Data Sheet
Safe operating area measurement. Automated power measurements enable quick and
accurate analysis of common power parameters.
Power Analysis (Optional)
Ever increasing consumer demand for longer battery-life devices and for
green solutions that consume less power require power-supply designers
to characterize and minimize switching losses to improve efficiency. In
addition, the supply’s power levels, output purity, and harmonic feedback
into the power line must be characterized to comply with national and
regional power quality standards. Historically, making these and many
other power measurements on an oscilloscope has been a long, manual,
and tedious process. The MSO/DPO4000 Series optional power analysis
tools greatly simplify these tasks, enabling quick and accurate analysis
of power quality, switching loss, harmonics, safe operating area (SOA),
modulation, ripple, and slew rate (di/dt, dv/dt). Completely integrated into
the oscilloscope, the power analysis tools provide automated, repeatable
power measurements with a touch of a button; no external PC or complex
software setup is required.
Viewing an NTSC video signal. Notice the intensity-graded view provided by the DPO’s
ability to represent time, amplitude, and distribution of amplitude over time.
Video Design and Development
Many video engineers have remained loyal to analog oscilloscopes,
believing the intensity gradations on an analog display are the only way
to see certain video waveform details. The MSO/DPO4000 Series fast
waveform capture rate, coupled with its intensity-graded view of the signal,
provides the same information-rich display as an analog oscilloscope, but
with much more detail and all the benefits of digital scopes.
Standard features such as IRE and mV graticules, holdoff by fields, video
polarity, and an Autoset smart enough to detect video signals, make the
MSO/DPO4000 Series the easiest to use oscilloscope on the market for
video applications. And with up to a 1 GHz bandwidth and four analog
inputs, the MSO/DPO4000 Series provides ample performance for analog
and digital video use.
The MSO/DPO4000 Series video functionality is further extended with
the optional DPO4VID video application module. DPO4VID provides the
industry’s most complete suite of HDTV and custom (nonstandard) video
triggers.
