  • Page 16: Working With Traces

    BASICS Working with Traces Active vs. Inactive Trace The easiest way to turn on a trace is to press the front panel C1-C4, Math, and Zoom buttons. Provided there is a signal, a waveform appears on the Although several traces may be open and appear on the display, only one at grid, a new descriptor box opens at the bottom of the grid area, and the a time is active.

  • Page 18: Vertical

    BASICS Vertical Vertical controls adjust analog traces along the Y axis. Traces represent eight Vertical divisions of the source signal at the selected number of Volts or Amperes 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.

    BASICS BASICS Horizontal (Timebase) Horizontal controls adjust traces along the X axis. Analog traces usually represent one acquisition of the source signal for 10 divisions of the selected Time per division. The trigger event is shown at the center of the grid, unless you add positive or negative Delay time. The front panel Time knob also controls the Horizontal Scale of zoom, math and memory traces, allowing you to "zoom in"...

  • Page 24: Triggers

    BASICS Triggers 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 WaveSurfer 3000z Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual.

  • Page 26: Zoom

    BASICS Zoom Zoom traces 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.

  • Page 28: 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 WaveSurfer 3000z 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 Apply cursor.

  • Page 29: Measurements & Statistics

    BASICS Measurements & Statistics Measurements are waveform parameters that can be expressed as numerical values, such as amplitude or frequency. You can set up-to-six simultaneous measurements 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 30: 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 31: 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-two internal memories (M1-M2). After that, new memories will overwrite previously stored data. Internal memories persist only until the oscilloscope is rebooted.

  • Page 32: Wavesource

    BASICS WaveSource The optional WaveSource Waveform Generator allows you to output multiple types of waveform signals, including arbitrary waveforms, from the WaveSurfer 3000z. To use it, just connect a BNC cable from the WaveSource output on the back of the oscilloscope to the input device and set up the waveform on the WaveSource dialog.
