SEMINAR AGENDA
9:30AM - 10:00AM: Welcome, coffee and introductions
10:00AM - 12:00pm: Seminar
12:00PM - 12:30pm: Lunch/Break
12:30PM - 2:00pm: Hands-on session for participants
2:00PM: Seminar ends with presenters available for oscilloscope Q&A.
An oscilloscope is an essential tool for visualizing and analyzing electrical signals in real time. They are used in a wide range of fields, from the automotive industry, high-speed serial interfaces, signal integrity, power integrity, DDR, university research laboratories, to the aerospace-defense industry.
In this seminar we demonstrate 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.
During the second half of the seminar participants will get hands-on in groups to manage and drive the scope.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Configure hardware and software features for advanced debugging and signal characterization
- Minimize quantization error and aliasing, apply waveform interpolation, and utilize enhanced resolution modes
- Use segmented memory, gated measurements, and waveform scanning to isolate and analyze critical signal events
- Apply statistical and trend-based tools including histograms, tracks, trends, and parameter limit testing (pass/fail, hysteresis, acceptance windows)
- Set up advanced triggering schemes and anomaly detection workflows to capture rare or intermittent behaviors
- Perform frequency domain analysis using FFTs and spectral tools
- Automate data capture, visualization, and documentation with plotting, graphing, and auto-save features
Presenters:
Mike Hertz, Field Applications Engineering Manager, Teledyne LeCroy
Farooq Yousuf, Field Applications Engineer, Teledyne LeCroy
