FUNCTION & CHARACTERISTICS
Bode Plot
Power Analysis
The T3DSO3000 Bode Plot application can control the T3DSO1000
FGMODA waveform generator, or any T3AFG4080120 function
generator, to make Bode Plot measurements of passive or active
components and circuits. The application scans the amplitude
and phase response over frequency, making it possible to replace
expensive network analyzers in less demanding applications. The
T3DSO1000FGMODA waveform generator allows Bode Plot
measurements up to 25 MHz whereas using the T3AFG120 allows
Bode Plot measurements up to 120 MHz.
The configuration screen enables setup of the reference and
measurement channels, with up to three measurement channels
possible. Configuration of the measurement frequency and
amplitude, setting the number of measurement points, load, variable
level sweeps, channel gain, decade or linear frequency mode, etc.
The measurement screen enables the setting of five common
measurements: Upper cutoff frequency, lower cutoff frequency,
bandwidth, gain margin and phase margin, in addition there are user
settable measurement cursors and a table of measurement results
which can be exported in CSV format.
The T3DSO3000 Power Analysis application provides a full suite
of power measurement and analysis tools. These tools enable an
improvement in the efficiency of measurements made on switching
power supplies and power devices. The Power Analysis application
can measure Power Quality, Current Harmonics, Inrush Current,
Switching Loss, Slew Rate, Modulation, Output Ripple, Turn On/
Turn Off, Transient Response, PSRR and Efficiency. Each measure
ment has a help screen showing a connection diagram with notes.
