It contains: Oscilloscope setup Trigger Data acquisition Waveform scaling and positioning Waveform measurement Oscilloscope Setup While operating the oscilloscope, you may often use three features: Autoset, saving a setup and recalling a setup.
Tel: 886.2.2175 2930 Email: sales@salukitec.com www.salukitec.com Pulse Width Trigger can trigger normal or abnormal pulses that meet trigger conditions. Slope Trigger uses the rise and fall times on the edge of signal for triggering. Overtime Trigger happens after the edge of signal reaches the set time. ...
Tel: 886.2.2175 2930 Email: sales@salukitec.com www.salukitec.com Normal: In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope samples the signal in evenly spaced intervals to establish the waveform. This mode accurately represents signals in most time. However, it does not acquire rapid variations in the analog signal that may occur between two samples, which can result in aliasing and may cause narrow pulses to be missed.
Tel: 886.2.2175 2930 Email: sales@salukitec.com www.salukitec.com The oscilloscope shows the horizontal scale as time per division in the scale readout. Since all active waveforms use the same time base, the oscilloscope only displays one value for all the active channels. Waveform Measurement The oscilloscope displays graphs of voltage versus time and can help to measure the displayed waveform.

Tel: 886.2.2175 2930 Email: sales@salukitec.com www.salukitec.com The oscilloscope’s vertical response is a little bit larger than its bandwidth (60MHz, 70MHz, 100MHz 200MHz or 300MHz, depending on the model; or 20MHz when the Bandwidth Limit option is set to Limited). Therefore, the FFT spectrum can display valid frequency information above the oscilloscope bandwidth.
