Scope Basics 101 / Getting the Most Out of Your DSO
Date: Tuesday, August 12, 2025
This seminar explains how to optimize oscilloscope bandwidth, sample rate, memory, and dynamic range, and overviews a wide range of scope hardware and software tools and capabilities for analysis and debug. Additional topics include avoiding quantization error, avoiding aliasing, waveform interpolation, enhanced resolution, segmented memory, histograms, tracks, trends, parameter pass/fail limit testing, hysteresis, gated measurements, parameter acceptance, waveform scanning, anomaly detection, FFTs, plotting and graphing, triggering, auto-saving, steps to maximize signal quality and efficiency of capturing, viewing, measuring, analyzing, and documenting results.
Power Measurement Techniques
Date: Wednesday, Aug 13, 2025
This seminar discusses power rail measurements, switchmode power supply (SMPS) measurements, and double pulse testing (DPT). Topics include rail probing, power rails, digital power management, power integrity, power sequencing, DC-DC converter operations under transient load conditions, techniques for characterizing and debugging switch mode power supplies, measuring safe operating area and control loop response analysis, automatic switching device measurements, transition losses, device saturation, conduction loss, dynamic-on resistance, safe operating area (SOA), capturing upper and lower gate drive signals, switch mode power supply control loop response analysis, dV/dt measurements, apparent power, real power, power factor, best practices for probing power circuits, methods for current and voltage deskew, power supply ripple measurements, analysis of power device switching losses, line power and current harmonics, total harmonic distortion, and double pulse testing.
3-phase Power and Inverter and Motor Drive Testing
Date: Thursday, August 14, 2025
This seminar focuses on static and dynamic measurements of three-phase and motor inverter and drive systems, three phase power measurements, and motor electromechanical performance characterization. Topics include hardware connectivity, probing, and software setup for three phase measurements, static and dynamic motor drive analysis, motor drive application examples, acquisition, calculated per-cycle waveforms to identify power section misbehaviors, variable frequency drive analysis, correlating per-cycle waveforms to acquired waveforms, harmonic measurements, and dynamic behavior of startup and overload conditions.
