A-4 CSA7000 Series, TDS7000 Series, & TDS6000 Series Instruments User Manual
Digital Phosphor. CSA7000 Series & TDS7000 Series only: The instrument can
clearly display intensity modulation in your signals. The instrument automati-
cally overlays subsequent acquisitions and then decays them to simulate the
writing and decay of the phosphor in an analog instrument CRT. The feature
results in an intensity-graded or color-graded waveform display that shows the
information in the intensity modulation.
Fit to Screen. The Digital Phosphor technology performs the compression
required to represent all record points on the screen, even at the maximum record
length settings.
Zoom. To take advantage of the full resolution of the instrument you can zoom in
on a waveform to see the fine details. Both vertical and horizontal zoom
functions are available. Zoomed waveforms can be aligned, locked, and
automatically scrolled.
Cursors. Use cursors to take simple voltage, time, and frequency measurements.
Automatic Measurements. Choose from a large palette of amplitude, time, and
histogram measurements. You can customize the measurements by changing
reference levels or by adding measurement gating.
Mask Testing. Optional on TDS7000 Series & TDS6000 Series. Provides mask
testing for verifying compliance to optical (CSA7000 Series only) and electrical
standards. Optical mask testing uses integrated reference receivers.
Simple and Advanced Trigger Types. Choose simple edge trigger or choose from
eight advanced trigger types to help you capture a specific signal fault or event.
Dual Triggers. Use the A (main) trigger system alone or add the B trigger to
capture more complex events. You can use the A and B triggers together to set
up a delay-by-time or delay-by-events trigger condition.
Comm Triggers. Optional on TDS7000 Series & TDS6000 Series. Use comm
triggers to trigger on communication signals.
