– Key Features
Acquisition & Analysis. WaveScan™ searches data streams for rare events and anomalies. LabNotebook™ enables annotation and documentation of findings directly on waveforms. Advanced math functions include FFT, trending, tracking, and multiple persistence views alongside dozens of standard measurements.
Triggering. Standard edge, pulse width, runt, window, logic, setup & hold, rise/fall time, pattern, and video triggers. Serial protocol triggers support I2C, SPI, UART, RS-232, LIN, and CAN with optional AudioBus and MIL-STD-1553. SMART triggers isolate specific events including glitches down to 500 ps, slew rates, and logic dropouts. Pattern logic combines up to five inputs with AND/NAND/OR/NOR operations. Qualified triggering enables A/B condition pairing.
Acquisition Modes. Single-shot sampling, sequence sampling for segmented capture, and RIS sampling for elevated effective sample rates. WaveStream™ fast viewing delivers phosphor-like analog trace rendering with adjustable intensity.
Customization. User-defined math functions, filters, measurements, and scripts execute in real time. Optional jitter and timing analysis software packages available.
– Mixed Signal Expansion
Upgrade to MS-500 or MS-250 options for digital channel capture up to 500 MHz: 18 or 36 channels with 50 Mpts/Ch memory.
– Typical Applications
Signal integrity analysis, protocol debug, power delivery validation, general analog troubleshooting, and timing characterization in embedded and communications system development.
