Software. A control computer running WINDOWS XP™ provides display, I/O and system
memory functions for the instrument. Each channel contains a dedicated floating-point DSP,
FPGA and memory to perform the measurement functions. Software updates are easily made
using a USB memory drive.
Auto-Setup. The instrument will automatically select a vertical scale, vertical offset, timebase,
holdoff and trigger level to display at least one pulse period at full amplitude of the full waveform.
Menu-Driven Operation. Setup and control of the instrument is menu-driven to simplify
operation. User-selected parameters appear in a menu to the right of the waveform, together with
applicable variables. Selections are arranged opposite adjacent ―soft keys‖ that select parameters
and activate data entry controls. Required numerical values are entered through the keypad, arrow
keys or spin knob.
Help Displays. Context-sensitive HELP screens are accessible at the touch of a key for all menus.
The HELP information guides the user step-by-step to assure accurate instrument setup.
