    BASICS Vertical (Channel) Vertical controls adjust traces along the Y axis. Traces represent eight Vertical divisions of the source signal at the selected number of units per division. The zero level is at the center grid line unless you add positive or negative Offset. The front panel Volts knob also controls the Vertical Scale of zoom, math and memory traces.

  • Page 28: Triggers

    BASICS Trigger Triggers tell the oscilloscope when to perform an acquisition. The acquisition starts as soon as the trigger is armed and all trigger conditions are met, unless postponed by a Holdoff count of time or number of trigger events. Trigger types and modes are described at more length in the HDO4000A Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual.

  • Page 30: Zoom

    BASICS Zoom Zoom traces (Zn) display a magnified portion of another trace. Any trace can be zoomed, although Zoom is most useful for channel traces, as it allows you to see the source at the original Timebase at the same time as the Zoom "close up." From the Front Panel When you use the front panel Zoom button, a new Zoom trace is created for every open trace, showing a 10x magnification of the source trace.

Repeat on another section to reposition the Zoom trace. On the source trace setup dialog, touch Action Toolbar Zoom button to create a new zoom of just that source trace.

  • Page 32: Cursors

    BASICS Cursors Cursors set measurement points on the Vertical or Horizontal axis of a trace (or both). The five preset cursor types are described in more detail in the HDO4000A Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual. All show the absolute value where the cursor intersects the waveform and the delta of the two lines. From the Front Panel Adjust cursor position.

  • Page 33: Measurements & Statistics

    BASICS Measurements and Statistics Measurements are waveform parameters that can be expressed as numerical values, such as amplitude or frequency. You can measure up-to-eight parameters on one or more traces and view the active readout in a table below the grid. Statistics can be added to the readout, along with histicons, a miniature histogram of the statistical distribution.

  • Page 34: Math

    BASICS Math Math creates a new trace that displays the result of applying a mathematical function (e.g., Sum, Product, FFT) to one or more source traces. Operations can be chained by using one math function as a source for the other. The math trace always opens in a separate grid from the source and can be viewed along side it.

  • Page 35: Memories (Reference Waveforms)

    BASICS Memories (Reference Waveforms) Memories are traces stored for reference. They can be recalled to the display for comparison with other traces. A memory can be zoomed or measured for better analysis of historical data. You can store up-to-four internal memories (M1-M4). After that, new memories will overwrite previously stored data. To store a new memory: To recall a stored memory: Press the front panel Mem(ory) button to open the Memories dialog, then...

  • Page 36: Decode

    BASICS Decode The Decode front panel button opens the dialogs for configuring serial trigger and decode options. Decoders apply software algorithms to extract encoded information from physical layer waveforms measured on your oscilloscope. Waveforms are annotated to provide fast, intuitive understanding of the relationship between protocol and signal.

  • Page 37: Wavescan

    BASICS WaveScan Press the WaveScan front panel button to open the WaveScan dialogs. WaveScan Search and Find 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. A predefined set of scan modes (similar to trigger setups) enable a quick search for events of interest.

  • Page 38: Spectrum Analyzer

    BASICS Spectrum Analyzer If the Spectrum Analyzer option is installed, use the Spectrum front panel button to launch it. Spectrum Analyzer lets you quickly and easily use the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for frequency analysis. The controls are the same as you would find on an RF spectrum analyzer. You set the inputs and desired frequency span, and the oscilloscope automatically generates output in units relevant to the frequency domain.

  • Page 39: History Mode

    BASICS History Mode The History front panel button puts the instrument into History Mode, allowing you to review any acquisition in the oscilloscope’s history buffer, which automatically stores all acquisitions until full. Each record is indexed and time-stamped with either the absolute time since the beginning of history or the time relative to where you are in the history.
