    Installation (overvoltage) Category Definitions Installation (overvoltage) category I refers to signal level which is applicable to equipment measurement terminals connected to the source circuit. In these terminals, precautions are done to limit the transient voltage to the corresponding low level. Installation (overvoltage) category II refers to the local power distribution level which is applicable to equipment connected to the AC line (AC power).

  • Page 56: Overview

    SHS800X User Manual Overview 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 than twice the maximum frequency f...

  • Page 57: Bandwidth And Sample Rate

    SHS800XUser Manual Waveform Confusion: when the sample rate is lower than twice the actual signal frequency (Nyquist Frequency), the waveform frequency reconstructed from the sample data is lower than the actual signal frequency. The most common aliasing is the jitter on fast edge. Waveform Leakage: when the sample rate is too low, the waveform reconstructed from the sample data cannot reflect all the actual signal information.
  • Page 58 SHS800X User Manual In fact, digital signals have frequency components above the fundamental frequency (a square wave is composed of a sine wave of the fundamental frequency and numerous odd harmonics), and generally, for oscilloscopes with a bandwidth of 500 MHz and below, the system has a Gaussian frequency response.

  • Page 59: Memory Depth

    SHS800X User Manual Memory Depth Memory depth refers to the number of waveform points that the oscilloscope can store in a single trigger sample and it reflects the storage ability of the sample memory. Press the Acquire button on the front panel; press the Mem Depth softkey and then turn the Universal Knob to select the desired value and push down the knob to confirm.

  • Page 60: Sampling Mode

    SHS800X User Manual Sampling Mode The oscilloscope only supports real-time sampling. In this mode, the oscilloscope samples and displays waveform within a trigger event. The maximum real-time sample rate is 1GSa/s. Press the Run/Stop button to stop the sample, and the oscilloscope will hold the last display.

  • Page 61: Interpolation Method

    SHS800X User Manual 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: Peak Detect

    SHS800X User Manual Peak Detect In this mode, the oscilloscope acquires the maximum and minimum values of the signal within the sample interval to get the signal's envelope 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 66: Average

    SHS800X User Manual Figure 20 Pulse With 0.1% Duty, Peak Detect Mode 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 and the higher the vertical resolution will be.

  • Page 68: Eres

    SHS800X User Manual ERES 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. ERES mode is generally used when the sample rate of the digital converter is higher than the storage rate of the acquisition memory.

  • Page 80: Trigger Holdoff

    SHS800X User Manual 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.

  • Page 81: Noise Rejection

    SHS800X User Manual 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.
