  • Page 23: Using Maui

    Using MAUI Using MAUI MAUI, the Most Advanced User Interface, is Teledyne LeCroy's unique oscilloscope user interface. MAUI is designed for touch—all important controls for vertical, horizontal, and trigger are only one touch away. Touch Screen The touch screen is the principal viewing and control center. The entire display area is active: use your finger or a stylus to touch, drag, swipe, or draw a selection box.

  • Page 24: Menu Bar

    HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Menu Bar The top of the window contains a complete menu of functions. Making a selection here changes the dialogs displayed at the bottom of the screen. While many common operations can also be performed from the front panel or launched via the descriptor boxes, the menu bar is the best way to access dialogs for Save/Recall (File) functions, Display functions, Status, LabNotebook, Pass/Fail setup, and Utilities/Preferences setup.

  • Page 25: Grid Intensity

    Using MAUI Grid Indicators These indicators appear around or on the grid to mark important points on the display. They are matched to the color of the trace to which they apply. When multiple traces appear on the same grid, indicators refer to the foreground trace—the one that appears on top of the others.

  • Page 26: Descriptor Boxes

    HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Descriptor Boxes Trace descriptor boxes appear just beneath the grid whenever a trace is turned on. They function to: Inform—descriptors summarize the current trace settings and its activity status. Navigate—touch the descriptor box once to activate the trace, a second time to open the trace setup dialog.
  • Page 27 Using MAUI Other Trace Descriptor Boxes Similar descriptor boxes appear for math (Fx), zoom (Zx), and memory (Mx) traces. These descriptor boxes show any Horizontal scaling that differs from the signal timebase. Units will be automatically adjusted for the type of trace.

  • Page 40 HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Labeling Traces The Label function gives you the ability to add custom annotations to the trace display. Once placed, labels can be moved to new positions or hidden while remaining associated with the trace.

  • Page 41: Zooming

    Using MAUI Zooming Zooms magnify a selected region of a trace by altering the Horizontal Scale relative to the source trace. Zooms may be created in several ways, using either the front panel or the touch screen. You can adjust zooms the same as any other trace using the front panel Vertical and Horizontal knobs or the touch screen zoom factor controls.
  • Page 42 HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Zx Dialog Behind the main Zoom dialog is a separate tab for each potential zoom trace (Z1-Zx). Each Zx dialog reflects the center and scale for that zoom. Use it to adjust the zoom magnification.

  • Page 43: Creating Zooms

    Using MAUI Creating Zooms Any type of trace can be "zoomed" by creating a new zoom trace (Zx) following the procedures here. Note: On instruments with OneTouch, traces can be "zoomed" by pinching/unpinching two fingers over the trace, but this method does not create a separate zoom trace. With channel traces, pinching will alter the acquisition timebase and the scale of all traces.
  • Page 44 HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Adjust Zoom Scale The zoom's Horizontal units will differ from the signal timebase because the zoom is showing a calculated scale, not a measured level. This allows you to adjust the zoom factor using the front panel knobs or the...

  • Page 45: Print/Screen Capture

    Using MAUI Print/Screen Capture The front panel Print button captures an image of the display and outputs it according to your Print settings. It can be used to save a LabNotebook, create an image file of waveform traces, or send the display to a networked printer, etc.

  • Page 47: Acquisition

    Those with higher speed acquisition systems may need to manually adjust Bandwidth, Time/div, Sample Rate, and the number of Active Channels to achieve the optimal result. Most Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes have a Fixed Sample Rate option, which uses whatever memory is required for the acquisition time, until none remains.

  • Page 48: Viewing Status

    HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Viewing Status All instrument settings can be viewed through the various Status dialogs. These show all existing acquisition, trigger, channel, math function, measurement and parameter configurations, as well as which are currently active. Access the Status dialogs by choosing the Status option from the Vertical, Timebase, Math, or Analysis menus (e.g., Channel Status, Acquisition Status).
  • Page 49 Vertical settings for scale, offset, coupling, bandwidth, and probe attenuation Rescale settings Pre-processing settings for pre-acquisition processes such as noise filtering and interpolation. If a Teledyne LeCroy probe is connected, its Probe dialog appears to the right of the Cx dialog.
  • Page 50 On legacy HDO6000 models, Interpolate applies either Linear or (Sinx)/x interpolation to the waveform. Linear inserts a straight line between sample points and is best used to reconstruct straight-edged signals such as square waves.

    HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Timebase Timebase, also known as Horizontal, settings control the trace along the X axis. The timebase is shared by all channels. The time represented by each horizontal division of the grid, or Time/Division, is most easily adjusted using the front panel Horizontal knob.

  • Page 57: Sampling Modes

    Acquisition Real Time Sampling Rate These controls specify how the instrument samples when in Real Time mode. Maximum Sample Points is the number of samples taken per acquisition when you choose to Set Maximum Memory. It changes to show Sampling Rate, the number of samples taken per time division, when using a Fixed Sampling Rate.
  • Page 58 HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual RIS Sampling Mode RIS (Random Interleaved Sampling) allows effective sampling rates higher than the maximum single-shot sampling rate. It is available on timebases ≤ 10 ns/div. The maximum effective RIS sampling rate is achieved by making multiple single-shot acquisitions at maximum real-time sample rate.
  • Page 59 Acquisition Note: While optional, Timeout ensures that the acquisition completes in a reasonable amount of time and control is returned to the operator/controller without having to manually stop the acquisition, making it especially useful for remote control applications. 4.

  • Page 60 HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Example: You have acquired 10 segments. You choose to display segments 4 to 6—or, a total of 3 segments beginning with segment 4. The Cx descriptor box reads 10. The Zx descriptor box reads [4]3, meaning you are displaying a total of 3 segments, starting with segment 4.

  • Page 61: Clock Source Settings

    Acquisition Clock Source Settings An external reference clock, applied via the REF In/Out input, is used to synchronize the instrument's internal timebase to an external frequency source. This allows multiple instruments to lock their timebases to a common source. An external sampling clock, applied via the EXT input, replaces the internal timebase as the sampling clock.

  • Page 64: Trigger

    HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Trigger Triggers define the event around which digitized information is displayed on the grid. Different Trigger Types are used to select different events in the trigger source waveforms: edge voltages, pulse widths, high/low states, etc. These may be a single channel event or a complex pattern of events across several channels.

  • Page 65: Trigger Types

    A event, then triggers on the B event. In Normal trigger mode, it automatically resets after the B event, and re-arms upon the next matching A event. Note: This functionality is identical to Teledyne LeCroy's previous Qualify and State triggers, but presented through a different user interface.
  • Page 66 HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Smart Triggers Smart triggers allow you to apply Boolean logic conditions to the basic signal characteristics of level, slope, and polarity to determine when to trigger. Glitch triggers upon finding a pulse-width that is less than a specified time or within a specified time range.
  • Page 67 Acquisition Coupling For analog triggers, specify the type of signal Coupling at the input. DC - All the signal’s frequency components are coupled to the trigger circuit for high frequency bursts or where the use of AC coupling would shift the effective trigger level. AC - The signal is capacitively coupled.
  • Page 68 HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual In some cases, it is possible to set a range of values that satisfy the condition. The values may be In Range that is bounded by the upper/lower values or Out Range. The extent of the range can often also be specified by using a Nominal and Delta value, rather than an absolute upper and lower value.
  • Page 69 Acquisition Note: As an alternative to a pattern, you may set edge conditions on any line. Touch the Dx button and choose the edge. Edge conditions always assume a logical OR in the overall trigger criteria. As you work, the checkboxes along the bottom of the dialog will change to show the pattern. You can also use these checkboxes to make selections.
  • Page 70 HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual MultiStage Triggers MultiStage types arm on the A event, then trigger on a subsequent event. The options for the triggering event depend on the type of arming event. See Cascaded, QualFirst and Qualified. Measurement Trigger Measurement is not technically a trigger, but permits the instrument to stop and display acquisition based on a post-processing measurement result, similar to a trigger.
  • Page 71 Acquisition Qualified Trigger A Qualified trigger arms on the A event, then triggers on the B event. In Normal trigger mode, it automatically resets after the B event, and re-arms upon the next matching A event. Unlike a basic Edge or Pattern trigger with Holdoff, the A and B events can occur in different signals, allowing you to use the state of one signal to "qualify"...
  • Page 72 HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual QualFirst Trigger The QualFirst trigger, which is used in Sequence sampling mode, is set up exactly like the Qualified trigger. The only difference is that the "B" event is captured as a series of sequence segments, rather than a single acquisition.

  • Page 73: Trigger Holdoff

    Acquisition Trigger Holdoff Holdoff is either a period of time or an event count that may be set as an additional condition for Edge and Pattern triggers. Holdoff disables the trigger temporarily, even if the other conditions are met. Use Holdoff to obtain a stable trigger for repetitive, composite waveforms.
  • Page 74 HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Note: Because there is only one trigger per acquisition, the trigger event will always belongs to the new acquisition. The processing time shown here is for purposes of illustration only. Regardless of where in the acquisition record the trigger event was found (first edge or last), the display will show time pre- and post-trigger based on your Time/Div and Delay settings.
  • Page 75 Acquisition Holdoff Set Up To add Holdoff to an Edge or Pattern trigger, touch the Trigger descriptor box or press the front panel Trigger Setup button, then open the Holdoff tab. Choose to Holdoff by Time (the clock) or Events. If using Holdoff by Time, enter the Time in S to wait before triggering.

  • Page 76: Software Assisted Trigger

    HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Software Assisted Trigger Software Assisted Trigger is used to find the trigger-level crossing point closest to the hardware trigger point. It then adjusts the time offset of the waveform so that it is aligned with the specified trigger level and slope.
  • Page 77 Acquisition TriggerScan TriggerScan is a debugging tool that helps you quickly discover waveform anomalies by automating the process of building triggers designed to find rare events in an acquisition. TriggerScan: Trains the system by looking at normal acquired waveforms. During the training, TriggerScan analyzes the waveforms to determine what waveforms normally look like.

  • Page 82: Persistence Display

    HDO6000/HDO6000A High Definition Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Persistence Display The Persistence feature retains waveform traces on the display for a set amount of time before allowing them to gradually "decay," similar to the analog-style display of old, phosphor screen oscilloscopes. The display is generated by repeated sampling of events over time and the accumulation of the sampled data into "persistence maps".
  • Page 83 Display 3d Mode persistence creates a topographical view of your waveform from a selection of shadings, textures, and hues. The advantage of the topographical view is that areas of highest and lowest intensity are shown as peaks and valleys, in addition to color or brightness. The shape of the peaks (pointed or flat) can reveal further information about the frequency of occurrences in your waveform.

It also maximizes data throughput from the acquisition system to your custom algorithm for purposes of debugging.
  • Page 119 Math and Measure FFT Function For a large class of signals, you can gain greater insight by looking at spectral representation rather than time description. Signals encountered in the frequency response of amplifiers, oscillator phase noise and those in mechanical vibration analysis, for example, are easier to observe in the frequency domain. If sampling is done at a rate fast enough to faithfully approximate the original waveform (usually five times the highest frequency component in the signal), the resulting discrete data series will uniquely describe the analog signal.
