Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes / Digital Serial Analyzers / Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes

DPOJET Jitter And Eye Diagram Analysis – Simplify identifying signal integrity

concerns, jitter, and their related sources with DPOJET software. DPOJET provides the

highest sensitivity and accuracy available for real-time oscilloscopes.

System Characterization and Margin Testing

When a design is working correctly and the next task is to fully characterize
its performance, the DSA70000B Series offers the industry’s most
comprehensive set of analysis and certification tools, such as math
expressions, waveform mask testing, pass/fail testing, event searching, and
event marking. Tools for automation reduce the tedium and speed up the
process of making hundreds of characterization measurements.

Advanced Waveform Analysis

Full analysis of the power, voltage, and temperature corners of your
system under test can be very time consuming. The DPO/DSA70000B
and MSO70000 Series offer a wide range of built-in advanced waveform
analysis tools.
Waveform cursors make it easy to measure trace-to-trace timing
characteristics, while cursors that link between YT and XY display modes
make it easy to investigate phase relationships and Safe Operating Area

violations. Select from 53 automatic measurements using a graphical
palette that logically organizes measurements into Amplitude, Time,
Histogram, and Communications categories. Gather further insight into your
measurement results with statistical data such as mean, min, max, standard
deviation, and population.
Define and apply math expressions to waveform data for on-screen results
in terms that you can use. Access common waveform math functions
with the touch of a button. Or, for advanced applications, create algebraic
expressions consisting of live waveforms, reference waveforms, math
functions, measurement values, scalars, and user-adjustable variables with
an easy-to-use calculator-style editor.
With deep acquisition memory, margin testing can be done over many
cycles and long duration trends in the data can be observed. Plus, data
from the oscilloscope can be captured into Microsoft Excel using the unique
Excel toolbar, and formatted into custom reports using the Word toolbar
provided with the DPO/DSA70000B and MSO70000 products.

Automated Tools to Increase Measurement Throughput

Ease of use and measurement throughput are key when a large number of
measurements must be completed with a performance oscilloscope. The
DSA70000B comes standard with the DPOJET Advanced Jitter and Eye
Diagram measurement application, providing the tools you need to quickly
perform a high volume of measurements and collect statistics. DPOJET is
available on the DPO70000B and MSO70000 as Option DJA. Application
specific measurement packages are also available that extend DPOJET
and perform the extensive set of tests required by industry standard groups.

RF and Vector Signal Analysis

When vector signal analysis of RF or baseband signals are needed
the optional SignalVu application enables measurements in multiple
domains (frequency, time, phase, modulation) simultaneously. SignalVu
measurements are fully correlated with the scope’s time domain acquisition
and triggering. Time domain events, such as commands to a RF
subsystem, can be used as trigger events, while the subsystem’s RF signal
can be seen in the frequency domain.
