Mixed-Signal Oscilloscopes

The Oscilloscopes at a Glance

Display shows current input signals

• All analog and digital (54621D/22D)

channels displayed in main and

delayed mode

• Indicators for channel, time base,

digital (54621D/22D) channel activity,

trigger and acquisition status

• Softkey labels

• Measurement results

Digitalchannelcontrolsselect,position,

and label inputs (54621D/22D)

• Turn channels on or off individually or

in groups of 8

• Rearrange order of channelsto group

related signals

• Create and display labels to identify

channels

General controls measure, save and

restore results, and configure the

oscilloscope

• Waveform math including FFT,

subtract, multiply, integrate, and

differentiate

• Use Quick meas to make automatic

measurements

• Use cursors to make manual

measurements

• Save or recall measurement

configurations or previous results

• Autoscale performs simple one-

button setup of the oscilloscope

Horizontal Controls select sweep speed

and delay parameters

• Sweep speeds from 5 ns to 50 s/div

• Delay control moves waveform

display to point of interest

• Delayed mode and delay allow

zooming in to show a portion of

waveform in detail (split screen)

Run control keys begin and end data

acquisition

• Run/Stop starts and stops continuous

acquisitions

• Single performs one acquisition

• Infinite persistence accumulates and

displays the results of multiple

acquisitions

Trigger keys define what data the

oscilloscope will trigger on

• Source key allows conventional

oscilloscope triggering

• Modes include Edge, Pulse Width,

Pattern, TV, Sequence, I2C, and

Duration triggering.

Softkeys extend the functionality of

command keys

Select measurement types, operating

modes, trigger specifications, label data,

and more

Channel inputs through a flexible

probing system (54621D/22D)

• Sixteen channels through a dual 8-

channel cable with micro-clips

• Set logic levels as TTL, CMOS, ECL, or

to a user-definable voltage

Utilities

• Dedicated parallel printer port,

controller operation, floppy disk

storage

Built in Quick Help system

• Pressandholdanykeyfront-panelkey

or softkey to get help in 9 languages.
