Search - Results of an advanced search for a runt pulse or a narrow glitch within a long

waveform record.

Comprehensive analysis

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, characterization of system clocks, and investigation of noise

sources. The MSO/DPO5000B Series offers a comprehensive set of

integrated analysis tools including waveform- and screen-based cursors,

53 automated measurements, advanced waveform math including arbitrary

equation editing, waveform histograms, and FFT analysis.

Analyze - Waveform histogram of the rising and falling edge of a 622 Mb/s signal

showing the distribution of edge position (jitter) over time. Included are numeric

measurements made on the waveform histogram data.

The standard limit test package enables long-term signal monitoring,

characterizing signals during design, and production line testing. Limit test

compares a tested signal to a known good or "golden" version of the same

signal with user-defined vertical and horizontal tolerances. You can tailor a

limit test to your specific requirements by defining test duration in a number

of waveforms, setting a violation threshold that must be met before

considering a test a failure, counting hits with statistical information, and

setting actions upon violations, test failure, and test complete.

Custom analysis

When signal analysis needs extend beyond the standard or optional

analysis features, the Windows 7 based MSO/DPO5000B series has the

flexibility to support custom analysis. Apply your custom algorithms using

custom MATLAB and .NET math plug-ins for analysis functions that are

integrated in the oscilloscope user interface for more seamless operation.

Jitter analysis

Every MSO/DPO5000B Series oscilloscope includes the DPOJET

Essentials jitter and eye pattern analysis software package, extending the

oscilloscope's measurement capabilities to take measurements over

contiguous clock and data cycles in a single-shot real-time acquisition. This

enables measurement of key jitter and timing analysis parameters such as

Time Interval Error and Phase Noise to help characterize possible system

timing issues. Analysis tools such as plots for time trends and histograms

quickly show how timing parameters change over time, and spectrum

analysis quickly shows the precise frequency and amplitude of jitter and

modulation sources.
