ABOUT MemoryPrime TECHNOLOGY |
|
|
What is
the single feature lacking from most digital storage oscilloscopes? Adequate
memory depth. Is the memory depth of your DSO large enough?
With 2M points of memory, the GDS-1000A has the capability to acquire far
more waveform data compared to other DSOs in the same performance range.
The 1GSa/s sampling rate and 2M point memory plays an extremely powerful
role for single-shot waveform capture. Properly set the trigger conditions
to baby-sit the expected waveform. When the single-shot waveform is
triggered and captured, you are able to check and see the single-shot event
without losing any detailed information. A DSO, with high sampling rate but
short memory, can't do the job of single-shot waveform capture as good as
what GDS-1000A can do.

EASY TO USE |
|
|
|
Full-featured acquisition mode and 27 auto measurement functions help users
to measure the parameters of captured waveforms accurately. The advanced
Auto-Set function enables GDS-1000 Series to catch waveform automatically
and display waveform quickly. With Arithmetic functions, +, -, x and FFT,
GDS-1000A Series keep users being aware of the measurement results by
updating values immediately. Without almost extra calculation, GDS-1000A can
provide sufficient information of testing. |

CONVENIENT TOOLS FOR WAVEFORM OBSERVATION-DELAY ON/ OFF |
 |
|
For the convenience of waveform observation and analysis, the
GDS-1000A includes Delay On/Off functions usually seen only in the higher
end products. With Delay On, a signal can be observed from an offset of the
trigger point. With this feature, the horizontal scale, so as the waveform
scale, can be expanded and centered on the delay point, but not the trigger
point. This allows a signal to be observed in detail where needed. |

CONVENIENT TOOLS FOR WAVEFORM OBSERVATION-EXPAND BY GROUND/CENTER |
 |
| In a DSO,
"AC Coupling" is normally used to isolate the AC components of a signal by
blocking the DC components. This is useful to see a signal with a small AC
component that is offset with a large DC voltage. With AC coupling to block
the DC voltage, small AC waveforms can be observed from the center of the
screen for measurement or examination. However, capacitive loading under AC
coupling mode may cause waveform distortion as low frequency components may
become degraded, which must be avoided in frequency critical applications.
The Expand by Ground and Center functions are convenient tools to expand a
waveform vertically. With this feature, the vertical scale of a waveform can
be expanded either from the ground reference or from the center of the
screen without causing capacitive loading. |

FFT & FFTrms |
 |
To observe the fundamental and harmonic components of a
signal, the FFT math function on a digital storage oscilloscope is often
used. Typically the traditional unit of the FFT is a decibel (dB).
However using dB, it is difficult to identify the fundamental frequency of a
signal from a noisy spectrum sometimes. With the FFTrms function, the
GDS-1000A series can clearly display the fundamental frequency of an
acquired waveform. |

PC REMOTE CONTROL SOFTWARE |
 |
|
Using a USB port coupled with FreeWave remote monitoring
software is the easiest and most convenient way to capture data from the
GDS-1000A. With FreeWave, a screenshot can be saved as an image file (.bmp/.jpg),waveform
data(.csv)can be logged and movie files(.wmv) can be recorded in real-time.
Not only can FreeWave monitor and record waveforms over a long period of
time , but previously recorded waveforms can also be observed. Instrument
settings can even be configured without the need to learn incomp rehensible
command line syntax. With the simple user interface and robust features,
FreeWave allows you to get the most out of the GDS-1000A with little effort.
When a test report is needed you no longer have to copy and paste data into
your documents. With the Microsoft Excel or Word Add-ins, you only need to
click the Add-in icon to import your test data, saving you time and effort. |
