SDAIII Jitter Calculation Algorithms

Describes the jitter algorithms used in SDAIII-CompleteLinQ serial data analysis

WaveScan in HDO Oscilloscopes

The WaveScan tool built into the HDO4000 and HDO6000 High Definition Oscilloscopes (HDOs) enables the instruments use more than 20 different search criteria to find anomalies in a captured waveform, or to scan live acquisitions for anywhere from a second to a day.

SDAIII Jitter Basics Using Jitter Sim

JitterSim is a math function, enabled by the Serial Data Analysis option, which allows various aspects of jitter to be simulated either singly or in groups. It is ideal for experimenting with how various jitter components are manifested in the jitter measurement displays available in SDAIII.

SDAIII Noise Analysis Using Jitter Sim

Vertical noise due to crosstalk or other EMI added to serial data transmissions can result in increased jitter and decreased reliability. In this tutorial we will investigate SDAIII’s Noise analysis capabilities.

SDAIII Crosstalk Measurements Using Jitter Sim

The “paralleling” of high speed serial data transmissions results in additional challenges. Crosstalk between lanes, or coupled from other sources, can impact signal integrity. In this tutorial we will investigate SDAIII’s crosstalk analysis capabilities.

Using the Teledyne LeCroy HDO Oscilloscopes with Power Analyzer Option

The Power Analyzer option available on the HDO4000 and HDO6000 High Definition Oscilloscopes provides exceptional ability to measure and analyze the operating characteristics of power conversion devices and circuits. Critical power switching device measurements, control loop modulation analysis, and line power harmonics testing is greatly simplified with this option

Spectrum Analyzer Mode in HDO Oscilloscopes

The Spectrum Analyzer mode provides a spectrum analyzer syle user interface for the HDO4000 and HDO6000 oscilloscopes simplifying how frequency content is viewed and analyzed.

Sequence Mode in HDO Oscilloscopes

Using Sequence Mode, High Definition Oscilloscopes (HDOs) from Teledyne LeCroy store thousands of trigger events as segments in acquisition memory. This fast-acquisition sampling mode offers fast trigger rates, time stamping of trigger events, and minimization of "dead time" between events.
