The time represented by each horizontal division of the grid, or Time/Division, is most easily adjusted using the Front Panel Horizontal knob. -
Page 42: Sampling Modes
HDO4000 High Definition Oscilloscope Sampling Modes Real Time Sampling Mode Real Time sampling mode is a series of digitized voltage values sampled on the input signal at a uniform rate. These samples are displayed as a series of measured data values associated with a single trigger event. - Page 43 HDO4000 High Definition Oscilloscope ps (125 GS/s) apart. The process of acquiring these bins and satisfying the time constraint is a random one. The relative time between ADC sampling instants and the event trigger provides the necessary variation. The instrument requires multiple triggers to complete an acquisition. The number depends on the sample rate: the higher the sample rate, the more triggers are required.
- Page 44 HDO4000 High Definition Oscilloscope EQUENCE When setting up Sequence Mode, you define the number of fixed-size segments acquired in single-shot mode (see the instrument specifications for the limits). The oscilloscope uses the sequence timebase setting to determine the capture duration of each segment. Along with this setting, the oscilloscope uses the number of segments, maximum segment length, and total available memory to determine the actual number of samples or segments, and time or points.

The oscilloscope offers a selection of standard horizontal and vertical measurement parameters. -
Page 58: List Of Standard Parameters
HDO4000 High Definition Oscilloscope List of Standard Parameters Standard measurement parameters are listed below alphabetically. NOTE: There may be additional parameters available depending on the software options installed on the oscilloscope. Parameter Description Measures the difference between upper and lower levels in two-level signals. Differs from pkpk in that Amplitude noise, overshoot, undershoot, and ringing do not affect the measurement. - Page 59 HDO4000 High Definition Oscilloscope Parameter Description None Disables parameter calculation Num Points Number of points in the waveform between the measurement gates. (npoints) Amount of overshoot following a falling edge. This is represented as percentage of amplitude. Overshoot- Overshoot- is calculated using the formula (base - min.)/ampl x 100. On signals not having two major levels (triangle or saw-tooth waves, for example), may not give predictable results.

Page 70: Enhanced Resolution
HDO4000 High Definition Oscilloscope Enhanced Resolution ERes (Enhanced Resolution) filtering increases vertical resolution, allowing you to distinguish closely spaced voltage levels. The instrument's ERes function is similar to smoothing the signal with a simple, moving-average filter. However, it is more efficient concerning bandwidth and pass-band filtering. Use ERes: On single-shot acquisitions, or where the data record is slowly repetitive (cases where you cannot use averaging). - Page 71 HDO4000 High Definition Oscilloscope The improvement in SNR corresponds to the improvement in resolution if the noise in the signal is white (evenly distributed across the frequency spectrum). If the noise power is biased towards high frequencies, the SNR improvement will be better than the resolution improvement.
-
Page 72: Averaging Waveforms
HDO4000 High Definition Oscilloscope Graph Function To reduce noise: The example at left shows enhanced resolution of a noisy signal. The original trace (left top) has been processed by a 2-bit enhanced resolution filter. The result (left bottom) shows a smooth trace, where most of the noise has been eliminated. - Page 73 HDO4000 High Definition Oscilloscope amplitude. The most recently acquired waveform has more weight than all the previously acquired ones: the continuous average is dominated by the statistical fluctuations of the most recently acquired waveform. The weight of ‘old' waveforms in the continuous average gradually tends to zero (following an exponential rule) at a rate that decreases as the weight increases.
-
Page 74: Fft
HDO4000 High Definition Oscilloscope 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. - Page 75 HDO4000 High Definition Oscilloscope Rectangular windows provide the highest frequency resolution and are thus useful for estimating the type of harmonics present in the signal. Because the rectangular window decays as a (sinx)/x function in the spectral domain, slight attenuation will be induced. Alternative functions with less attenuation (Flat Top and Blackman-Harris) provide maximum amplitude at the expense of frequency resolution.

Page 76: Analysis
HDO4000 High Definition Oscilloscope Analysis Most Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes calculate measurements for all instances in the acquisition, enabling you to rapidly and thoroughly analyze a long memory acquisition of thousands or millions of parameter values to find anomalous measurements, or to apply a variety of mathematical functions to the waveform trace. -
Page 77: Wavescan
HDO4000 High Definition Oscilloscope WaveScan The WaveScan ® Search and Find tool enables you to search for unusual events in a single capture, or to scan for a particular event in many acquisitions over a long period of time. Each Scan Mode is optimized to find a different type of event. - Page 78 HDO4000 High Definition Oscilloscope Edge Mode is used for detecting the occurrence of edges. Events that meet the threshold level are captured and tabulated. When the acquisition is stopped, scan filters can be applied to the edges to find specific characteristics. Additional settings for Edge Mode are: Slope -- choose Pos, Neg, or Both.
