Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes — MSO5000, DPO5000 Series

Search step 1: You deﬁne what you would like to ﬁnd.

Search s

tep 2: Wave Inspector automatically searches through the record and marks each

event wi

th a solid colored triangle. You can then use the Previous and Next buttons to

jump fro

m one event to the next.

Play/Pause

A dedicate d Play/Pause front-p anel button scrolls the w aveform across the

display automatically while you look for anomalies or an eve nt of interest.

Playback speed an d direction are controlled using the intuitive pan control.

Once again, turning the control further makes the waveform scroll faster and

changi

ng direction is as simple as turning the control the other way.

Digital ph

osphor technology enables greater than 250,000 wfm/s waveform capture rate

and real-t

ime c olor grading on the MSO/DPO5000 Series.

User Marks

Press the Set/Clear front-panel button to place one or more marks on

the waveform. Navigating between marks is as simp le as pressing the

Previous ()andNext () buttons on the front panel.

Search Marks

The Search button allows you to a utomat ically search through your long

acquisition looking for user-deﬁned events. All occurrences of the event

are highlighted with search marks and are easily navigated to, using the

front-panel P rev ious () and Next () buttons. Search types include

edge, gl

itch, width, timeout, runt, pattern, state , setup and hold, transition,

and window.

Digital Phosphor Technology

The MSO/DPO5000 Series' digital phosphor technology pro vides you with

fast insight into the real operation of your device. Its fast waveform capture

rate – gr

eater than 250,000 wfm/s – gives you a high probability of quickly

seeing the infrequent problems common in digital systems: runt pulses,

glitches, timing issues, a nd more.

Waveforms are superimposed with one another and waveform points are

color coded by frequency of occurrence. This quickly highlights the events

that occu r more often over time or, in the c ase of infrequent anomalies,

occur less often.

With the MSO/DPO5000 Series, you ca n choose inﬁnite persistence

or variable persistence, determining how long the previous waveform

acquisitions stay on-screen. This allows you to d etermine how often an

anomal

yisoccurring.
