Chapter 2 Explanation of Functions
2.1
Functional Differences from the TA520
Sampling Mode (See page 2-4.)
On the TA520, the inter-symbol interference analysis function was a part of the time
stamp mode. However, on the TA720, the inter-symbol interference analysis mode is
provided separately from the time stamp mode.
Note
On the TA520, inter-symbol interference analysis could be made after making measurements
in the time stamp mode. However, on the TA720, switching the mode clears the measured
value.
Measurement Function (See page 2-5.)
Dual measurement (period A & period B, period A & A-to-B time interval, pulse width A &
A-to-B time interval*, and pulse width A & pulse width B*) is possible on the TA720.
*
Pulse width A
→
A-to-B time interval in the inter-symbol interference analysis mode
** Pulse width A
→
pulse width B in the inter-symbol interference analysis mode
Phase Adjustment for A-to-B Time Interval Measurement (See page 2-12.)
The phase of the CH B input signal can be shifted with respect to the CH A input signal
in the A-to-B time interval measurement.
Histogram Display in Time Stamp Mode (See page 2-13.)
On the TA520, multi window setting, auto window setting, panorama display, and
histogram sum were only possible on the histogram display in hardware histogram
mode. These are now possible on the histogram display in time stamp mode.
Symbol Search Function (See page 2-20.)
A specified symbol (1T to 16T) can be searched on the multi window or auto window in
the list display of the time stamp mode or inter-symbol interference mode.
“Deviation” or “
σ
” Graph on the Histogram Display (See page 2-14.)
The statistical value “deviation” or “
σ
” can be displayed on a graph in place of a list of
statistics of each window when all window display of multi window or auto window is
used in hardware histogram mode or time stamp mode.
Missed Sampling Detection Function in Inter-symbol Interference Analysis Mode
(See page 2-25.)
A function for detecting dropouts in sampling is provided for measurements in the inter-
symbol interference analysis mode.
Sync Function in Inter-symbol Interference Analysis Mode (See page 2-25.)
Analysis can be performed from the searched measured value pattern using the symbol
search function.
Ethernet Communications and PC Card Slot (Optional Functions) (See page 2-26.)
It is possible to connect the TA720 to the Ethernet network and save the TA720 data to
an FTP server or access the PC card or floppy disk installed in the TA720 from a PC. In
addition, the TA720 can be controlled from a PC via the Ethernet interface.
Functions That Have Been Removed
The following functions that were available on the TA520 have been removed.
• SCSI interface (option)
• Internal Hard Disk (option)
• Built-in floppy disk format type: 640 KB/1.2 MB
