Page 52 Understanding Oscilloscope Functions Types The oscilloscope provides three types of triggers: Edge, Video, and Pulse Width. Modes You can select the Auto or the Normal trigger mode to deﬁne how the oscilloscope acquires data when it does not detect a trigger condition. (See page 122, Mode Options.) To perform a single sequence acquisition, push the SINGLE SEQ button.
Page 53: Acquiring Signals
Understanding Oscilloscope Functions Rising edge Falling edge Trigger level can be adjusted vertically Trigger can be rising or falling Acquiring Signals When you acquire a signal, the oscilloscope converts it into a digital form and displays a waveform. The acquisition mode deﬁnes how the signal is digitized, and the time base setting affects the time span and level of detail in the acquisition.
Page 54: Scaling And Positioning Waveforms
Understanding Oscilloscope Functions Time Base The oscilloscope digitizes waveforms by acquiring the value of an input signal at discrete points. The time base allows you to control how often the values are digitized. To adjust the time base to a horizontal scale that suits your purpose, use the SEC/DIV knob.
Page 55 Understanding Oscilloscope Functions For example, if you want to ﬁnd the cause of a glitch in your test circuit, you might trigger on the glitch and make the pretrigger period large enough to capture data before the glitch. You can then analyze the pretrigger data and perhaps ﬁnd the cause of the glitch.
Page 56 Understanding Oscilloscope Functions The oscilloscope maximum sample rates are at least ten times the bandwidth. These high sample rates help reduce the possibility of aliasing. There are several ways to check for aliasing: Turn the SEC/DIV knob to change the horizontal scale. If the shape of the waveform changes drastically, you may have aliasing.

Page 75: Capturing A Single-Shot Signal
Application Examples Capturing a Single-Shot Signal The reliability of a reed relay in a piece of equipment has been poor and you need to investigate the problem. You suspect that the relay contacts arc when the relay opens. The fastest that you can open and close the relay is about once per minute, so you need to capture the voltage across the relay as a single-shot acquisition.
Page 76 Application Examples Optimizing the Acquisition The initial acquisition shows the relay contact beginning to open at the trigger point. This is followed by a large spike that indicates contact bounce and inductance in the circuit. The inductance can cause contact arcing and premature relay failure.

Page 91: Math Fft
Math FFT This chapter contains detailed information on how to use the Math FFT (Fast Fourier Transform). You can use the FFT Math mode to convert a time-domain (YT) signal into its frequency components (spectrum). You can use the Math FFT mode for the following types of analysis: Analyze harmonics in power lines Measure harmonic content and distortion in systems Characterize noise in DC power supplies...
Page 92 Math FFT This ensures that the FFT will show a true DC value. Turn the HORIZONTAL POSITION knob to position the part of the YT waveform that you want to analyze in the center eight divisions of the screen. The oscilloscope calculates the FFT spectrum using the center 2048 points of the time-domain waveform.
Page 93: Displaying The Fft Spectrum
Math FFT frequency is undersampled, which causes FFT aliasing. (See page 73, FFT Aliasing.) The math function transforms the center 2048 points of the time-domain waveform into an FFT spectrum. The resulting FFT spectrum contains 1024 points that go from DC (0 Hz) to the Nyquist frequency. Normally, the display compresses the FFT spectrum horizontally into 250 points, but you can use the FFT Zoom function to expand the FFT spectrum to more clearly see the frequency components at each of the...

Page 96 Math FFT The Math FFT function includes three FFT Window options. There is a trade-off between frequency resolution and amplitude accuracy with each type of window. What you want to measure and your source signal characteristics will help you to determine which window to use. Window Measure Characteristics...
Page 97 Math FFT FFT Aliasing Problems occur when the oscilloscope acquires a time-domain waveform containing frequency components that are greater than the Nyquist frequency. (See page 68, Nyquist Frequency.) The frequency components that are above the Nyquist frequency are undersampled, appearing as lower frequency components that "fold back" around the Nyquist frequency.
Page 98: Magnifying And Positioning An Fft Spectrum
Math FFT Eliminating Aliases To eliminate aliases, try the following remedies: Turn the SEC/DIV knob to set the sample rate to a faster setting. Since you increase the Nyquist frequency as you increase the sample rate, the aliased frequency components appear at their proper frequency.
Page 99: Measuring An Fft Spectrum Using Cursors
Math FFT Vertical Zoom and Position The channel vertical knobs become vertical zoom and position controls for their respective channels when displaying the FFT spectrum. The VOLTS/DIV knob provides zoom factors of X0.5, X1 (default), X2, X5, and X10. The FFT spectrum is vertically magniﬁed about the M marker (math waveform reference point on the left edge of the screen).
Page 100 Math FFT You can also take a frequency measurement without using the cursors. To do so, turn the Horizontal Position knob to position a frequency component on the center graticule line and read the frequency at the top right of the display. TDS1000B/2000B Series Oscilloscope User Manual...

Page 118 Reference Sample acquisition intervals (2500) • Sample points Sample mode acquires a single sample point in each interval. The oscilloscope samples at the following rates: Minimum of 500 MS/s for 40 MHz models Maximum of 1 GS/s for 60 MHz or 100 MHz models Maximum of 2 GS/s for 200 MHz models At 100 ns and faster settings, this sample rate does not acquire 2500 points.
Page 119 Reference NOTE. If you set the SEC/DIV setting to 2.5 ms/div or faster, the acquisition mode changes to Sample because the sample rate is fast enough that Peak Detect is not necessary. The oscilloscope does not display a message to tell you that the mode was changed to Sample.
Page 120: Autorange
Reference Scan Mode Display. You can use the Horizontal Scan acquisition mode (also called Roll mode) to continuously monitor signals that change slowly. The oscilloscope displays waveform updates from the left to the right of the screen and erases old points as it displays new points. A moving, one-division-wide blank section of the screen separates the new waveform points from the old.
Page 121 Reference The following conditions cause autorange to adjust settings: Too many or too few waveform periods for a clear display of the trigger source (except when in Vertical Only) Waveform amplitude too large or too small (except when in Horizontal Only) Ideal trigger level changes When you push the AUTORANGE button, the oscilloscope adjusts controls to produce a usable display of the input signal.
