Adjusting HoIdoff Time
You can adjust the holdoff time to observe complicated
waveforms (e.g. pulse string series). Holdoff time
means adjusting the data acquisition cycle of the digital
storage Oscilloscope. lt is an exact multiple of the
cycle of the complicated waveform being tested, thus
synchronization is possible.
For example, if the signals being tested are a group
of wave signals, apply them to Channel A then press
[TRlGGER] to select edge trigger mode. Next press [F5]
to activate holdoff adjustment and adjust holdoff time
with the jog dial. Holdoff time will change accordingly
until waveform display is stable, as shown in the fgure
below.
Note : Holdoff time is usually slightly shorter than
the "large cycle time. When observing the RS232
communication signal, it is easier to achieve stable
synchronization of holdoff time is slightly shorter than
the starting edge time of every set of data.

AIternate Trigger
When alternate trigger is selected, trigger signals will
be present in their individual vertical channels. This
triggering mode is suitable for observing two signals of
uncorrelated signal frequencies, as shown in the fgure
below.
Figure 2-19 Alternate trigger
Alternate trigger can also be used to compare pulse
widths.
Denitions
1.Trigger source : Trigger can be obtained from various
sources : lnput channel (A or B) and alternate.
Input ChanneI : The most common trigger source
is input channel (choose A or B). The channel selected
as trigger source can operate normally only when the
corresponding input channel is on.
2.Tri gger mode : Determine t he acti on of your
Oscilloscope at trigger by selecting the mode. This
Oscilloscope offers three trigger modes for selection :
auto, normal and single.
Auto Trigger : The system will acquire waveform
data automatically when there is no trigger signal input.
The scan baseline is shown on the display. When the
trigger signal is generated, it automatically turns to
trigger scan for signal synchronization.
Note : When time base of the scan range is set to
50ms/div or slower, the Oscilloscope will enter the "Scan
mode.
NormaI Trigger : ln this mode, your Oscilloscope
samples waveforms only when triggering conditions are
met. The system stops acquiring data and waits when
&$
UTD1000 User Manual
there is no trigger signal. When the trigger signal is
generated, trigger scan occurs.
SingIe Trigger : ln this mode, you only have to
press the "Run button once and the Oscilloscope
will wait for trigger. One sampling will occur and the
acquired waveform will be displayed when the digital
storage Oscilloscope detects a trigger. Then trigger will
stop.
3.Trigger coupIing : Trigger coupling determines which
quantities of the signal are transmitted to the trigger
circuit. Coupling modes are DC, AC, low frequency
suppression and high frequency suppression.
DC : Allowing all quantities to pass.
AC : lntercepting DC quantities and attenuating
signals under 10Hz.
Low Frequency Suppression : lntercepting DC
quantities and attenuating low frequency quantities
under 80kHz.
High Frequency Suppression : Attenuating high
frequency quantities over 80kHz.
4.Pretrigger/DeIayed Trigger : Data sampled before/
after triggering.
The trigger position is typically set at the horizontal
center of the screen. ln this case, you are able to
view 6 divisions of pretrigger and delayed information.
Adjusting the horizontal position of the waveform allows
you to see more pretrigger information. By observing
pretrigger data, you can see the waveform before
trigger occurs. For example, you can detect the glitch
that occurs when the circuitry starts. Observation and
analysis of trigger data can help you identify the cause
of glitch.

Assuming the YT waveform is constantly repeating
itself, the Oscilloscope will carry out FFT conversion
of time record of a limited length. When this cycle is a
whole number, the YT waveform will have the same
amplitude at the start and fnish. There is no waveform
interruption. However, if the YT waveform cycle is not a
whole number, there will be different amplitudes at the
start and fnish, resulting in transient interruption of high
frequency at the connection point. ln frequency domain,
this is known as leakage. To avoid leakage, multiply
the original waveform by one window function to set
the value at 0 for start and finish compulsively. For
application of the window function, please see the table
below :
FFT spectrum anaIysis
By using the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) algorithm,
you can convert time domain signals (YT) into frequency
domain signals. With FFT, you can conveniently observe
the following types of signals :
Measure the harmonic wave composition and
distortion of the system
Demonstrate the noise characteristics of the DC

FFT recognition rate : lt means the quotient of the sampling and math points. When maths point value is fxed, the
sampling rate should be as low as possible.
Nyquist frequency : To rebuild the original waveform, at least 2f sampling rate should be used for waveform with a
maximum frequency of f. This is known as Nyquist stability criterion, where f is the Nyquist frequency and 2f is the
Nyquist sampling rate.

setting must not be slower than that of the main time
base, as illustrated by the following fgure
Horizontal extension
Figure 2-28 Screen display with window extended
ln the window extension mode, the display is divided
into two zones as shown in Figure 2-28. The upper
part displays the original waveform. You can move the
horizontally extended part of this zone left and right with
the button, or enlarge and reduce the selected
zone with the button.
The lower part is the horizontally extended waveform of
the selected original waveform zone. Please note that
the recognition rate of extended time base relative to the
main time base is now higher (as shown in the above
figure). Since the waveform shown in the entire lower
part corresponds to the selected zone in the upper part,
you can increase the extended time base by pressing
the button to decrease the size of the selected
zone. ln other words, you can increase the multiple of
waveform extension.

IIIustration 3 : Acquiring singIe signaIs
The advantage and special feature of your digital
storage Oscilloscopes lie in its ability to easily acquire
non cyclical signals like pulse and glitch. To acquire a
single signal, you must have transcendental knowledge
of that signal to set the trigger level and trigger edge.
For example, if the pulse is a logical signal of TTL level,
the trigger level should be set at about 2V and the
trigger edge should be set to rising edge trigger. lf you
are not certain about the signal, you can observe it by
automatic or normal trigger to determine the trigger level
and trigger edge.
Steps :
1.As in the previous illustration, set the attenuation
factor of the probe and Channel A.
2.Carry out trigger setup.

For definitions of A, B, C, D see the above figure.
Calculating with this formula, the angle of disparity is
0= arcsin (A /B) or 0= arcsin (C /D).
lf the elliptic main axis is within quadrants l and lll, the
angle of disparity should be within quadrants l and lV, i.e.
inside (0~ /2) or (3/2 ~ 2).
lf the main axis is within quadrants ll and lV, the angle
of disparity should be within quadrants ll and lll, i.e.
inside (/2 ~ ) or ( ~ 3/2).
Furthermore, if the frequencies and phase differences
of two signals being measured are exact multiples,
you can calculate the frequency and phase correlation
between the two signals.

You can reduce the intervals of average sampling.
7.Trapezoidal waveform display :
This is normal. The reason is possibly horizontal
time base range is too low. You can improve horizontal
pixel aspect ratio and enhance the display quality by
increasing the horizontal time base.
lf the display type is vector, the connection between
sampling dots may cause a trapezoidal waveform. Set
the display type to dot to solve this problem.
