Glossary
ASCII
Acronym for the American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
Controllers transmit commands to the oscilloscope using ASCII character
encoding.
Address
A 7-bit code that identifies an instrument on the communication bus. The
digitizing oscilloscope must have a unique address for the controller to
recognize and transmit commands to it.
Backus-Naur Form (BNF)
A standard notation system for command syntax diagrams. The syntax
diagrams in this manual use BNF notation.
Controller
A computer or other device that sends commands to and accepts responses
from the digitizing oscilloscope.
EOI
A mnemonic referring to the control line “End or Identify” on the GPIB
interface bus. One of the two possible end-of-message terminators.
EOM
A generic acronym referring to the end-of-message terminator. The
end-of-message terminator can be either an EOI or the ASCII code for line
feed (LF).
Equivalent-time sampling (ET)
A sampling mode in which the oscilloscope acquires signals over many
repetitions of the event. The TDS3000, TDS3000B, and TDS3000C series
use a type of equivalent time sampling called
random equivalent time
sampling
. It utilizes an internal clock that runs asynchronously with respect
to the input signal and the signal trigger. The oscilloscope takes samples
continuously, independent of the trigger position, and displays them based
on the time difference between the sample and the trigger. Although the
samples are taken sequentially in time, they are random with respect to the
trigger.
Real-time sampling
A sampling mode where the oscilloscope samples fast enough to completely
fill a waveform record from a single trigger event. Use real-time sampling to
capture single-shot or transient events.
