Amplitude Measurements
Assuming the engineer has an idea of the device’s pins or test setup probe points, it is
helpful to view the signal in the
Oscilloscope Tool
. Eye masks can be created using
the integrated sampling oscilloscope on the channel cards. The information in this tool
is for qualitative analysis as well as measuring voltage parameters including rise or fall
times. A different measurement engine is used for jitter analysis (those tools follow this
page).
•
Connect the clock signal under test to IN1 on the front panel.
•
Press the Oscilloscope button. This will open the Oscilloscope tool. The channel and
trigger settings default to IN1.
•
Press the Auto Scale button to configure the display and perform an initial
measurement. Signal should be <= 1Vpk-pk single ended or <=2Vpk-pk differential.
•
Press the SINGLE/STOP button to acquire the signal. The signal will be displayed.
