Normal palette uses the default channel color (like yellow for channel one) along with gray-scale to indicate frequency of occurrence where frequently occurring events are bright. Inverted palette uses the default channel color along with grayscale to indicate frequency of occurrence where rarely occurring events are bright. Wave Inspector® Waveform Navigation and Automated Search With long record lengths, a single acquisition can include thousands of screens of waveform data. Wave Inspector® , the industry’s best tool for waveform navigation and automated search, enables you to find events...

Mixed Domain Oscilloscopes Zoom and Pan A dedicated, two-tier front-panel control provides intuitive control of both zooming and panning. The inner control adjusts the zoom factor (or zoom scale); turning it clockwise activates zoom and goes to progressively higher zoom factors, while turning it counterclockwise results in lower zoom factors and eventually turning zoom off. No longer do you need to navigate through multiple menus to adjust your zoom view. The outer control pans the zoom box across the waveform to quickly get to the portion of waveform you are interested in. The outer...

Waveform Analysis Waveform Histograms 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. 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...

Mixed Domain Oscilloscopes Video Design and Development (Optional) Power Analysis (Optional) Many video engineers have remained loyal to analog oscilloscopes, believing the intensity gradations on an analog display are the only way to see certain video waveform details. The fast waveform capture rate, coupled with its intensity-graded view of the signal, provides the same information-rich display as an analog oscilloscope, but with much more detail and all the benefits of digital scopes. Ever increasing consumer demand for longer battery-life devices and for green solutions that consume...

Limit-Mask Testing (Optional) A common task during the development process is characterizing the behavior of certain signals in a system. One method, called limit testing, is to compare a tested signal to a known good or “golden” version of the same signal with user-defined vertical and horizontal tolerances. Another common method, called mask testing, is to compare a tested signal to a mask, looking for where a signal under test violates the mask. The MDO4000C Series offers both limit and mask testing capability useful for long-term signal monitoring, characterizing signals during design,...
