TDS3000C Series Oscilloscopes
In today’s high-speed digital designs, elusive glitches
and random anomalies can cause circuits to fail.
The TDS3000C Series speeds anomaly detection
with its digital phosphor technology and patented
WaveAlert waveform anomaly detection feature.
The TDS3000C Series employs digital phosphor
technology to capture and display infrequent wave-
forms or waveform variations. Its real-time intensity-
grading provides you with information about the
frequency of occurrence of signal amplitudes
and widths, making it easier to understand the
characteristics of the transients you’ve captured.
To fully utilize the TDS3000C Series’
digital phosphor technology:
1. Press the
Display
button to show the display menu.
2. Press
Waveform Display
on the bottom menu.
3. Confirm that
Persist Time
on the side menu is set to
Auto
.
4. Press the
Clear Persistence
side menu button.
5. As desired, select the
Backlight Intensity
and
Graticule
settings.
6. As desired, rotate the
Waveform Intensity
front
panel knob to adjust the persistence of the anomalous
waveform.
