button to turn on analog trace Touch any Vertical setting to change the value.
  • Page 39 Digital Traces From the Display Choose Vertical > Digital Setup. Choose a standard Logic Family, or enter custom values for Threshold and Hysteresis. Separate controls allow you to set different values for each bank. Touch Digital tab to choose group (1-4). Choose Display Mode of digital lines, bus trace or both.

  • Page 40: Horizontal (Timebase)

    BASICS Horizontal (Timebase) These controls adjust the trace along the X axis. From the Front Panel From the Display Touch the Timebase descriptor box to open the Timebase dialog. Turn to raise or lower trigger Delay. Push to return Delay to zero. Turn to raise or lower Horizontal Scale (Time/div).

  • Page 41: History Mode

    History Mode History Mode allows you to review any acquisition saved in the MDA’s history buffer, which automatically stores all acquisition records until full. Not only can individual acquisitions be restored to the grid, you can “scroll” backward and forward through the history at varying speeds to capture details and changes in the waveforms over time.

  • Page 42: Triggers

    BASICS Triggers From the Display Touch Trigger descriptor box to open the Trigger dialog. Triggers tell the oscilloscope when to perform an acquisition. Available trigger types are described at more length in the MDA/HDO8000 Operator’s Manual. From the Front Panel Touch to choose trigger Type.

  • Page 43: Cursors

    Cursors From the Display Cursors set measurement points on a trace. There are five preset cursor types, each with a unique appearance on the display: Horizontal (Time), Horizontal + Vertical, Vertical (Amplitude), Horizontal (Frequency), and Horizontal (Event). These are described in more detail in the MDA/ HDO8000 Operator’s Manual.

  • Page 44: Measurements & Statistics

    BASICS Measurements & Statistics Measurements are waveform parameters that can be expressed as numerical values, such as amplitude or frequency (Note: these are different than the motor drive measurements). You can set up to 12 simultaneous measurements on one or more traces and view the active readout in a table. Statistical measurements can be added to the readout, along with histicons, a miniature histogram of the statistical distribution.

  • Page 45: Math

    Math Math traces display the result of applying a mathematical function (e.g., FFT) to one or more traces. One important distinction between math functions and measurement parameters is that the result of math is always another waveform trace, whereas the result of measurement is a number. Choose Math >...

  • Page 46: Zoom

    BASICS Zoom From the Display Zooms display a magnification of another trace. You can create up to 12 zooms (Z1-Z12) from any other type of trace. Draw a zoom box on a portion of a trace, then choose a zoom location (Zx). From the Front Panel Repeat on another section to open a new zoom trace.

  • Page 47: Memories (Reference Waveforms)

    Memories (Reference Waveforms) Memories are traces stored for reference. They can be recalled to the display for comparison with other traces. A memory can be zoomed or measured for better analysis of historical data. You can store up to 12 internal memories (M1-M12).

  • Page 48: Spectrum Analyzer

    BASICS Spectrum Analyzer Spectrum Analyzer 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 instrument automatically generates output in units relevant to the frequency domain.

  • Page 49: Wavescan

    WaveScan WaveScan® Search and Find enables you to search for unusual events in a single capture, or to scan for a particular event in many acquisitions over a long period of time. A predefined set of scan modes (similar to trigger setups), easily customized, enable a quick search for events of interest. The results are time stamped, tabulated, and can be selected for individual viewing.

  • Page 50: Serial Decode

    BASICS Serial Decode Optional serial data decoders apply software algorithms to extract encoded serial data information from physical layer waveforms measured on the instrument. The extracted information is displayed over the waveforms, color-coded to provide fast, intuitive understanding of the relationship between message frames and time synchronous events.

  • Page 51: Sharing Data

    Sharing Data Temperature Dependent Calibration Print/Screen Capture The MDA is calibrated at the factory prior to being shipped. This calibration is run at 23° C (± 2° C) and is valid for temperatures ± 5° C The MDA offers several ways to preserve and share data, any of which of the original calibration temperature.
