VIDEO: FastAcq in Tektronix Series 3000 Oscilloscopes
Advanced acquisition concepts are demonstrated in the Tektronix MDO3104 Oscilloscope. We’ll look at the FastAcq capability in the amazing Tektronix MDO 3000 Series oscilloscope, together with some related signal acquisition concepts. We’re feeding a simple sine wave from the internal arbitrary function generator into one of the analog channel inputs, whereupon it is digitized, placed […]
VIDEO: Capacitance Measurements Using Various Test Instruments
Capacitance is measured using a multimeter, LCR meter and oscilloscope. Ordinarily, capacitors are provided with the metrics – capacitance and working volts – printed or color-coded on the component. The capacitance as labeled is generally accurate to a reasonable tolerance. For most applications a wide range of values will perform as expected. As for working […]
VIDEO: Converting Square Wave to Sine Wave
A 680 pf capacitor is used to make a low-pass filter, removing high-frequency harmonics in order to transform a square wave into a crude sine wave. Hi and welcome to our 64th Test and Measurement video. Today we’ll look at an easy and very inexpensive way in this Tektronix MDO 3000 Series oscilloscope to convert […]
