Introduction to Main Functions Introduction to Main Functions Introduction to Main Functions Trigger User’s manual chapter 6, “Triggers” There are three main categories of triggers: Edge/State triggers, Width triggers and Enhanced triggers. Trigger occurs on the edge Trigger occurs when the Trigger occurs on the Trigger occurs if the edge (rising or falling) of a trigger...

Introduction to Main Functions History Memory User’s manual Capture 11, “Displaying History Waveforms” When measuring waveforms, numerical data is being loaded into the acquisition memory, and that data can be viewed on the DL9000 screen as a waveform. When taking continuous measurements, even if you stop measurement when you see an abnormal waveform, the waveform usually scrolls off the screen by the time measurement stops, preventing you from viewing it carefully.

Introduction to Main Functions Waveform Computation User’s manual chapter 9, “Computation” The following operations are available: arithmetic (+, -, x), linear scaling, integration, phase shift, moving average(smoosing), IIR filter, edge count, and rotary count. A maximum of eight computed waveform can be displayed.
Page 16
Introduction to Main Functions Automatic Measurement of Waveform Parameters User’s manual section 10.2, “Automated Measurement of Waveform Parameters” This feature automatically measures parameters such as the maximum waveform level and frequency. It can measure 30 waveform parameters (including delay between channels) related to the voltage (vertical) axis, time (horizontal) axis, and waveform area.

When you turn ON telecom test, the accumulate display (Count mode) automatically appears. With the mask test, mask patterns created using the free software available on the Yokogawa Web site are loaded onto the DL9000, and the waveforms that pass through the mask portion are counted.
Working with the DL9000 Working with the DL9000 Working with the DL9000 This section provides an example of how you can observe a probe compensation signal being output from the DL9000 Preparing for an Observation Connecting the Power Supply User’s manual section 3.3, “Connecting the Power” Before connecting the power supply, you must read the warnings in the user’s manual listed in section 3.3, “Connecting the Power.”...

Working with the DL9000 Connecting the Probe User’s manual section 3.4, “Connecting the Probe” User’s manual section 3.5, “Compensating the Probe (Phase Correction)” Before connecting the probe, you must read the warnings in the user’s manual listed in section 3.5, “Compensating the Probe (Phase Correction).” Connect a probe to the DL9000’s measurement input terminal (CH1).
Working with the DL9000 Displaying a Waveform on the Screen This section explains how to perform convenient, basic setting initialization and autosetup when you want to display common repeating waveforms such as sine waves and square waves. Initializing Settings User’s manual section 4.4, “Initializing Settings” The procedure below restores the settings that are controlled using the front panel keys to their factory default values.
Working with the DL9000 Changing Waveform Display Conditions This section explains how to split the screen, and how to change settings such as the voltage or vertical axis sensitivity and vertical position, or the time or horizontal axis. Changing the Voltage Axis Sensitivity Setting from �00 mV/div to 200 mV/div User’s manual section �.7, “Setting the Scale”...

Working with the DL9000 Changing the Time Axis Setting from 200 µs/div to 100 ms/div User’s manual section 5.8, “Setting Time Axis (T/div)” The time axis setting is the setting for the amount of time per grid division. If you lower the speed (increase the value) of the time axis setting when in Auto or Auto Level trigger mode, the display mode changes from Update Mode (in which the displayed waveform updates) to Roll Mode (in which the waveform scroll across the screen from right to left).
Working with the DL9000 Changing Trigger Settings Trigger settings determine which waveforms of the loaded measurement signals to display, and at which times. The following are the most commonly used trigger settings. Trigger Types The three main types of triggers are edge/state triggers, width triggers, and enhanced triggers. For details, see page 12 of this guide.

Working with the DL9000 Shifting the Trigger Position to the Left by Two Divisions User’s manual section 6.2, “Setting the Trigger Position” By shifting the waveform to the left by just 2 div, the part of the waveform after the trigger (post trigger) becomes much easier to see.
Working with the DL9000 Measuring a Waveform This section explains how to use the vertical cursors to measure the voltage and period of the displayed waveform. In addition to cursor measurement, the DL9000 also has functions such as automatic measurement of waveform parameters and computation functions that are useful for taking pulse waveform and other types of measurements.
Working with the DL9000 Zooming a Waveform This section describes how to zoom a portion of the displayed waveform. You can zoom along the vertical or horizontal axes. Setting the Horizontal Axis Zoom Factor User’s manual section 8.1, “Zooming the Waveform” You can display two zoomed waveform portions of the original (normal) waveform.
Working with the DL9000 Printing and Saving a Waveform This section describes how to print out the displayed waveform on the built-in printer (when the /B5 option is installed) or save it to a storage medium. You can also print waveforms to a USB printer. And you can also save to the flash ATA card (PC card TYPE II) or the compact flash (using the PC card TYPE II adapter) using the installed PC card interface.
Page 28
Working with the DL9000 Saving Waveform Data to a Storage Medium User’s manual section 13.�, “Saving/Loading the Measurement Data” You can save the waveform data displayed on screen to a storage medium. When the waveform is saved, its vertical axis, horizontal axis, and trigger settings are also saved. During a save, the media access icon is displayed at the lower left of the screen.
