Check Signal Integrity
Electronics engineers may discover that a wide array of unintentional
electrical events will make a difference in how circuits function in the
real world. To characterize these events, engineers can measure
criteria such as overshoot, ringing, ground bounce, cross talk, and
other signal integrity issues. The TDS2000C Series’ cursors can be
used to make such measurements.
To make signal integrity measurements
using cursors:
1. Press the CURSOR button.
2. Press the Type menu button until the Amplitude cursor type is
selected.
3. Press the Cursor 1 menu button.
4. To measure the peak ringing below ground, place cursor 1 at 0
Volts, using the multipurpose knob.
5. Press the Cursor 2 menu button and place cursor 2 on the
negative peak, using the multipurpose knob.
6. View the absolute Voltage measurements on the cursor readouts
at the side of the display. The Δ readout indicates the difference
between the cursor positions.
