Page 17: Using Maui
Using MAUI Using MAUI MAUI (Most Advanced User Interface) is Teledyne LeCroy's unique oscilloscope user interface. Touch Screen The oscilloscope features a capacitive touch screen that supports fluid, tablet-like response to gestures. Note: Use your finger or a capacitive stylus (not included) to interact with the touch screen. A regular stylus will not work. - Page 18 WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Grids The grids display the waveform traces. Every grid is 8 vertical divisions representing the full number of vertical levels and 10 horizontal divisions. The value represented by each division depends on the Vertical and Horizontal Scale of the traces that appear on the grid. The grid region can be divided up to three times to show channel (Cn), math (Fn), and zoom (Zn) traces on different grids.
- Page 19 Using MAUI 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, twice to open the setup dialog. Configure—drag-and-drop descriptor boxes to change source or copy setups (with OneTouch).
- Page 20 WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Dialogs Dialogs appear at the bottom of the display for entering setup data. The top dialog will be the main entry point for the selected functionality. For convenience, related dialogs appear as a series of tabs behind the main dialog.
- Page 21 Message Bar At the bottom of the oscilloscope display is a narrow message bar. The current date and time are shown at the far right. Status, error, or other messages are shown at the far left, where "Teledyne LeCroy" normally appears.

Page 30: Zooming
WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Zooming Zooms magnify a selected region of a trace by altering the horizontal and/or vertical 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 by using the front panel Vertical and Horizontal knobs or the touch screen zoom factor... - Page 31 Using MAUI Zn Dialog Each Zn dialog reflects the center and scale for that zoom. Use it to adjust each zoom independently. Trace Controls Trace On shows/hides the zoom trace. It is selected by default when the zoom is created. Source lets you change the source of the zoom to any digital, math or memory trace while maintaining all other settings.
- Page 32 WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Creating Zooms Any type of trace can be zoomed by creating a new zoom trace (Zn) following the procedures here. All zoom traces open in the same grid, with the zoomed portion of the source trace left unshaded. Zoomed area of source trace left unshaded.
- Page 33 Using MAUI Close Zoom New zooms are turned on and visible by default. If the display becomes too crowded, you can close a particular zoom and the zoom settings are saved in its Zn slot, ready to be turned on again when desired. To close the zoom, clear the Trace On box on the Zoom or Zn dialog.

Page 39: Digital (Mixed Signal)
Acquisition Digital (Mixed Signal) When a Mixed Signal device is connected to the oscilloscope, digital input options are added to the Vertical menu. There are set up dialogs for each possible digital group, Digital1 to Digitaln, which correspond to digital buses. You choose which lines make up each digital group, what they are named, and how they appear on the display. - Page 40 WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Digital Setup Using Digital Leadset The digital leadset enables input of up-to-16 lines of digital data. Physical lines can be preconfigured into different logical groups, Digitaln, corresponding to a bus. The transitions for each line may be viewed through different displays.
- Page 41 Acquisition 4. When you're finished on the Digitaln dialog, open Logic Setup and choose the Logic Family that applies to each digital bank, or set custom Threshhold values. Digital Display Setup Choose the type and position of the digital traces that appear on screen for each digital group. 1.
- Page 42 WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Renumbering Digital Lines Labels can also be "swapped" between lines. This procedure helps in cases where the physical lead number is different from the logical line number you would like to assign to that input. It can save time having to reattach leads or reconfigure groups.

Page 43: Timebase
Acquisition Timebase Timebase (Horizontal) settings control traces 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. Full Timebase set up is done on the Timebase dialog, accessed either by choosing Timebase >... - Page 44 WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Memory Maximum Points is the maximum number of samples taken per acquisition. The actual number of samples acquired can be lower due to the other timebase settings. The oscilloscope will allot the maximum memory and sample rate possible based on the activity within each pair of channels.
- Page 45 Acquisition Note: RIS is not available when the oscilloscope is using another form of digital interleaving. Roll Sampling Mode Roll mode displays incoming points of slow timebase acquisitions so that the trace appears to "roll" continuously across the screen from right to left. The acquisition is complete when a trigger event is detected, at which point the next acquisition begins immediately.
- Page 46 WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual 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 47 Acquisition History Mode History Mode allows you to review any acquisition saved in the history buffer, which automatically stores all acquisition records until full. Not only can individual acquisitions be restored to the grid, you can "scroll" backward and forward through the history at varying speeds to capture changes in the waveforms over time.
- Page 48 WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Top row buttons scroll: Fast Backward, Slow Backward, Slow Forward, Fast Forward. Bottom row buttons step: Back to Start, Back One, Go to Index (row #), Forward One, Forward to End. Press Pause when you see something of interest, then use the History table to find the exact Index. Select Single Acquisition 1.

Page 49: Trigger
Acquisition 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 50 WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Trigger Types The Trigger Type sets the triggering conditions. Edge triggers upon a achieving a certain voltage level in the positive or negative slope of the waveform. Width triggers upon finding a positive- or negative-going pulse width when measured at the specified voltage level.
- Page 51 Acquisition Trigger Set Up To open the Trigger dialog, press the front panel Trigger Setup button or touch the Trigger descriptor box. Different controls will appear depending on the Trigger Type selected (e.g., Slope for Edge triggers). Complete the settings shown after making your selection. The trigger condition is summarized in a preview window at the far right of the Trigger dialog.
- Page 52 WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Conditions (Smart Triggers) Smart triggers all allow you to apply Boolean logic to refine the triggering condition beyond simply Level and Slope/Polarity. The values that satisfy the operators of Less Than, Less Than or Equal To, Greater Than, etc. can be set by entering an Upper Value and/or Lower Value.
- Page 53 Acquisition 4. To set a Time Condition in which the pattern must occur once the trigger is armed, choose the operator: Less Than to trigger only if the pattern occurs before the time set. Greater Than to trigger only if the pattern occurs after the time set. In Range to set a time window in which the pattern must occur.
- Page 54 WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Any Time triggers if B occurs any time after being qualified by A. Less Than triggers only if B occurs before the time set once qualified. Greater Than triggers only if B occurs after the time set once qualified. As with regular Holdoff, the counter may begin from the Acquisition Start or the Last Trigger Time.
- Page 55 Acquisition Positive Edge trigger with Holdoff by time counted from the last trigger time. 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 56 WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual 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 57: Display
Display Display Display settings affect the number and style of grids that appear on screen and some of the visual characteristics of traces, such as persistence. Auto Grid is enabled by default. This feature divides the screen as needed when new traces open. WaveSurfer oscilloscopes may be divided into a maximum of three grids—one each for channels/memories, math functions, and zooms—that each represent the full number of vertical levels. -
Page 58: Persistence Display
WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Trace Choose a line style for traces: solid Line or disconnected sample Points. When more data is available than can actually be displayed given the number of vertical levels, Trace Intensity helps to visualize significant events by applying an algorithm that dims less frequently occurring samples. - Page 59 Display Apply Persistence 1. Check Persistence On. 2. Use the buttons to select a persistence mode: In Analog Mode, as a persistence data map develops, different intensities of the same color are assigned to the range between a minimum and a maximum population.

Page 61: Cursors
Cursors Cursors Cursors are markers (lines, cross-hairs, and arrows) that identify horizontal and vertical values where they intersect the X or Y axis. Use cursors to make fast, accurate measurements of points on the waveform. Cursor Types Horizontal Cursors Horizontal cursors are positioned at points on the x-axis and will measure the source trace horizontal and vertical values at that point. - Page 62 WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual When horizontal cursors are not tracking, they can be moved to any position along the x-axis individually. The horizontal delta represents X2 – X1, which will be a positive number so long as X2 remains to the right of X1.

Page 68: List Of Standard Measurements
WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual List of Standard Measurements Note: Unless otherwise stated, measurements are calculated according to IEEE standards. Additional measurements may be available depending on the software options installed. Amplitude Difference between the upper and lower levels in two-level (bi-modal) signals. Differs from Peak-to-Peak (pkpk) in that noise, overshoot, undershoot, and ringing do not affect the measurement. - Page 69 Measure Reciprocal of each Period of a cyclic signal. Period is measured as time between every pair of 50% crossings on the rising edge, starting with the first rising transition after the left measurement gate. Maximum Largest vertical value in a waveform. Unlike Top, does not assume the waveform has two levels. Mean Average of vertical values in a waveform.
- Page 70 WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual Duration of a pulse waveform's rising transition from 10% to 90% of amplitude, averaged for all rising transitions between the measurement gates. On signals that do not have two major levels (such as triangle waves), the Top-Base measurement used to calculate rise can default to maximum and minimum, giving less predictable results.

Page 71: Using Trends
Measure Using Trends The Trend math function plots a waveform composed of parameter measurements arranged in the order the measurements were made. The vertical units are the source parameter values, and the horizontal unit is the measurement number. The Trend contains a single value for each unique measurement, and therefore may not be time synchronous with the source waveform, where the same measured value may occur successively over time. - Page 72 WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual...

Page 73: Math
Math Math Math function traces (Fn) display the result of applying a mathematical operation to a source trace. The output of a math function is always another trace, whereas the output of a measurement parameter is a tabular readout of the measurement. Math can be applied to any channel (Cn), zoom (Zn), or memory (Mn) trace. -

Page 80: Fft Function
WaveSurfer 4000HD Oscilloscopes Operator's Manual 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. - Page 81 Math Window Type Applications and Limitations Rectangular Normally used when the signal is transient (completely contained in the time-domain window) or known to have a fundamental frequency component that is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency of the window. Signals other than these types will show varying amounts of spectral leak- age and scallop loss, which can be corrected by selecting another type of window.
