Acquisition Modes
DPO – Captures and displays complex waveforms,
random events and subtle patterns in actual signal
behavior. DPOs provide 3 dimensions of signal infor-
mation in real time:Amplitude, time and the distribu-
tion of amplitude over time.
Peak Detect – High frequency and random glitch
capture. Captures glitches as narrow as 1 ns (typical)
using acquisition hardware at all time base settings.
WaveAlert
®
– Monitors the incoming signals on all
channels and alerts the user to any waveform that
deviates from the normal waveform being acquired.
Sample – Sample data only.
Average – Waveform averaged, selectable
from 2 to 512.
Envelope – Min-max values acquired over one
or more acquisitions.
Single Sequence – Use the Single Sequence
button to capture a single triggered acquisition
sequence at a time.
Trigger System
Main Trigger Modes – Auto (supports Roll Mode for
40 ms/div and slower), Normal,Single Sequence.
B Trigger – Trigger after time or events.
Trigger After Time Range – 13.2 ns to 50 s.
Trigger After Events Range – 1 to 9,999,999 events.
Trigger Types
Edge – Conventional level-driven trigger. Positive or
negative slope on any channel. Coupling selections:
AC, DC,Noise Reject, HF Reject,LF Reject.
Video – Trigger on all lines or individual lines,
odd/even or all fields on NTSC, PAL, SECAM.
Extended Video – Trigger on specific lines in broad-
cast and non-broadcast (custom) standards and on
analog HDTV formats (1080i, 1080p,720p, 480p).
Requires TDS3VID or TDS3SDI application module.
Pulse Width (or Glitch) – Trigger on a pulse width
<, >, =,≠ to a selectable time limit ranging from
39.6 ns to 50 s.
Runt – Trigger on a pulse that crosses one
threshold but fails to cross a second threshold
before crossing the first again.
Slew Rate – Trigger on pulse edge rates that are
either faster or slower than a set rate. Edges can be
rising, falling or either.
Pattern – Specifies AND,OR, NAND,NOR when true
or false for a specific time.
State – Any logic state.Triggerable on rising or
falling edge of a clock. Logic triggers can be used
on combinations of 2 inputs (not 4).
Comm – Provides isolated pulse triggering required
to perform DS1/DS3 telecommunications mask
testing per ANSI T1.102 standard. Requires
TDS3TMT application module.
Alternate – Sequentially uses each active channel
as a trigger source.
