Powerful Waveform Capture and Analysis

At the core of the 3 Series MDO is a world-class oscilloscope, offering

comprehensive tools that speed each stage of debug – from quickly

discovering anomalies and capturing them, to searching your waveform

record for events of interest and analyzing their characteristics and your

device’s behavior.

Digital phosphor technology with FastAcq™ high-

speed waveform capture

To debug a design problem, first you must know it exists. Every design

engineer spends time looking for problems in their design, a time-

consuming and frustrating task without the right debug tools.

Digital phosphor technology provides you with fast insight into the real

operation of your device. Its fast waveform capture rate – greater than

280,000 wfms/s with FastAcq – gives you a high probability of quickly

seeing the infrequent problems common in digital systems: runt pulses,

glitches, timing issues, and more.

To further enhance the visibility of rarely occurring events, intensity grading

is used to indicate how often rare transients are occurring relative to normal

signal characteristics. There are four waveform palettes available in

FastAcq acquisition mode.

The Temperature palette uses color-grading to indicate frequency of

occurrence with hot colors like red/yellow indicating frequently

occurring events and colder colors like blue/green indicating rarely

occurring events.

The Spectral palette uses color-grading to indicate frequency of

occurrence with colder colors like blue indicating frequently occurring

events and hot colors like red indicating rarely occurring events.

The 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.

The Inverted palette uses the default channel color along with gray-

scale to indicate frequency of occurrence where rarely occurring events

are bright.

These color palettes quickly highlight the events that over time occur more

often or, in the case of infrequent anomalies, occur less often.

Infinite or variable persistence choices determine how long waveforms stay

on the display, helping you to determine how often an anomaly is occurring.

Digital phosphor technology with FastAcq enables greater than 280,000 wfms/s

waveform capture rate and real-time color-intensity grading.

Triggering

Discovering a device fault is only the first step. Next, you must capture the

event of interest to identify root cause. To enable this, the 3 Series MDO

contains over 125 trigger combinations providing a complete set of triggers

- including runt, logic, pulse width/glitch, setup and hold violation, serial

packet, and parallel data - to help quickly locate your event of interest. And

with up to a 10 M record length, you can capture many events of interest,

even thousands of serial packets, in a single acquisition for further analysis

while maintaining high resolution to zoom in on fine signal details.

Over 125 trigger combinations make capturing your event of interest easy.
