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.
Search step 3: The Search Mark table provides a tabular view of each of the events
found by the automated search. Each event is shown with a time stamp making timing
measurements between events easy.
Waveform analysis
Verifying that your prototype’s performance matches simulations and meets
the project’s design goals requires analyzing its behavior. Tasks can range
from simple checks of rise times and pulse widths to sophisticated power
loss analysis and investigation of noise sources.
The oscilloscope offers a comprehensive set of integrated analysis tools
including waveform- and screen-based cursors, automated measurements,
advanced waveform math including arbitrary equation editing, FFT
analysis, waveform histograms, and trend plots for visually determining how
a measurement is changing over time.
Automated measurement readouts provide repeatable, statistical views of waveform
characteristics.
Each measurement has help text and graphics associated with it that help explain how
the measurement is made.
Waveform histograms show visually how waveforms vary over time.
Horizontal waveform histograms are especially useful for gaining insight
into how much jitter is on a clock signal, and what the distribution of that
jitter is. Vertical histograms are especially useful for gaining insight into how
much noise is on a signal, and what the distribution of that noise is.
Measurements taken on a waveform histogram provide analytical
information about the distribution of a waveform histogram, providing
insight into just how broad a distribution is, the amount of standard
deviation, the mean value, etc.
