Datasheet

The wide variety of trigger types and context-sensitive help in the trigger menu make it
easier than ever to isolate the event of interest.
Visual Trigger - finding the signal of interest quickly Finding the right
cycle of a complex bus can require hours of collecting and sorting through
thousands of acquisitions for an event of interest. Defining a trigger that
isolates the desired event speeds up debug and analysis efforts.
Visual Trigger extends the instrument's triggering capabilities by scanning
through all waveform acquisitions and comparing them to on-screen areas
(geometric shapes). You can create an unlimited number of areas using the
mouse or touchscreen, and a variety of shapes (triangles, rectangles,
hexagons, or trapezoids) can be used to specify the desired trigger
behavior. Once shapes are created, they can be edited interactively to
create custom shapes and ideal trigger conditions. Once multiple areas are
defined, a Boolean logic equation can be used to set complex trigger
conditions using on-screen editing features.
Visual Trigger areas isolate an event of interest, saving time by only capturing the events
you want to see.
By triggering only on the most important signal events, Visual Trigger can
save hours of capturing and manually searching through acquisitions. In
seconds or minutes, you can find the critical events and complete your
debug and analysis efforts. Visual Trigger even works across multiple
channels, extending its usefulness to complex system troubleshooting and
debug tasks.
Multiple channel triggering. Visual Trigger areas can be associated with events spanning
multiple channels, such as triggering on a specific burst-width on channel 1 and a
specified bit pattern on channel 2.
Accurate high-speed probing
The TPP Series passive voltage probes offer all the benefits of general-
purpose probes -- high dynamic range, flexible connection options, and
robust mechanical design -- while providing the performance of active
probes. Up to 1 GHz analog bandwidth enables you to see high frequency
components in your signals, and extremely low 3.9 pF capacitive loading
minimizes adverse effects on your circuits and is more forgiving of longer
ground leads.
An optional, low-attenuation (2X) version of the TPP probe is available for
measuring low voltages. Unlike other low-attenuation passive probes, the
TPP0502 has high bandwidth (500 MHz) as well as low capacitive loading
(12.7 pF).
4 Series MSOs come standard with four probes for four or six channel models (TPP0250
for 200 MHz models; TPP0500B for 350 MHz, 500 MHz, 1 GHz, and 1.5 GHz models).
