User manual TEKTRONIX TDS3012C DATASHEET

[. . . ] Fast waveform capture rates on a continuous basis save time by quickly revealing the nature of faults so advanced triggers can be applied to isolate them. Real-time intensity grading highlights the details about the history of a signal's activity, making it easier to understand the characteristics of the waveforms you've captured. Unlike other comparable oscilloscopes, the history remains even after the acquisition is stopped. Quickly Debug and Characterize Signals with DRT Sampling Technology and sin(x)/x Interpolation The TDS3000C Series combines unique digital real-time (DRT) sampling technology with sin(x)/x interpolation to allow you to accurately characterize a wide range of signal types on all channels simultaneously. [. . . ] DPOs provide 3 dimensions of signal information in real time: Amplitude, time, and the distribution of amplitude over time High-frequency and random glitch capture. Captures glitches as narrow as 1 ns (typical) using acquisition hardware at all time base settings Monitors the incoming signals on all channels and alerts the user to any waveform that deviates from the normal waveform being acquired Sample data only Waveform averaged, selectable from 2 to 512 Min-max values acquired over one or more acquisitions Use the Single Sequence button to capture a single triggered acquisition sequence at a time Amplitude, Time Cursors Automatic Measurements Display any four measurements from any combination of waveforms. Or display all measurements with measurement snapshot feature. Measurements include Period, Frequency, +Width, -Width, Rise time, Fall time, +Duty cycle, -Duty cycle, +Overshoot, High, Low, Max, Min, Peak-to-peak, Amplitude, Mean, Cycle mean, RMS, Cycle RMS, Burst width, Delay, Phase, Area*1, Cycle Area*1 Measurement Statistics Mean, Min, Max, Standard deviation. Requires TDS3AAM application module Thresholds User-definable thresholds for automatic measurements; settable in percent or voltage Gating Isolate a specific occurrence within an acquisition to take measurements, using either the screen or cursors *1 Requires TDS3AAM application module. Trigger System Characteristic Description Waveform Math Characteristic Description Main Trigger Modes Auto (supports Roll Mode for 40 ms/div and slower), Normal, Single Sequence B Trigger Trigger after time or events Trigger After Time Range 13. 2 ns to 50 s 1 to 9, 999, 999 events Trigger After Events Range Arithmetic FFT Advanced Math*1 Trigger Types Trigger Description Add, subtract, multiply, and divide waveforms Spectral magnitude. Set FFT vertical scale to Linear RMS or dBV RMS, and FFT window to Rectangular, Hamming, Hanning, or Blackman-Harris Integrate, Differentiate, Define extensive algebraic expressions including analog waveforms, math functions, scalars, up to two user-adjustable variables and results of parametric measurements. For example: (Intg (Ch1-Mean(Ch1)) × 1. 414 × VAR1) Note: Requires TDS3AAM application module. Edge Video Extended Video Pulse Width (or Glitch) Runt Slew Rate Pattern State Comm Alternate Conventional level-driven trigger. Positive or negative slope on any channel. Coupling selections: AC, DC, Noise Reject, HF Reject, LF Reject Trigger on all lines or individual lines, odd/even or all fields on NTSC, PAL, SECAM Trigger on specific lines in broadcast and non-broadcast (custom) standards and on analog HDTV formats (1080i, 1080p, 720p, 480p). Requires TDS3VID or TDS3SDI application module Trigger on a pulse width <, >, =, to a selectable time limit ranging from 39. 6 ns to 50 s Trigger on a pulse that crosses one threshold but fails to cross a second threshold before crossing the first again Trigger on pulse edge rates that are either faster or slower than a set rate. Edges can be rising, falling, or either Specifies AND, OR, NAND, NOR when true or false for a specific time Any logic state. Triggerable on rising or falling edge of a clock. Logic triggers can be used on combinations of 2 inputs (not 4) Provides isolated pulse triggering required to perform DS1/DS3 telecommunications mask testing per ANSI T1. 102 standard. Requires TDS3TMT application module Sequentially uses each active channel as a trigger source *1 Requires TDS3AAM application module.
