Reference
WaveAlert Waveform Anomaly Detection. Wa veA lert provides a way
to detect when a waveform deviates from a steady-state condition.
WaveAlert monitors the current waveform acquisition and com pares it
to the previous DPO waveform acquisitions, using a sensitivity v alue to
adjust the comparison tolerance. If the current acquisition exceeds the
comparison tolerance, the oscilloscope considers the current acquisition
as an anom aly.
Anomaly
The oscilloscope can respond to an anomalous waveform by stopping
acquisitions, emitting a beep, saving the anomalous waveform to a U SB
flash drive file, printing the screen image to a hard copy device, or any
combination of the above. You can also select to highlight just the
anomalous data in a waveform, or the entire anomalous waveform.
To use WaveAlert, follow these steps:
1. Display the waveform or waveforms on the screen.
2. Push the Acquire Menu front-panel button.
3. Push the WaveAlert bottom button.
4. Push the Wfm Anomaly Detection side button to select On.
5. Push -more-1of2andthentheHighlight Anom alies side button
to select On.
6. Push -more-2of2andthentheSensitivity side button.
