Page 49: Acquisition
Perform the signal path compensation regularly to ensure that your measurements have the highest level of accuracy. Tektronix considers it a best practice to run SPC when using the instrument to measure signals with higher sensitivity (10 mV/div and lower) settings regardless of temperature shift or time since it was last run. Failure to do so may result in the instrument not meeting warranted performance levels.
Page 50 Acquisition 2. Select Instrument Calibration. 4. If the instrument does not pass, recalibrate the instrument, or have the instrument serviced by qualiﬁed service personnel. NOTE. To always show the SPC status icon or display a warning when SPC has not been run in more than a month, click the corresponding check box.
Page 51: Setting Up Analog Signal Input
Acquisition Setting Up Analog Signal Input Use front-panel buttons to set up your instrument to acquire the signal. 1. Connect the probe to the input signal source. CAUTION. To prevent damage to the instrument, always wear an antistatic wrist strap when making connections to the instrument and observe the maximum input voltage ratings for input connectors.

Page 54: Using Autoset
Acquisition Using Autoset Use Autoset to quickly and automatically set up the instrument (acquisition, horizontal, trigger, and vertical) based on the characteristics of the input signal. Autoset makes adjustments to the signal such that the waveform displays two or three cycles with the trigger level near the midlevel.
Page 55: Probe Compensation, Calibration, And Deskew
Acquisition If you use Autoset when no channels are displayed, the instrument turns on channel one (Ch 1) and scales it. Close Autoset Undo control window by clicking the X. After Autoset Undo closes, you can still undo the last Autoset by selecting the Undo Last Autoset command from the Edit menu.
Page 56 Acquisition Interpolated Real-Time Sampling In interpolated real-time sampling, the instrument digitizes all of the points it acquires using one trigger event. If the instrument cannot acquire enough samples for a complete waveform at the maximum real-time sample rate, it interpolates. Use interpolated real-time sampling to capture single-shot or transient events.
Page 57 Acquisition Waveform Record The instrument builds the waveform record through use of the following parameters: Sample interval: The time between sample points. Record length: The number of samples required to ﬁll a waveform record. Trigger point: The zero time reference in a waveform record.
Page 58: How The Acquisition Modes Work
Acquisition How the Acquisition Modes Work Sample mode retains the ﬁrst sampled point from each acquisition interval. Sample is the default mode. Peak Detect mode uses the highest and lowest of all the samples contained in two consecutive acquisition intervals. This mode only works with real-time, noninterpolated sampling and is useful for catching high frequency glitches.
Page 59: Changing The Acquisition Mode
Acquisition Changing the Acquisition Mode Use this procedure to change the acquisition mode. 1. Select Horiz/Acq > Acquisition Mode. 2. To select an acquisition mode, do one of the following: Select an acquisition mode directly from the menu. Click Mode..., and then select an acquisition mode.
Page 60: Starting And Stopping An Acquisition
Acquisition Starting and Stopping an Acquisition After the channels that you want to acquire are selected, use the following procedure. 1. Push the front-panel RUN/STOP button to start the acquisition. 2. Push the RUN/STOP button again to stop the acquisition. 3.
Page 61 Acquisition To set the Record Length Limit, click Record Length Limit and set the limit using the buttons or keypad. The default maximum limit depends on your instrument model and record length option. In Constant Sample Rate mode you can set the Sample Rate and Scale.
Page 62 Acquisition In Manual mode you can set the Sample Rate and Record Length. Horizontal Scale is a dependent variable calculated from the sample rate and record length. Masks are not supported in manual mode. The Horizontal Scale knob changes record length in manual mode.
Page 63: Using Fastacq
Acquisition Using FastAcq Fast acquisition mode reduces the dead time between waveform acquisitions, enabling the capture and display of transient events such as glitches or runt pulses. Fast acquisition mode can also display waveform phenomena at an intensity that reﬂects their rate-of-occurrence. Use the following procedure: 1.
Page 64 Acquisition Quick Tips Digital channels and buses are not available in FastAcq mode. To optimize for capturing details or rare events, select Horiz/Acq > Horizontal/Acquisition Setup > Acquisition> Fast Acq, and then select Optimize For Capturing Details or Capturing rare events. On MSO5000 and DPO5000 Series instruments, Fast Acq mode is not available in XY or XYZ Display modes.
Page 65: Using Dsp Enhanced Bandwidth
Acquisition Using DSP Enhanced Bandwidth If your instrument has the enhanced bandwidth feature, use the DSP (digital signal processing) enhanced bandwidth for more accurate rise time measurements, to extend the bandwidth, and ﬂatten the passband at the full sample rate. The enhanced bandwidth provides a matched response across enabled channels so you can perform channel-to-channel comparison and differential measurements.
Page 66 Acquisition 3. Click Digital Filters (DSP) Enabled to turn the enhanced bandwidth on. You must set the sample rate correctly to enable DSP. 4. To force a constant sample rate that enables DSP ﬁlters, check Force Constant Sample Rate. NOTE. If not already set, selecting Constant Sample rate sets the horizontal mode to constant sample rate, sets the sample rate...

Page 80 Acquisition 3. Push FastFrame to toggle it On. 4. Select Frame Size and # of Events Frames. Then use the multipurpose knobs to set each one. Number of frames represents the number of trigger events that are captured. Frame size is the number of samples that are stored with each trigger event (or frame.) The number of frames is reduced if there...
Page 81: Using Fastframe Frame Finder
Acquisition Use FastFrame when you want to capture multiple events that have long dead times between them that are of no interest to you. Multiple frames are best viewed with the Normal, Green, or Gray color palettes because the dark blue selected frame may be hard to distinguish if you use Temp or Spectral.
Page 82 Acquisition 4. Push Start to start the search. Frame Finder searches for and displays a different frame. 5. If the anomaly you are looking for is not in the displayed frame, push No. Frame Finder searches for another different frame. 6.

Page 87: Pinpoint Triggers
Pinpoint Triggers Pinpoint Triggers The Pinpoint trigger system comes with advanced trigger types that are usable on both A and B triggers, and it can reset the trigger sequence if the B event does not occur after a speciﬁc number of events or a speciﬁc time. Pinpoint triggers support capture of events based on the most complex trigger event or sequence of trigger events.
Page 88 Pinpoint Triggers Trigger Coupling Trigger coupling determines what part of the signal is passed to the trigger circuit. Edge triggering can use all available coupling types: AC, DC, Low Frequency Rejection, High Frequency Rejection, and Noise Rejection. All other trigger types use DC coupling only.
Page 89: Choosing A Trigger Type
Pinpoint Triggers Choosing a Trigger Type Your instrument allows you to modify basic trigger parameters from the front panel or set up more advanced triggers in the Trigger Setup control window. NOTE. Some trigger type selections are not available on some instruments. 1.

Page 93: Checking Trigger Status
Pinpoint Triggers Checking Trigger Status Check the trigger status from the status lights on the front panel or from the readout. Check the ARM, READY, and TRIG’D front-panel controls to determine the trigger status. If TRIG’D is on, the instrument has recognized a valid trigger and is ﬁlling the posttrigger part of the waveform.
Page 94: Using A (Main) And B (Delayed) Triggers
Pinpoint Triggers Using A (Main) and B (Delayed) Triggers You can use the A Event (Main) trigger for simple signals or combine it with the B Event (Delayed) trigger to capture more complex signals. After the A Event occurs, the trigger system looks for the B Event before triggering and displaying the waveform.
Page 95 Pinpoint Triggers 5. Set the B trigger characteristics in the B Event (Delayed) tab. 6. Select Normal Trigger Mode and Auto Holdoff in the Mode tab. Trigger on B Event The A trigger arms the instrument. Posttrigger acquisition starts on the nth B event.
Page 96 Pinpoint Triggers B Trigger After Delay Time The A trigger arms the instrument. Posttrigger acquisition starts on the ﬁrst B edge after the trigger delay time. Triggering with Reset You can specify a condition to reset the trigger system if it occurs before the B trigger event.
