Exercise 4
Acquiring Analog and Digital signals of a
D/A Converter
Most embedded systems contain a mix of analog and digital
circuitry. MDO3000 Series oscilloscope with its Mixed Signal
Oscilloscope capability enables the acquisition of analog
and digital signals and displays them time correlated on the
display, providing insight into your complete system operation.
Automated measurements work on both analog and digital
channel data making it easy to learn even more about your
signal behavior. And because everything is automatically time
correlated, cursor measurements work across analog and
digital channels. The digital channel monitor shows activity on
digital channels at a glance without having to turn them on.
This exercise demonstrates how this oscilloscope can be used
to simultaneously view analog and digital signals by probing
both sides of a simple D/A convertor.
Note: You could purchase the MDO3MSO instrument option
to add 16 digital channels to your MDO3000, which includes
the P6316 digital probe and accessories. For demonstration
purposes, all application modules and options are enabled in
MDO3000 demo units.
