Page 139 Using Spectrum View Using Spectrum View Spectrum View provides a time domain view of the frequency components of a signal. Spectrum View concepts Typical oscilloscope displays show electrical signals as a graph of time on the x-axis versus amplitude on the y-axis (time domain). A spectrum trace shows the same electrical signals as a graph of frequency on the x-axis versus amplitude on the y-axis (frequency domain).
Page 140 Using Spectrum View FFT and Spectrum View Most modern oscilloscopes provide a Math FFT function to display the frequency-domain spectrum of a signal. The typical approach to creating an FFT is to use the same data acquisition used for the time-domain waveform (1), process it through an FFT, and display that data in a separate area or window (2).
Page 141 Using Spectrum View The Spectrum View feature in 4/5/6 Series instruments solves this problem by using a separate hardware path in the acquisition engine of each channel to acquire the frequency-domain data in parallel with the time-domain data. This frequency-domain data is processed, transformed, and displayed in a separate Spectrum View window (3) that is optimized to display and adjust spectrum traces independently of the time-domain waveform.
Page 142 Using Spectrum View This trace provides three different ways to calculate and present RF magnitude: • Linear Power: Direct use of linear power • Linear Amplitude: Square root of the linear power values • Log Power (dB) Frequency Vs. Time The Frequency Vs.
Page 143 Using Spectrum View This trace can help characterize phase modulation and phase drift.

Page 147 Using Spectrum View The Spectrum Time width (amount of the acquisition record) is determined by the FFT Window factor divided by Resolution Bandwidth (RBW). Changing the FFT window type and/or the RBW parameters changes the Spectrum time width. The Spectrum Time position can be moved through the time domain acquisition using a variety of methods including tapping and dragging it, using the Wave Inspector Pan knob, or with the Spectrum Time position control in the Spectrum configuration menu.

Page 643 Waveform acquisition Waveform acquisition Acquisition concepts The Acquisition system sets which data points are used to acquire waveforms. Acquisition hardware Before a signal is displayed, it must pass through the input channel where it is scaled and digitized. Each channel has a dedicated input amplifier and digitizer.
Page 644 Waveform acquisition position is 50 percent, then the trigger point is in the middle of the waveform record. When horizontal delay is on, the time from the trigger point to the horizontal reference is the horizontal delay. Interpolation Your instrument can interpolate between the samples it acquires when it does not have all of the actual samples it needs to fill the waveform record.
Page 645 Waveform acquisition Acquisition mode Envelope mode finds the highest and lowest record points over many acquisitions. Envelope uses Peak Detect for each individual acquisition. Average mode calculates the average value for each record point over many acquisitions. Average uses Sample mode for each individual acquisition.
Page 646 Waveform acquisition Each frame can be viewed individually and you can scroll through them by selecting frame numbers with a mouse, virtual keypad or the multi-purpose knob on the instrument’s main console. When a particular frame of interest is identified, you can use the instrument’s features to characterize, measure, zoom and analyze the waveform in detail.
Page 647 Waveform acquisition Scaling and positioning The scaling and positioning controls determine the portion of the input signal received by the acquisition system. Set the vertical scaling, positioning, and DC offsets to display the features of interest on your waveform and to avoid clipping. Each waveform Slice or Graticule contains ten major divisions.
Page 648 Waveform acquisition Note: Amplitude-related automatic measurements (for example, peak-to-peak and RMS) will be accurate for vertical windows if the waveform is not clipped (that is, the waveforms are acquired). But if signal amplitude were to extend outside the vertical acquisition window, the data acquired is clipped. Clipped data causes inaccurate results if used in amplitude-related automatic measurements.
Page 649 Triggering concepts Triggering concepts User selected trigger conditions are used to capture waveforms for measurement and analysis. The next figure shows how triggers fit into the overall instrument operation. Trigger helps you to capture meaningful waveforms to display on screen. This instrument has simple edge triggers as well as a variety of advanced triggers.
Page 650 Triggering concepts You can set the instrument to trigger on a parallel bus when the instrument detects a match to the bus pattern, or when the instrument detects that the value on the bus is < or > the value of the bus pattern. The pattern can be in Binary or Hex format. You can set the instrument to trigger on an SPI bus when the instrument detects an SS Active bus cycle or Data.
Page 651 Triggering concepts Runt trigger concepts A runt trigger occurs when the instrument detects a short pulse that crosses one threshold but fails to cross a second threshold before recrossing the first. • You can set the instrument to detect any positive or negative runt pulse, or only those wider than a specified minimum width. •...
Page 652 Triggering concepts The setup/hold violation zone spans the clocking edge as shown above. The instrument detects and triggers on data that does not become stable long enough before the clock (setup time violation) or that does not stay stable long enough after the clock (hold time violation). Timeout trigger concepts A timeout trigger occurs when the instrument does not detect an expected pulse transition within a user specified period of time, such as when a signal gets stuck either high or low.
Page 653 Triggering concepts Moving visual trigger areas To move a visual trigger area, just touch and drag the area to a new position. When dragging a visual trigger area while in Stacked or Overlay display mode, the area source remains the same. When dragging a visual trigger area while in Stacked display mode, you cannot drag a visual trigger area from one waveform slice to another.
Page 654 Triggering concepts A digital pulse train is a good example of a complex waveform. Each pulse looks like any other, so many possible trigger points exist. Not all of these will result in the same display. The holdoff period allows the instrument to trigger on the correct edge, resulting in a stable display.
Page 655 Triggering concepts Trigger slope and level The slope control determines whether the instrument finds the trigger point on the rising or the falling edge of a signal. The level control determines where on that edge the trigger point occurs. See the next figure. Learn about trigger position Trigger sources The trigger source provides the signal that triggers acquisition.
Page 656 Triggering concepts Window: Use the Window trigger to trigger when the input signal is enters or leaves a window set by two threshold levels. You can further qualify the trigger event in terms of time by using the Trigger When controls, or by using the logical state of other channels by using the Logic Qualification control.
Page 657 Waveform display concepts Waveform display concepts This instrument includes a flexible, customizable display that lets you control how waveforms appear. The figure shows how the display features fit into the overall instrument operation. The display shows analog, digital, math, reference, and bus waveforms. The waveforms include channel markers, individual waveform graticule readings, and trigger source and level indicators.
Page 658 Waveform display concepts Waveform preview mode The waveform preview attempts to show what the next acquisition will look like when the acquisition is delayed due to slow triggers or long acquisition duration, or when the acquisitions have stopped. Waveform preview recalculates math waveforms, but does not represent changes in trigger levels, trigger modes, or different acquisition modes.
Page 659 Measurement concepts Measurement concepts Blackman-Harris FFT window concepts FFT windows have various resolution bandwidths and scallop losses (see the figure below). Choose the one that best allows you to view the signal characteristics you are interested in. The Blackman-Harris window has a low amount of energy leakage compared to the other windows. Its best use is for single frequency signals to look for higher order harmonics.
Page 660 Measurement concepts Nyquist frequency The highest frequency that any digital oscilloscope can measure without errors is one-half of the sample rate. This frequency is called the Nyquist frequency. The FFT waveform displays the input signal frequency components from DC (0 Hz) to the Nyquist frequency. FFT and aliasing Aliasing occurs when the input frequency of a signal is greater than one half of the sampling frequency (the sample rate).
Page 661 Measurement concepts Gaussian window This is the default window function (see the next figure). It is unique in that the time-domain shape of an exponential Gaussian function transforms into a Gaussian exponential shape in the frequency domain. Note: This window provides optimal localization in both the time and the frequency domain. Guidelines for working with math waveforms Use the following guidelines when working with math waveforms: •...
Page 662 Measurement concepts Hamming window This window is unique in that the time domain shape does not taper all the way to zero at the ends. This makes it a good choice if you wanted to process the real and imaginary parts of the spectrum off line and inverse transform it back to the time domain. Because the data does not taper to zero, you can remove the effect of the window function from the result.

By combining and transforming source waveforms and other data into math waveforms, you can derive the data view that your application requires. Create math waveforms that result from: •...
Page 664 Measurement concepts Predefined expressions are accessible using the FFT or Basic Math Types. The following syntax describes the valid math expressions you can use with the Equation Editor for the Advanced Math Type: A math expression is composed of settings, functions, scalars and sources. Settings have the syntax [settingName=settingValue] and are generally applied to measurements.
Page 665 Measurement concepts • Use vertical position and vertical offset to position your source waveform. The vertical position and offset will not affect your derivative waveform unless you position the source waveform off screen so that it is clipped. Measurement variables By knowing how the instrument makes calculations, you may better understand how to use your instrument and how to interpret your results.
Page 666 Measurement concepts 3. The level with the most points in the upper histogram is the Top value, and the level with the most points in the lower histogram is the Base value. If Mid gives the largest peak value within the histogram, the oscilloscope returns the Mid value for both Top and Base (this is probably a very low amplitude waveform).
Page 667 Measurement concepts The instrument calculates these values as follows: 1. Find the first Mid reference edge in the waveform record or the gated region. This is Edge1. 2. Continuing from Edge1, find the next Mid reference edge in the waveform record (or the gated region) of the opposite direction of Edge1.
Page 668 Measurement concepts Tek-Exponential window In the time domain, it is not a symmetrical bell shape as is the case with the other windows. Instead, it is exponential with a peak at the 20% position of the time domain gate. The frequency domain shape is triangular. Note: Use this window for impulse-response testing where the 20% position is the zero phase reference point.
Page 669 Measurement concepts LPF are used to remove background and high frequency noise. High-Pass Filter (HPF) A high-pass filter passes all the frequencies above the specified cutoff frequency. It rejects all the frequencies below the cutoff. HPF can be used to remove DC and low-frequency components. Both LPF and HPF are commonly used in HSS (High Speed Serial) and data communication applications.
Page 670 Measurement concepts Band-Stop Filter (BSF) A band-stop filter passes all frequencies except a configured frequency band between lower and upper cut off frequencies. BSF filters are extensively used in Medical electronic systems. All-Pass Filter The All-pass filter is whose amplitude is constant and passes all frequencies between DC to Fs /2. Enter the delay in seconds which introduces appropriate delay on the filtered output MATH waveform which is equivalent to phase shift in the frequency domain.
Page 671 Measurement concepts The standard deviation is a user input that defines the Gaussian window width. Hilbert The ideal Hilbert transform filter has a gain of 1 dB at all frequencies and shifts the phase of all frequencies by 90 degrees. Hilbert filter can be used to create quadrature signals over a wide frequency range.
Page 672 Measurement concepts Differentiator The ideal differentiator is a high pass filter that shifts phase by 90 degrees. Its frequency response would be linear all the way from DC to Fs/2. Note: Displays magnitude response plot for Differentiator filters. If the REF waveform sample rate does not match with Scope horizontal sample rate, then the user must change the oscilloscope sample rate to match with the REF sample rate.
Page 673 Measurement concepts As the filter order is increased, the passband and stop-band performance improve, with the transition from passband to stop-band becoming sharper. The Butterworth method is best suited for design problems that focus on controlling passband and stop-band ripple. This filter is used in electrophysiology and also a good choice for DC measurement applications.
Page 674 Measurement concepts The application computes and displays plots of magnitude, phase, impulse, and step responses. Note: Chebyshev II filter considers stop-band attenuation value to design the filter. The passband gain is measured above the stop-band attenuation. Elliptical Elliptical filters have passband and stop-band ripple and the sharpest roll-off near the cutoff frequency. This type of filter contains ripple behavior in both the passband and stop-band.
Page 675 Measurement concepts Bessel Thompson can be used in some RF and in particular audio applications where the preservation of the wave shape and phase of components within a signal are important. These filters are used in applications where a constant group delay is critical, such as in analog video signal processing. Raised Cosine (RC) and Root Raised Cosine (RRC) filters Raised Cosine and RRC filters are low-pass filters.
Page 676 Measurement concepts utilized. Samples per symbol is the product of current sample rate of oscilloscope and symbol duration. Since the sample rate is inherently a configuration of filter, the filter response changes for different sample rate. The UDF designs just for the current oscilloscope sample rate. The filter order is computed as Symbols x Symbol Duration x Sample Rate.
Page 677 Measurement concepts As impulse response starts, looking closer to a sinc response, the rate of magnitude transition increases rapidly to an extent where gain of output waveform start decreasing and also ripples in output waveform increases. It is advised to decrease the sample rate and symbols configuration in such situations.
Page 678 Measurement concepts Key filter parameters • A filter's response to different frequencies is characterized as passband, transition band, or stop-band. • Passband response is the filter's effect on frequency components that are passed through (mostly) unchanged. • Stop-band response: Band of frequencies that are highly attenuated post filtering. •...

Page 735 Measurement algorithms Reverse Recovery Analysis Algorithms Reverse recovery time (Trr) is time interval between the instant when the current passes through zero when changing from the forward direction to the reverse direction and the instant when extrapolated reverse current between A and B points reaches zero. The Trr is comprised of two time intervals t and t when rectifiers respond with their own peak reverse recovery current Irr as shown in...
Page 736 Measurement algorithms Irrm Reverse recovery current (Irrm) is the maximum reverse current that occurs during the reverse recovery time interval. Diode d/dt Diode d/dt measures the rate of change of voltage or current (slew rate) during the specified start and stop integration levels. Diode d/dt can be measured during rising or falling edge.
Page 737 Measurement algorithms Figure 45: Waveform during turn off time Vpeak Voltage peak is the maximum voltage peak value in the power device during turn off condition of collector current or drain current pulse. Usually, the voltage peak is measured in Eoff region. Ipeak Current peak is the maximum current peak value in the power device during turn on condition of a collector current or drain current pulse.
Page 738 Measurement algorithms Turn off delay time for an IGBT is the time interval between 90% of the decreasing Vge to 90% of decreasing Ic during turn off condition or specified levels. Rise time for a MOSFET is the time interval between 90% and 10% of the Vds during turn on condition or specified levels. Rise time for an IGBT is the time interval between 10% and 90% of the Ic during turn on condition or specified levels.
Page 739 Measurement algorithms (stop region). The start and stop levels are determined within the start and stop region respectively. They are found using Top and Base measurement respectively, which are derived from reference level settings. For Switching Timing Analysis, Automatic Level Determination algorithm finds the start and stop region. In case the required start level is not found in start region, search region gets expanded to stop region and vice versa.
