Analysis

Most Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes calculate measurements for all instances in the acquisition,
enabling you to rapidly and thoroughly analyze a long memory acquisition of thousands or millions of
parameter values to find anomalous measurements, or to apply a variety of mathematical functions to the
waveform trace.

These measurements and manipulations of the original input signal can be viewed in several graphical
formats to facilitate your analysis.

l

Trends provide a view of a measurement parameter over an extended period of time and over mul-
tiple acquisitions. See

View Trend

.

There are also conditional tests that can be applied to the data to find particular events:

l

Pass/Fail Testing

finds normal/abnormal measurements as indicated by whether or not they meet

a set of defined criteria.

l

WaveScan

searches a single acquisition for events that meet specific criteria, enabling you to zoom

in on anomalies in the waveform, or scans multiple acquisitions with allowable trigger actions when
conditions are met. It can also be used to filter measurements. A variety of views help you under-
stand the behavior of waveforms.

Finally,

History Mode

facilitates analysis by enabling you to quickly return the waveform display to any

point in an acquisition history.

Optional software packages may be purchases that simplify specialized analysis, such as various Serial
Data Decode options. These all add new methods to those available on the oscilloscope Analysis menu.
