Then, push the UTILITY button, select the Do Self Cal option and follow thedirections on the screen..DSO5000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope User Manual 8
Main Feature Description Chapter 4 Main Feature DescriptionThis chapter provides some general information that you need to learn before using anoscilloscope. It contains:1. Oscilloscope setup2. Trigger3. Data acquisition4. Waveform scaling and positioning5. Waveform measurement4.1 Oscilloscope SetupWhile operating the oscilloscope, you may often use three features: Autoset, saving a setup andrecalling a setup. Hereinafter they are introduced one by one.Autoset: This function can be used to adjust the horizontal and vertical scales of the oscilloscopeautomatically and set the trigger coupling, type, position, slope, level and mode, etc., to acquire astable waveform display.Saving a Setup: By default, the oscilloscope will save the setup each time before being closed,and automatically recall the setup once being turned on. (Note: If you modify the setup, pleasewait for more than 5 seconds before turning off the oscilloscope to ensure the properstorage of new settings.) You can save 10 settings permanently in the oscilloscope and resetthem as necessary.Recalling a Setup: The oscilloscope can recall any of your saved setups or the default factorysetup.Default Setup: The oscilloscope is preset for normal operations when it is shipped from thefactory. This is the default setup. You may recall this setup at any time for your requirements. Toview the default settings, refer to Section 220.127.116.11.2 TriggerThe trigger determines when the oscilloscope begins to acquire data and display a waveform.Once a trigger is properly set up, the oscilloscope can convert unstable displays or blank screensto meaningful waveforms. Here introduce some basic concepts about trigger.Trigger Source: The trigger can be generated with multiple sources. The most common one isthe input channel (alternative between CH1 and CH2). Whether the input signal is displayed ornot, it can trigger normal operations. Also the trigger source can be any signal connected to anexternal trigger channel or the AC power line (only for Edge triggers). The source with the ACpower line shows the frequency relationship between the signal and the AC commercial power.Trigger Type: The oscilloscope has six types of triggers: Edge, Video, Pulse Width, Slope,Overtime and Swap.DSO5000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope User Manual 9
Main Feature Description Ø Edge Trigger uses the analog or digital test circuits for triggering. It happens when the input trigger source crosses a specified level in a specified direction. Ø Video Trigger performs a field or line trigger through standard video signals. Ø Pulse Width Trigger can trigger normal or abnormal pulses that meet trigger conditions. Ø Slope Trigger uses the rise and fall times on the edge of signal for triggering. Ø Overtime Trigger happens after the edge of signal reaches the set time. Ø Swap Trigger, as a feature of analog oscilloscopes, gives stable displays of signals at two different frequencies. Mainly it uses a specific frequency to switch between two analog channels CH1 and CH2 so that the channels will generate swap trigger signals through the trigger circuitry.Trigger Mode: You can select the Auto or Normal mode to define how the oscilloscope acquiresdata when it does not detect a trigger condition. Auto Mode performs the acquisition freely inabsence of valid trigger. It allows the generation of untriggered waveforms with the time baseset to 80ms/div or slower. Normal Mode updates the displayed waveforms only when theoscilloscope detects a valid trigger condition. Before this update, the oscilloscope still displaysthe old waveforms. This mode shall be used when you want to only view the effectively triggeredwaveforms. In this mode, the oscilloscope displays waveforms only after the first trigger. Toperform a single sequence acquisition, push the SINGLE SEQ button.Trigger Coupling: Trigger Coupling determines which part of the signal will be delivered to thetrigger circuit. This can help to obtain a stable display of the waveform. To use trigger coupling,push the TRIG MENU button, select an Edge or Pulse trigger, and then select a Coupling option.Trigger Position: The horizontal position control establishes the time between the triggerposition and the screen center.Slope and Level: The Slope and Level controls help to define the trigger. The Slope optiondetermines whether the trigger point is on the rising or falling edge of a signal. To perform thetrigger slope control, press the TRIG MENU button, select an Edge trigger, and use the Slopebutton to select rising or falling. The TRIGGER LEVEL knob controls the trigger point is on whichposition of the edge. Trigger level can be adjusted vertically Rising Edge Falling Edge Trigger slope can be rising or falling4.3 Data AcquisitionWhen you acquire an analog signal, the oscilloscope will convert it into a digital one. Thereare two kinds of acquisition: Real-time acquisition and Equivalent acquisition. The real-timeacquisition has three modes: Normal, Peak Detect, and Average. The acquisition rate is affectedby the setting of time base.Normal: In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope samples the signal in evenly spaced intervalsto establish the waveform. This mode accurately represents signals in most time. However, itdoes not acquire rapid variations in the analog signal that may occur between two samples,which can result in aliasing and may cause narrow pulses to be missed. In such cases, youshould use the Peak Detect mode to acquire data.DSO5000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope User Manual 10
Main Feature DescriptionPeak Detect: In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope gets the maximum and minimum valuesof the input signal over each sample interval and uses these values to display the waveform. Inthis way, the oscilloscope can acquire and display those narrow pulses that may have otherwisebeen missed in Normal mode. However, noise will appear to be higher in this mode.Average: In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope acquires several waveforms, averages them,and displays the resulting waveform. You can use this mode to reduce random noise.Equivalent Acquisition: This kind of acquisition can be utilized for periodic signals. In case theacquisition rate is too low when using the real-time acquisition, the oscilloscope will use a fixedrate to acquire data with a stationary tiny delay after each acquisition of a frame of data. Afterrepeating this acquisition for N times, the oscilloscope will arrange the acquired N frames of databy time to make up a new frame of data. Then the waveform can be recovered. The number oftimes N is related to the equivalent acquisition rate.Time Base: The oscilloscope digitizes waveforms by acquiring the value of an input signal atdiscrete points. The time base helps to control how often the values are digitized. Use the SEC/DIV knob to adjust the time base to a horizontal scale that suits your purpose.4.4 Waveform Scaling and PositioningThe display of waveforms on the screen can be changed by adjusting their scale and position.Once the scale changes, the waveform display will increase or decrease in size. Once theposition changes, the waveform will move up, down, right, or left.The channel reference indicator (located on the left of the graticule) identifies each waveform onthe screen. It points to the ground level of the waveform record.Vertical Scale and Position: The vertical position of a waveform can be changed by moving itup and down on the screen. To compare data, you may align a waveform over another. Whenyou push the VOLTS/DIV button to change the vertical scale of a waveform, the waveform displaywill contract or expand vertically to the ground level.Horizontal Scale and Position: Pretrigger InformationYou can adjust the HORIZONTAL POSITION control to view waveform data before the trigger,after the trigger, or some of each. When you change the horizontal position of a waveform, youare actually changing the time between the trigger position and the screen center.For example, if you want to find out the cause of a glitch in your test circuit, you should triggeron the glitch and make the pretrigger period long enough to capture data before the glitch. Thenyou can analyze the pretrigger data and perhaps find the cause. You are allowed to change thehorizontal scale of all the waveforms by turning the SEC/DIV knob. For example, you may wantto see just one cycle of a waveform to measure the overshoot on its rising edge. The oscilloscopeshows the horizontal scale as time per division in the scale readout. Since all active waveformsuse the same time base, the oscilloscope only displays one value for all the active channels.4.5 Waveform MeasurementThe oscilloscope displays graphs of voltage versus time and can help to measure the displayedwaveform. There are several ways to take measurements, using the graticule, the cursors orperforming an automatic measurement.Graticule: This method allows you to make a quick, visual estimate and take a simplemeasurement through the graticule divisions and the scale factor.For example, you can take simple measurements by counting the major and minor graticuleDSO5000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope User Manual 11
Main Feature Descriptiondivisions involved and multiplying by the scale factor. If you counted 6 major vertical graticuledivisions between the minimum and maximum values of a waveform and knew you had a scalefactor of 50mV/division, you could easily calculate your peak-to-peak voltage as follows: 6 divisions x 50mV/division = 300mV.Cursor: This method allows you to take measurements by moving the cursors. Cursors alwaysappear in pairs and the displayed readouts are just their measured values. There are two kindsof cursors: Amplitude Cursor and Time Cursor. The amplitude cursor appear as a horizontalbroken line, measuring the vertical parameters. The time cursor appear as a vertical broken line,measuring the horizontal parameters.When using cursors, please make sure to set the Source to the waveform that you want tomeasure on the screen. To use cursors, push the CURSOR button. Cursor CursorAutomatic Measurement: The oscilloscope performs all the calculations automatically inthis mode. As this measurement uses the waveform record points, it is more precise than thegraticule and cursor measurements. Automatic measurements show the measurement results byreadoutswhich are periodically updated with the new data acquired by the oscilloscopeDSO5000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope User Manual 12

Three types of window available for selection: Hanning, Flattop, Rectangular. FFT CH1 or CH2 Zoom: Use the FFT Zoom button to adjust the window size. Scale: x1, x2, x5, x10.Note: All selected menus are highlighted in orange.5.3.1 Math FFTThis chapter elaborates how to use the Math FFT (Fast Fourier Transform). You can use theMath FFT mode to convert a time-domain (YT) signal into its frequency components (spectrum),and to observe the following types of signals:Ø Analyze harmonics in power cords;Ø Measure harmonic content and distortion in systems;Ø Characterize noise in DC power supplies;Ø Test impulse response of filters and systems;Ø Analyze vibration.To use the Math FFT mode, perform the following tasks:DSO5000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope User Manual 19
Basic OperationØ Set the source (time-domain) waveform;Ø Display the FFT spectrum;Ø Choose a type of FFT window;Ø Adjust the sample rate to display the fundamental frequency and harmonics without aliasing;Ø Use zoom controls to magnify the spectrum;Ø Use cursors to measure the spectrum.184.108.40.206 Setting Time-domain WaveformIt is necessary to set the time-domain (YT) waveform before using the FFT mode. Follow thesteps below.1. Push the AUTOSET button to display a YT waveform.2. Turn the VERTICAL POSITION knob to vertically move the YT waveform to the center (zero division) so as to ensure the FFT will display a true DC value.3. Turn the HORIZONTAL POSITION knob to position the part of the YT waveform to be analyzed in the center eight divisions of the screen. The oscilloscope uses the 2048 center points of the time-domain waveform to calculate the FFT spectrum.4. Turn the VOLTS/DIV knob to ensure the entire waveform remains on the screen. If the entire waveform is invisible, the oscilloscope may display wrong FFT results by adding high- frequency components.5. Turn the SEC/DIV knob to provide the resolution you need in the FFT spectrum.6. If possible, set the oscilloscope to display multiple signal cycles.If you turn the SEC/DIV knob to select a faster setting (fewer cycles), the FFT spectrum willdisplay a larger frequency range and reduce the possibility of FFT aliasing.To set the FFT display, follow the steps below.1. Push the MATH MENU button;2. Set the Operation option to FFT;3. Select the Math FFT Source channel.In many situations, the oscilloscope can also generate a useful FFT spectrum despite the YTwaveform not being triggered. This is especially true if the signal is periodic or random (such asnoise).Note: You should trigger and position transient or burst waveforms as close as possible tothe screen center.Nyquist FrequencyThe highest frequency that any real-time digital oscilloscope can measure without errors is halfof the sample rate, which is called the Nyquist frequency. Frequency information beyond theNyquist frequency is undersampled which brings about the FFT aliasing. The math function canconvert the center 2048 points of the time-domain waveform to an FFT spectrum. The resultingFFT spectrum contains 1024 points from DC (0Hz) to the Nyquist frequency. Usually, the screencompresses the FFT spectrum horizontally to 250 points, but you can use the FFT Zoom functionto expand the FFT spectrum so that you can clearly view the frequency components at each ofthe 1024 data points in the FFT spectrum.Note: The oscilloscope's vertical response is a little bit larger than its bandwidth (60MHz,100MHz or 200MHz, depending on the model; or 20MHz when the Bandwidth Limit optionis set to Limited). Therefore, the FFT spectrum can display valid frequency informationabove the oscilloscope bandwidth. However, the amplitude information near or above theDSO5000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope User Manual 20

Use the options to select the Sourcechannel, the Window algorithm and the FFT Zoom factor. Only one FFT spectrum can bedisplayed at a time.Math FFT Options Settings CommentsSource CH1, CH2 Choose a channel to be the FFT source. Hanning, Flattop, Select a type of the FFT window.

Vertical scale in dB per division (0dB=1VRMS)3. Horizontal scale in frequency per division4. Sample rate in number of samples per second5. FFT window type188.8.131.52 Selecting FFT WindowUsing windows can eliminate the spectral leakage in the FFT spectrum. The FFT algorithmassumes that the YT waveform repeats all the time. When the number of cycles is integral (1, 2,3 ...), the YT waveform starts and ends at the same amplitude and there are no discontinuities inthe signal shape.If the number of cycles is nonintegral, the YT waveform starts and ends at different amplitudesand transitions between the start and end points will cause discontinuities in the signal thatintroduces high-frequency transients.DSO5000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope User Manual 21
Basic OperationApplying a window to the YT waveform changes the waveform so that the start and stop valuesare close to each other, which reduces the discontinuities.The Math FFT function has three FFT Window options. There is a trade-off between frequencyresolution and amplitude accuracy for each type of window. You shall determine which one tochoose according to the object you want to measure and the source signal characteristics.Window Measurement CharacteristicsHanning Periodic Waveform Better frequency, poorer amplitude accuracy than FlattopFlattop Periodic Waveform Better amplitude, poorer frequency accuracy than Hanning Pulse or Transient Special-purpose window applicable to discontinuousRectangular Waveform waveforms. This is actually the same as no windows.DSO5000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope User Manual 22
Basic Operation188.8.131.52 FFT AliasingProblems occur when the time-domain waveform acquired by the oscilloscope contains frequencycomponents higher than the Nyquist frequency. The frequency components above the Nyquistfrequency will be undersampled and displayed as lower frequency components that 'fold back'from the Nyquist frequency. These erroneous components are called aliases.22.214.171.124 Eliminating AliasesTo eliminate aliases, use the following methods.Ø Turn the SEC/DIV knob to set a faster sample rate. Because the Nyquist frequency increases as you increase the sample rate, the aliased frequency components will be displayed correct. If too many frequency components appear on the screen, you may use the FFT Zoom option to magnify the FFT spectrum.Ø If there is no need to observe the frequency components above 20MHz, set the Bandwidth Limit option to Limited.Ø Filter the signal input from outside and limit the bandwidth of the source waveform to lower than the Nyquist frequency.Ø Identify and ignore the aliased frequencies.Ø Use zoom controls and cursors to magnify and measure the FFT spectrum.188.8.131.52 Magnifying and Positioning FFT SpectrumYou may scale the FFT spectrum and use cursors to measure it through the FFT Zoom optionwhich enables the horizontal magnification. To vertically magnify the spectrum, use the verticalcontrols.Horizontal Zoom and PositionYou can use the FFT Zoom option to magnify the FFT spectrum horizontally without changing thesample rate. The available zoom factors are X1(default), X2, X5 and X10. When the zoom factoris set to X1 and the waveform is located at the center graticule, the left graticule line is at 0Hz andthe right is at the Nyquist frequency.You magnifies the FFT spectrum to the center graticule line when you change the zoom factor.That is, the axis for horizontal magnification is the center graticule line. Turn the HorizontalPosition knob clockwise to move the FFT spectrum to the right. Push the SET TO ZERO button toposition the center spectrum at the center of the graticule.Vertical Zoom and PositionWhen the FFT spectrum is being displayed, the channel vertical knobs become the zoom andposition controls corresponding to their respective channels. The VOLTS/DIV knob provides thefollowing zoom factors: X1(default), X2, X5 and X10. The FFT spectrum is magnified verticallyto the marker M (math waveform reference point on the left edge of the screen). Turn theVERTICAL POSITION knob clockwise to move up the spectrum.188.8.131.52 Using Cursors to Measure FFT SpectrumYou may use cursors to take two measurements on the FFT spectrum: amplitude (in dB) andfrequency (in Hz). Amplitude is referenced to 0db that equals 1VRMS here. You may use cursorsto measure at any zoom factor.DSO5000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope User Manual 23
Basic OperationPush the CURSOR button, choose the Source option and then select Math. Press the Typeoption button to select between Amplitude and Frequency. Click the SELECT CURSOR optionto choose a cursor. Then use the V0 knobs to move Cursor S and Cursor E. Use the horizontalcursor to measure the amplitude and the vertical cursor to measure the frequency. Now thedisplay at the DELTA menu is just the measured value, and the values at Cursor S and Cursor E.Delta is the absolute value of Cursor S minus Cursor E. Frequency Cursors Amplitude Cursors5.4 Trigger ControlsThe trigger can be defined through the Trigger Menu and front-panel controls. There are six typesof trigger: Edge, Video, Pulse Width, Swap, Slope and Overtime. Refer to the following tables tofind a different set of options for each type of trigger.1.

Select the input source as the trigger signal. CH1, CH2: No matter the waveform is displayed or not, a certain channel will be triggered. CH1 EXT: Does not display the trigger signal and allows a CH2 trigger level range of +1.6V to -1.6V.Source EXT EXT/5: Same as EXT option, but attenuates the signal by EXT/5 a factor of 5 and allows a trigger level range of +8V to - AC Line 8V. AC Line: Uses a signal derived from the power cord as the trigger source. Select a trigger mode. By default, the oscilloscope uses the Auto mode. In this mode, the oscilloscope is forced to trigger when it does not detect a trigger within a certain amount of time based on the SEC/DIV setting. The oscilloscope goes into the AutoMode scan mode at 80ms/div or slower time base settings. Normal In the Normal mode, the oscilloscope updates the display only when it detects a valid trigger condition. New waveforms are not displayed until they replace old ones. Use this mode to just view valid triggered waveforms. Only after the first trigger does the display appear. DSO5000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscope User Manual 25

Q So he [Attorney General nominee Mike Mukasey] wrote this letter to the 10 Democrats who sit on the Judiciary Committee, and he said, "waterboarding, as it's been described to him, is repugnant." And I'm just wondering, in your view, can something be repugnant but also legal?
MS. PERINO: Look, as I said, I'm not going to comment on any techniques, I'm not going to comment on any of it. That was his personal view, and the senators, if they want to ask him more questions about that, should confirm him and then they'd have the opportunity to do so.

Hey, I'm Brittani!
Hi! I'm Brittani -- I'm in my mid-twenties and I live and work in San Francisco. I'm always up for fun travel and outdoorsy activities, and I've also started traveling a little more for work lately -- I love seeing new places! Since moving to the Bay Area in 2011, I've loved how many opportunities there are to just get out and do things, whether that's hiking, kayaking, concerts with friends, or just a beach day.
I'm really big into being neat and clean at my own house and will treat your space the same way! I'm organized and attentive to detail -- I work as a researcher :) -- and always try my best to be a considerate guest, since I know what it's like to be a host to friends (seems like everyone always wants to crash at my place since I've moved to CA :)! I'm laid back, upbeat, and flexible, but also responsible. I also don't smoke or have pets, no drugs, etc, so I'll be a clean, easy guest who won't leave a trace :)

ROME — Italy saw its borrowing rates fall for the second day running on Thursday but the country's new premier said his government had a lot more to do to convince nervous financial markets that it had a plan to deal with its debt mountain.
Mario Monti said he was encouraged by two days of bond auctions and that his government of technocrats, in office for just a month and a half following the resignation of Silvio Berlusconi's government, was working intensively on preparing a package of measures to get the Italian economy moving again, including efforts to boost competition and liberalize the labor market.
"We absolutely don't consider the market turbulence to be over," he said in a press conference just after the Bank of Italy reported that the country had tapped investors to the tune of around €7 billion ($9.2 billion) in a range of auctions.
The most keenly-awaited result from Thursday's batch of auctions was the €2.5 billion ($3.3 billion) sale of ten-year bonds at an average yield of 6.98 percent. That's lower than the 7.56 percent it had to pay at an equivalent auction last month, when investor concerns over the ability of the country to service its massive debts became particularly acute.
However, the country's borrowing rate on the key 10-year bond remains uncomfortably close to the 7 percent level widely considered to be unsustainable in the long run. Greece, Ireland and Portugal all had to request financial bailouts after their 10-year bond yields pushed above 7 percent. In the secondary markets, Italy's yield continues to hover around the 7 percent mark.
Markets had grown fearful over the past few months that Italy will find it difficult to pay off its massive debts, which stand at around €1.9 trillion ($2.5 trillion). Next year alone, Italy has some €330 billion ($431 billion) of debt to refinance.
Italy, which is the eurozone's third-largest economy, also sold €2.54 billion ($3.3 billion) of 3 year bonds at an average interest rate of 5.62 percent, far lower than the 7.89 percent rate it had to pay last month. It also raised €803 million ($1.05 billion) in the 7-year auction at a rate of 7.42 percent and €1.18 billion ($1.54 billion) in nine-year bonds at a yield of 6.7 percent.
Thursday's results come a day after Italy raised €10.7 billion ($14 billion) in a pair of auctions, again at sharply lower rates than those it was forced to pay just a month ago.
The sharp decline in Italy's borrowing costs over the past couple of days suggests that commercial banks from the 17 countries that use the euro may have diverted some money they tapped from emergency loans from the European Central Bank last week to buy the bonds of heavily indebted governments.
It may also suggest rising investor confidence in Italy's recent efforts to reduce its long-term debt through a variety of austerity measures.
Monti's technocratic government got parliamentary approval last week for more spending cuts and tax increases intended to save the country from financial disaster. One of the most controversial aspects of the austerity package is reform of Italy's bloated pension system.

Fig & Prosciutto Pizza
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: My family LOVES pizza. While a plain mozzarella pie totally satisfies, I'm always trying to come up with variations that'll keep things exciting. This is all about sweet and salty, with the earthy sweetness of the figs enhanced by a bit of marmalade. —One Hungry Mama
Makes large pie
- 1 round pizza dough
- olive oil
- 3 tablespoons apricot marmalade
- 1/4 pound gorgonzola
- 1/4 pound prosciutto
- 6 fresh figs, cut into quarters
- 1 tablespoon rosemary, chopped
- salt & pepper
- balsamic vinegar (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the meantime, coat a rimmed cookie sheet with oil. Spread pizza dough evenly over the oiled sheet, making a thicker crust around the edges. Spread olive oil over the top of the dough.
- Use a small spoon to dot the dough with the marmalade. Crumble 3/4 of the cheese around the dough. Lay prosciutto on top, around the dough (I like to split each slice in half). Dot the pizza with figs. Crumble the last bit of cheese across all of the toppings.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper and rosemary. Bake for about 50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. If you like, drizzle the entire pizza with balsamic vinegar after about 40 minutes.
