Selection of FFT window

Mathematical storage oscillograph will carry out FFT conversion for time record with limited length when

assuming continuous repetition of YT waveform. YT waveform will have the same amplitude in beginning

and ending locations for no interrupation. However, high-frequency transient interruption will be caused in

connector due to different waveform amplitudes for non-integral cycle of YT waveform. Such effect shall be

called as leakage in frequency domain. Therefore, value in forced beginning and ending locations is 0 by

multiplying original waveform by a window function to avoid leakage. Please refer to following form for

application of window function.

41

display as practicable as possible. Term explanations 1. Trigger source: To gain trigger from many kinds of information sources, namely, input channel (CH1 & CH2), external trigger (EXT & EXT/5) and municipal power. Input channel: The most common trigger information source is (optional) input channel. Selected one is used as channel of trigger information source for normal operation regardless of input display. External trigger: Such trigger information source can be used for trigger on the third information channel during synchronous data acquisition on 2 channels. For instance, signals from external clock or circuit to measure can be used as trigger information source. EXT and EXT/5 trigger sources shall use external trigger signals

connected to EXT TRIG interface. Signal can be used for EXT and EXT can be used within signal trigger level scope of -3V to +3V. It is allowed to select EXT/5 for oscillograph of 5.7inch screen. Outer trigger shall be divided by 5 so that trigger scope can expand to -15V to +15V for trigger of digital storage oscillograph under large signal. Municipal power: Such trigger mode can be used to observe signal with regard to municipal power. For instance, it can provide relationship between lighting equipment and power supply equipment so as to gain stable synchronization. 2 . Trigger mode: It is to determine behavior mode of digital storage oscillograph without trigger event. This digital storage oscillograph can also provide 3 triggers, namely, automatic, normal and single trigger modes. Automatic trigger: The system will acquire

waveform data automatically so as to display scanning base line on the screen without trigger signal input. It will convert to trigger scanning automatically for signal synchronization when producing trigger signal. Note: Without trigger signal is allowed under ” automatic” mode when setting scanning waveform to 5-ms/div or less time base. Normal trigger: Digital storage oscillograph can not acquire waveform until meeting trigger conditions under ordinary trigger mode. Trigger scanning can be produced when producing trigger signal. Single trigger: User can press “operation” button once under single trigger mode for entry and trigger waiting for digital storage oscillograph. It will sample and display all acquired waveform then stop after digital storage oscillograph detects once trigger.

42

3.Trigger coupling: Trigger coupling can determine category of signal component conveyed to trigger circuit. Coupling types include DC, AC, lowfrequency inhibition and high-frequency inhibition. Pass through all components of signals under DC mode. Obstruct DC components with signal attenuation to be less than 400Hz under AC mode. Obstruct DC components with attenuation of low-frequency component of less than 80kHz under “low-frequency inhibition” mode. Attenuate high-frequency components of more than 80kHz under “high-frequency inhibition” mode. 4. Pre-trigger/delay trigger: To trigger data acquired in ahead/after event. Trigger position is often set in the horizontal center on the screen. You can observe pre-trigger and delay information of 5div (or 6div). You can also rotate horizontal position to regulate horizontal displacement of waveform and
43

review more pre-trigger details. You can observe waveform in ahead of trigger by observing pretrigger data. For instance, burring reason can be shown by observation and analysis on pre-trigger data after capturing burring during circuit startup.

Please select average sampling mode with step of multiples of 2 for average value to reduce random noise of displayed signal. Average times can be selected form 2 to 256.
46

Term explanation Real-time sampling: It refers to data required for once acquisition. Equivalent sampling: It refers to repeated sampling mode. It can facilitate careful observation of repeated periodic signals. It can be adopted to gain horizontal resolution which is higher than real-time sampling resolution greatly. Sampling mode: It can be classified into equivalent and real-time modes. Peak-value detection mode: Digital storage oscillograph will find out the maximum and minimum input signals within every sampling interval for waveform display by using such values under such obtainment mode. It can also obtain and display narrow impulse or they may be omitted for larger noise under such mode. Average mode is as follows: Digital storage oscillograph may obtain several waveform and calculate average value then display final waveform under this obtainment mode. Such mode can be adopted to reduce random noise.
