4.4 Working with waveforms
The MXO 4 can create and display many waveform types. The most important are:
●
Channel waveforms:
For each input channel, one channel waveform is shown.
●
Reference waveforms:
Four waveforms can be used as reference for comparison and analysis.
●
Math waveforms:
Five mathematic waveforms can be created with mathematic operations performed
on channel, reference, and other math waveforms.
●
Zoom waveforms:
Show the details of waveforms.
●
Digital waveforms:
The Mixed Signal Option R&S MXO4-B1 provides 16 digital channels grouped in
two logic probes (pods) with 8 channels each.
Waveform handling
The MXO 4 can show and analyze many waveforms. To handle this multitude while
keeping track of it, the MXO 4 provides intelligent support:
●
The color system helps to distinguish the waveforms. The color of the vertical
rotary knobs indicates the signal that is focused (selected). The color of each
waveform can be changed, the color of its signal icon and of the illuminated keys is
adjusted to the new color. Alternatively, a color table can be assigned to a wave-
form.
Settings: "Menu" > "Settings" > "Appearance" > "Colors" tab.
●
You can arrange the waveforms in one diagram, or in separate diagrams. The
Rohde & Schwarz SmartGrid function helps to arrange the waveforms.
