Power quality measurement. Automated power measurements enable quick and

accurate analysis of common power parameters.

Limit-mask testing (Optional) – A common task during the development

process is characterizing the behavior of certain signals in a system. One

method, called limit testing, is to compare a tested signal to a known good

or "golden" version of the same signal with user-defined vertical and

horizontal tolerances. Another common method, called mask testing, is to

compare a tested signal to a mask, looking for where a signal under test

violates the mask. The MDO4000C Series offers both limit and mask

testing capability useful for long-term signal monitoring, characterizing

signals during design, or testing on a production line. A robust set of

telecommunications and computer standards are provided to test for

compliance to a standard. Additionally, custom masks can be created and

used for characterizing signals. Tailor a test to your specific requirements

by defining test duration in number of waveforms or time, a violation

threshold that must be met before considering a test a failure, counting hits

along with statistical information, and actions upon violations, test failure,

and test complete. Whether specifying a mask from a known good signal or

from a custom or standard mask, conducting pass/fail tests in search of

waveform anomalies such as glitches has never been easier. The optional

limit/mask test functionality is offered free for a 30-day trial period. This free

trial period starts automatically when the instrument is powered on for the

first time.

2- Spectrum Analyzer (Optional)

Fast and accurate spectral analysis – When using the optional spectrum

analyzer input by itself, the MDO4000C Series display becomes a full-

screen Frequency Domain view.

Key spectral parameters such as Center Frequency, Span, Reference

Level, and Resolution Bandwidth are all adjusted quickly and easily using

the dedicated front-panel menus and keypad.

Intelligent efficient markers – In a traditional spectrum analyzer, it can be

a very tedious task to turn on and place enough markers to identify all your

peaks of interest. The MDO4000C Series makes this process far more

efficient by automatically placing markers on peaks that indicate both the

frequency and the amplitude of each peak. You can adjust the criteria that

the oscilloscope uses to automatically find the peaks.
