WaveSurfer 3000 Oscilloscopes
l Runt Type. Choose Both, Pos, or Neg.
l Hysteresis. Enter the hysteresis level as a percentage or voltage.
l Low Threshold and High Threshold. Enter the levels as a percentage or voltage.
l Absolute Levels. Check this box to enter levels as absolute voltage instead of percentage.
MEASUREMENT MODE
Measurement Mode is used for applying filters to measurements to find those that meet your defined
criteria, helping to isolate particular events within many samples. Markers appear over the source trace to
indicate the location of measurement, while the table displays values for the selected parameter that meet
the criteria. Additional Settings for Measurement Mode are:
l Measurement. Choose the measurement parameter you wish to search.
l Filter Method. Choose the operator that indicates the desired relationship to the Filter Limit. Only
measurements that meet this criteria are returned.
l Filter Limit. Enter the value that completes the filter criteria.
Alternatively, you can use the Filter Wizard to create the filter criteria.
BUS PATTERN MODE
Bus Pattern Mode (MSO only) is used for finding 2- to 16-bit patterns across the digital lines. Additional
settings for Bus Pattern Mode are:
l Viewing. Choose to enter the pattern as Binary or Hex(adecimal).
l Binary/Hex. Enter the pattern.
l Num. Patterns to detect. Enter a whole number.
Scan Views
Scan Views are different ways to view your WaveScan results. You can choose to display views
simultaneously or visit them sequentially. Just check the boxes at the bottom of the WaveScan dialog for
those views you wish to display. Uncheck the box to turn off the view.
By default, the Source Trace is displayed in the top grid, with markers indicating points in the trace that meet
the search criteria.
Table view displays a table of measurements relevant to your chosen Search Mode next to the source trace.
Times view adds columns to the table showing Start and Stop Times for each event.
Zoom view works exactly as it does elsewhere in the oscilloscope software, opening a close-up of the
source trace in a new grid that you can adjust vertically and horizontally. A Zx tab appears by default when
you launch WaveScan; see Zoom Controls for an explanation of the remainder of the controls found on this
dialog.
