INTRODUCTION 3
History Mode
History Mode allows you to review any acquisition saved in the
oscilloscope’s history buffer, which automatically stores all acquisition
records until full. Not only can individual acquisitions be restored to the
grid, you can “scroll” backward and forward through the history at varying
speeds to capture details and changes in the waveforms over time.
Each record is indexed and time-stamped, and you can choose to view
the absolute time of acquisition or the time relative to where you are in
the history.
Advanced Debug Toolkit Option
With the addition of the Advanced Debug Toolkit option, the WaveSurfer
10 becomes an unparalleled debug and analysis machine. The high
sample rate of 10 GS/s on all four channels, up to 32 Mpts/ch of
memory, Sequence Mode segmented memory, History Mode, 13
additional math functions, and two math traces included in this powerful
debug package enable WaveSurfer 10 to perform advanced analysis on
long captures with 10x oversampling.
The Advanced Debug Toolkit features are standard on WaveSurfer 10M
oscilloscopes.
Sequence Mode Acquisition
In Sequence Mode, the complete waveform consists of a user-defined
number of fixed-size segments. Sequence Mode is ideal when capturing
many fast pulses in quick succession or when capturing few events
separated by long time periods. The instrument can capture complicated
sequences of events over large time intervals in fine detail, while
ignoring the uninteresting periods between the events. You can also
make time measurements between events on selected segments using
the full precision of the acquisition timebase.
Enhanced Sample Rate and Memory
10 GS/s on all 4 channels
16 Mpts/ch interleaving to 32 Mpts/ch
Enhanced Math and Measurements
Two single or dual operator math functions (instead of only one)
can be applied to any source waveform(s). Thirteen math operators
are available in addition to the standard selection. Functions can be
configured to graph a Trend plot of any measurement parameter.
Histicons allow the statistical distribution of measurements to be
observed.
