a. For Channel 1: Sine wave, 2Vpp, 1kHz, 3V Offset
Oscilloscope’s Configurations:
a. Select Channel 1.
b. Horizontal: Time Base – 200us/div, Position – 0ms
c. Vertical: Volts/Div – 1V/div, Position – 0V
d. Run both instruments.
15. Turn on “AC Software Coupling” on oscilloscope CH1. The trace must slowly move towards 0V until it looks like the image in the Steps Resources on the left.
16. Repeat steps 11 and 12 for oscilloscope Channel 2. The same result must show.
Probe Attenuation 17. Turn on “Measurement” and turn on “Display All.” Change the probe attenuation to 0.1X, 10X, 100X, respectively. As the probe attenuation is changed, the measurement must change respectively i.e. 2Vpp with 10X must be shown as 20Vpp. Labels on the plot as well as the Volts/div must also change.
External Trigger 18. Connect the pins as shown in the Steps Resources on the right.
19. Pattern Generator’s Configuration: The interface must look like the image in the “Step Resources” picture on the left. Trace is triggered at rising edge.
a. Enable DIO-0 and set as clock with 5kHz frequency.
Oscilloscope’s Configurations:
a. Select Channel 1.
b. Horizontal: Time Base – 200us/div, Position – 0ms
c. Vertical: Volts/Div – 1V/div, Position – 0V
d. Trigger Settings: Internal (Analog) – OFF, External Trigger – ON; Digital: Source – Channel 1, Condition – Rising Edge; Set to Auto (?)
20. Change the condition to “Falling Edge.” Trace is triggered at falling edge. When changing the condition, the plot must follow accordingly.
21. Disconnect T1 and replace it with T0. Change channel source to Channel 2. Repeat steps 18 and 16. The trace must still be triggered the same as with T1.
Autoset 22. Disconnect the connections from the previous steps. Connect Scope CH1+ to W1 and Scope CH1- to GND. Set these on the Signal Generator: to the following: 2V 5MHz sinewave. Run signal generator and oscilloscope. Click Autoset. After clicking, wait until the signal/waveform is properly displayed. Trigger must be automatically set to (max-min)/2 - at 50%. Vertical and Horizontal values must automatically be adjusted.
a. For Channel 1: Sine wave, 2Vpp, 5MHz
b. Run Signal Generator and Oscilloscope. On the Oscilloscope, click “Autoset.”
23. Change signal to a 5V, 500kHz sinewave. Click “Autoset” again. After clicking, wait until the signal/waveform is properly displayed. Trigger must be automatically set to (max-min)/2 - at 50%. Vertical and Horizontal values must automatically be adjusted.
24. Change the signal to a 10V, 500 Hz sinewave. Click “Autoset” again. After clicking, wait until the signal/waveform is properly displayed. Trigger must be automatically set to (max-min)/2 - at 50%. Vertical and Horizontal values must automatically be adjusted.
25. Repeat steps with Channel 2.
Print Plot 26. Connect Oscilloscope’s CH1 to Signal Generator’s CH1+. Connect Oscilloscope’s CH2 to Signal Generator’s CH2. Set these on the Signal Generator: The expected result must be a pdf file: plotscreenshot.pdf
a. For Channel 1: Sine wave, 10Vpp, 1kHz
b. For Channel 2: Square wave, 5Vpp, 1kHz
Oscilloscope’s Configurations (For Channels 1 and 2):
a. Horizontal: Time Base – 200us/div, Position – 0ms
b. Vertical: Volts/Div – 1V/div, Position – 0V
c. Press the “Print” button in the top left of the Oscilloscope instrument and save the file in pdf format.
Curve Style 27. On the Signal Generator, set Channel 1’s frequency to 2MHz and Channel 2’s to 5MHz. Monitor both channels in the Oscilloscope. Change curve styles of both channels. The waveform must correspond to the changes set on the curve style.
Gating 28. Signal Generator’s Configurations: The peak-to-peak reading must be half the set amplitude. Channel 1 peak-peak = ~5V, channel 2 peak-peak = ~2.5V.
a. For Channel 1: Sine wave, 10Vpp, 10kHz
b. For Channel 2: Sine wave, 5Vpp, 1Hz
Oscilloscope’s Configurations:
a. Enable the “Measure” feature and turn the “Gating Settings” on.
b. For Channel 1: Move the gating sliders to ~0s and ~50us.
c. For Channel 2: Move the gating sliders to ~0s and ~500us.
Histogram 29. Open the General Settings and turn the “Histogram” on. Change the waveform of both channels to square. A window must be displayed showing the histogram of the waveform. For this case, the histogram must show the high and low value of the square waves.
ADC Digital Filters 30. Refer to the following document for ADC digital Filter calibration. Compensation using the digital filters
31. Set these on the Signal Generator: The interface must look like the image in the “Step Resources” picture on the left side.
a. For Channel 1: Square wave, 2Vpp, 1kHz
Oscilloscope’s Configurations:
a. Select Channel 1.
b. Horizontal: Time Base – 200ms/div, Position – 0ms
c. Vertical: Volts/Div – 500mV/div, Position – 0V
d. Calibrate the signal with the hardware trimmers.
32. Set the Oscilloscope’s Volt/Div to 1V/Div (high gain mode). The waveform was adjusted in low gain mode and in high gain mode it must look similar to the step resources picture.
33. Enable the ADC Filters (Filter 1 Filter 2) from channel settings and set the parameters as follows: Filter 1: TC=60, gain=-0.025, Filter2: TC=9, gain=0.047. The result must be like in the step resources picture where signals are as follows: Initial signal (green),Filter 1 signal(cyan), cascaded filters signal(orange).
34. Now if you switch between high gain (±2.5V) and low gain (±25V), you must see a Square waveform in both cases. The filters must be active in the the mode they were enabled.
35. Repeat steps 31-34 for Signal Generator and Oscilloscope’s Channel.
