Viewing Complex Signals
Video signals have been the ultimate display challenge for digitizing
oscilloscopes. These complex signals have long been considered the
display standard by which the display performance of digitizing
oscilloscopes have been compared to analog oscilloscope display
technology.
Video signals, due to their complexity, demand an oscilloscope with
high resolution, a fast display update rate, and a high sample rate to
avoid aliasing.
Make connections and perform initial setup:
1 To power the demo board, connect a USB cable between it and the
Agilent Infiniium 9000 Series oscilloscope.
You can also apply power by connecting the oscilloscope’s MSO
cable to the demo board’s 40-pin connector.
2 Connect the scope channel 1 probe to demo board CH1 and GND.
3 Turn the SELECT switch to position 0 (Video).
4 Remove the cap from the video camera lens.
5 Press [Default Setup].
6 Press [AutoScale].
7 Set the time base to 10 ms/div.
Set up the trigger:
8 From the on-screen main menu, choose Trigger>Setup Trigger...
(or press [Menu] in the front panel Trigger controls).
9 In the Trigger Setup dialog, select:
