The power analyzer's scope function is similar to a bench oscilloscope, displaying output voltage and
current signals as a function of time. It has controls that select which outputs and functions to display,
front panel knobs that adjust gain and offset, and configurable triggers and markers.
You can configure the Scope View to display voltage or current waveforms for all outputs. Power
waveforms can only be displayed on Keysight Models N676xA and N678xA SMU, as these have
simultaneous voltage and current measurement capability (see Model Differences). As explained
under Horizontal Properties, the maximum sampling rate of the scope varies, depending on the
number of waveforms that are displayed. Note that in the Scope View there is only one time-base and
trigger configuration for all outputs.
Making a Measurement
In the following measurement example, an output turn-on sequence is displayed using the
oscilloscope. The oscilloscope measures the actual voltages as the outputs turn on.
Step 1 – Program the output voltage and current values:
In Meter View, set the output voltage and currents of all four outputs of the power analyzer to 10 volts
and 1 ampere. This is described under Controlling the Outputs.
