Provide a pulse with T
rise
≤ 350 ps into one channel. Set the scope to 100 ps/div
(250 GS/s TDS 580D, 680C, 684C, 784D, and 794D; 5 GS/s TDS 654C, 680C, 684C),
with 6 div of signal, and the trigger level set to 50% of the rising edge. Turn on a horizontal
histogram, with the box set to minimum height at the trigger point. Enable StdDev and
Hits in Box histogram measurements. Wait for a least 1000 hits, then note the standard
deviation of the trigger point.
