Play/Pause
A dedicated Play/Pause front-panel button scrolls the waveform across the
display automatically while you look for anomalies or an event of interest.
Playback speed and direction are controlled using the intuitive pan control.
Once again, turning the control further makes the waveform scroll faster
and changing direction is as simple as turning the control the other way.
User marks
Press the Set Mark front-panel button to place one or more marks on the
waveform. Navigating between marks is as simple as pressing the
Previous (←) and Next (→) buttons on the front panel.
Search marks
The Search button allows you to automatically 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 Previous (←) and Next (→) buttons. Search types include edge,
pulse width/glitch, timeout, runt, logic, setup and hold, rise/fall time, parallel
bus, and I
2
C, SPI, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, RS-232/422/485/UART, MIL-
STD-1553, and I
2
S/LJ/RJ/TDM packet content.
Search step 1: You define what you would like to find.
Search step 2: Wave Inspector automatically searches through the record and marks
each event with a hollow white triangle. You can then use the Previous and Next buttons
to jump from one event to the next.
Digital phosphor technology
Digital phosphor technology provides you with fast insight into the real
operation of your device. Its fast waveform capture rate – greater than
50,000 wfm/s – gives you a high probability of quickly seeing the infrequent
problems common in digital systems: runt pulses, glitches, timing issues,
and more.
Waveforms are superimposed with one another and waveform points that
occur more frequently are intensified. This quickly highlights the events that
over time occur more often or, in the case of infrequent anomalies, occur
less often.
You can choose infinite persistence or variable persistence, determining
how long the previous waveform acquisitions stay on-screen. This allows
you to determine how often an anomaly is occurring.
Digital phosphor technology enables greater than 50,000 wfms/s waveform capture rate
and real-time intensity grading.
