    Getting Started Manual Pre-Processing Controls Pre-Processing is meant as before Math processing. Pre-Processing controls provide the following functions for your respective channel:  Averaging - Specifically performs continuous averaging or the repeated addition, with unequal weight, of successive source waveforms. It is particularly useful for reducing noise on signals drifting very slowly in time or amplitude.

  • Page 64: Response Optimization Modes

    WavePro 7 Zi/Zi-A Oscilloscopes Note: The Cable De-Embedding checkbox is only available if you have the option. Learn more about this software option and Contact Teledyne LeCroy for Support.  Interpolation - Linear interpolation, which inserts a straight line between sample points, is best used to reconstruct straight-edged signals such as square waves.
  • Page 65 Getting Started Manual Teledyne LeCroy provides three choices for Response Optimization Mode selection. These choices combine a frequency and group delay response to optimize the oscilloscope for particular applications.  Pulse Response - A group delay compensation minimizing preshoot, this selection most resembles the response of an analog oscilloscope by controlling group delay to be slightly non-zero at the highest frequencies.

  • Page 66: Trigger

    WavePro 7 Zi/Zi-A Oscilloscopes  Flatness - Flat group delay compensation with a brick-wall frequency response. While this provides the fastest rise time, there is also a slight penalty of more preshoot and overshoot compared to Eye Diagram mode. This selection is most often used in narrow-band RF measurements where it is desired to maintain constant magnitude response over the oscilloscope passband.

  • Page 67: Trigger Types

    Getting Started Manual  SMART Triggers - sophisticated triggers that enable you to use basic or complex conditions for triggering. Use SMART Triggers for signals with rare features, like glitches.  Measurement Trigger - triggers that allow you to leverage parameter measurements as waveform trigger conditions.
  • Page 68 WavePro 7 Zi/Zi-A Oscilloscopes can specify a pulse width and voltage range, within or outside an occurring trigger. Pattern (Logic) Logic trigger enables triggering on a logical combination (pattern) of five inputs: CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, and AUX (sometimes referred to as EXT on legacy oscilloscope models).
  • Page 69 Getting Started Manual Glitch trigger is a simpler form of Width trigger. Use Glitch trigger when you want to define a fixed pulse-width time or time range only. Glitch trigger makes no provision for voltage levels or ranges. ROPOUT Used primarily in single-shot applications, and usually with a pre-trigger delay, Dropout trigger can detect lost signals.

  • Page 73: Trigger Setup

    Getting Started Manual Trigger Setup Based on your Trigger Type selection, sections of the main Trigger dialog and additional dialogs altogether vary. Most trigger types have Type, Setup, and Level selections. The following sections explain some of the standard setup configurations for different trigger types.
  • Page 74 WavePro 7 Zi/Zi-A Oscilloscopes Edge trigger works on the selected edge at the chosen level. The slope (positive or negative) is specified on the Trigger label permanently shown to the lower-right of the grid. 5. Level defines the source voltage at which the trigger circuit generates an event (a change in the input signal that satisfies the trigger conditions).

  • Page 75: Optimize For Hf

    Getting Started Manual Optimize for HF The Optimize for HF checkbox can be used on an Edge trigger to reject high or low frequencies. The checkbox is marked by default; meaning, the instrument is optimized for high-frequency waveforms. Note: If you are measuring a waveform that is 10 MHz or slower, be sure to unmark the checkbox to avoid triggering on an incorrect slope.
  • Page 76 WavePro 7 Zi/Zi-A Oscilloscopes Now, click the corresponding control and provide a value. Use holdoff to obtain a stable trigger for repetitive, composite waveforms. For example, if the number or duration of sub-signals is known you can disable them by choosing an appropriate holdoff value. Qualified triggers operate using conditions similar to holdoff.

  • Page 77: Auxiliary Input Trigger

  • Page 82: Viewing Waveforms

    In order to accomplish this while still providing the ability to view many signals at one time on the oscilloscope display Teledyne LeCroy provides multi-grid capability. This creates multiple oscilloscope grids, each with 8-bit vertical resolution, and allows many full-resolution grids (but vertically smaller in grid height) for concurrent display without affecting the vertical resolution.
