  • Page 58: Overview Of Sampling

    SIGLENT Overview of Sampling To understand the oscilloscope's sampling and acquisition modes, it is helpful to understand sampling theory, sample rate and oscilloscope bandwidth and sample rate. Sampling Theory The Nyquist sampling theorem states that for a limited bandwidth (band- limited) signal with maximum frequency f , the equally spaced sampling frequency f must be greater...

  • Page 59: Sample Rate

    SIGLENT Sample Rate The maximum sample rate of the oscilloscope is 2GSa/s. The actual sample rate of the oscilloscope is determined by the horizontal scale.

At this point, you can still use the vertical control and horizontal control to pan and zoom the waveform.

  • Page 63: Select Waveform Interpolation Method

    SIGLENT Select Waveform Interpolation Method Under real-time sampling, the oscilloscope acquires the discrete sample values of the waveform being displayed. In general, a waveform of dots display type is very difficult to observe. In order to increase the visibility of the signal, the digital oscilloscope usually uses the interpolation method to display a waveform.

  • Page 65: Select Acquisition Mode

    SIGLENT Select Acquisition Mode The acquisition mode is used to control how to generate waveform points from sample points. The oscilloscope provides the following acquisition mode: Normal, Peak Detect, Average and High Resolution. 1. Press the Acquire button on the front panel to enter the ACQUIRE function menu; 2.

  • Page 66: Peak Detect

    SIGLENT Peak Detect In this mode, the oscilloscope acquires the maximum and minimum values of the signal within the sample interval to get the envelope of the signal or the narrow pulse of the signal that might be lost. In this mode, signal confusion can be prevented but the noise displayed would be larger.

  • Page 67: Average

    SIGLENT Average In this mode, the oscilloscope averages the waveforms from multiple samples to reduce the random noise of the input signal and improve the vertical resolution. The greater the number of averages is, the lower the noise will be and the higher the vertical resolution will be but the slower the response of the displayed waveform to the waveform changes will The available range of averages is from 4 to 1024 and the default is 16.

  • Page 68: High Resolution

    SIGLENT Figure 18 With Random Noise, Average Mode High Resolution This mode uses a kind of ultra-sample technique to average the neighboring points of the sample waveform to reduce the random noise on the input signal and generate much smoother waveforms on the screen. This is generally used when the sample rate of the digital converter is higher than the storage rate of the acquisition memory.

  • Page 69: Change The Horizontal Format

    SIGLENT Change the Horizontal Format Press the Acquire button on the front panel; then press the XY soft key to set the XY(On) or YT(Off) mode. The default setup is YT. It is 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 70: Use Sequence Mode

    SIGLENT Use Sequence Mode Sequence is also a kind of acquisition mode, which does not display waveform during sampling process. It improves the waveform capture rate, and the maximal capture rate is more than 300,000 wfs/s. So it can capture the small probability event effectively. The oscilloscope runs and fills a memory segment for each trigger event.

  • Page 72: To Trigger The Oscilloscope

    SIGLENT To Trigger the Oscilloscope For trigger, you set certain trigger condition according to the requirement and when a waveform in the waveform stream meets this condition, the oscilloscope captures this waveform as well as the neighboring part and displays them on the screen. For digital oscilloscope, it displays waveform continuously no matter whether it is stably triggered, but only stable trigger can ensures stable display.

    SIGLENT Trigger Mode The oscilloscope’s trigger mode includes auto, normal and single. Trigger mode affects the way in which the oscilloscope searches for the trigger After the oscilloscope starts running, the oscilloscope operates by first filling the pre-trigger buffer. It starts searching for a trigger after the pre-trigger buffer is filled and continues to flow data through this buffer while it searches for the trigger.

  • Page 78: Trigger Holdoff

    SIGLENT Trigger Holdoff Trigger holdoff can be used to stably trigger the complex waveforms (such as pulse series). Holdoff time is the amount of time that the oscilloscope waits before re-arming the trigger circuitry. The oscilloscope will not trigger until the holdoff time expires. Use the holdoff to trigger on repetitive waveforms that have multiple edges (or other events) between waveform repetitions.

  • Page 79: Noise Rejection

    SIGLENT Noise Rejection Noise Reject adds additional hysteresis to the trigger circuitry. By increasing the trigger hysteresis band, you reduce the possibility of triggering on noise. However, this also decreases the trigger sensitivity so that a slightly larger signal is required to trigger the oscilloscope.
  • Page 80 SIGLENT Figure 22 Turn on the Noise Reject If the signal you are probing is noisy, you can set up the oscilloscope to reduce the noise in the trigger path and on the displayed waveform. First, stabilize the displayed waveform by removing the noise from the trigger path.

    SIGLENT Troubleshooting The commonly encountered failures and their solutions are listed below. When you encounter those problems, please solve them following the corresponding steps. If the problem remains still, please contact SIGLENT Company as soon as possible. The screen is still dark (no display) after power on: Check whether the power is correctly connected.
  • Page 213 SIGLENT The display of waveform is ladder-like: The horizontal time base might be too low. Increase the horizontal time base to increase the horizontal resolution and improve the display. If the display Type is “Vectors”, the lines between the sample points may cause ladder-like display.
