WaveAlertt Waveform Anomaly Detection. WaveAlert provides a way to
detect when a waveform devi ates from a steady-state condition.
WaveAlert monitors the current waveform acquisition and compares
it to the previous DPO waveform acquisitions, using a sensitivity
value to adjust the comparision tolerance. If the current acquisition
exceeds the comparison tolerance, the oscilloscope considers the
current acquisition as an anomaly.
Anomaly
The oscilloscope can respond to a n anom al ous waveform by
stopping acquisitions, emitting a beep, saving the anomalous
waveform to a disk file, printing the screen image to a hard copy
device, or any combinati on of the above. You can also select to
highlight just the anomalous data in a wave form, or the entire
anomalous waveform.
