An overview of time and frequency domains and demonstration of the Spectrogram. Hi again and welcome to our 85th Test and Measurement Video. Today we’ll talk about domains in the Tektronix MDO3000 oscilloscope. By way of background, in mathematics a function is frequently graphed in Cartesian coordinates. Two axes intersect at right angles at the […]
VIDEO: Signal Acquisition in the Tektronix MDO3000 Oscilloscope
Various types of signal acquisitions in a digital storage oscilloscope are examined and displayed. Hi again and welcome to our 81st Test and Measurement Video. For this demonstration we’ll return to the Tektronix MDO3000 oscilloscope and talk about the meaning and some details of signal acquisition. This concept is far more complex in the digital […]

A Tektronix RSA306B PC-based spectrum analyzer is connected to the output from a Tektronix RTSA V3 Demo Board in order to demonstrate trace detection and function controls. Hi and welcome to our 72nd Test and Measurement Video. Today we are continuing our demonstration of the Tektronix RSA306B PC-based spectrum analyzer. This recent Tektronix offering makes […]
VIDEO: Save and Recall Functions In The Tektronix RSA306B Spectrum Analyzer
A Tektronix RSA306B PC-based spectrum analyzer demonstrates save and recall functions, using a PC’s interactive on-screen controls. Greetings once more and welcome to our 73rd Test and Measurement video. Today we are looking at the Save and Recall capabilities in the Tektronix RSA306B PC-based spectrum analyzer. By way of background, a brief discussion of spectrum […]
VIDEO: Capacitance Measurements Using Various Test Instruments
Capacitance is measured using a multimeter, LCR meter and oscilloscope. Ordinarily, capacitors are provided with the metrics – capacitance and working volts – printed or color-coded on the component. The capacitance as labeled is generally accurate to a reasonable tolerance. For most applications a wide range of values will perform as expected. As for working […]
VIDEO: Converting Square Wave to Sine Wave
A 680 pf capacitor is used to make a low-pass filter, removing high-frequency harmonics in order to transform a square wave into a crude sine wave. Hi and welcome to our 64th Test and Measurement video. Today we’ll look at an easy and very inexpensive way in this Tektronix MDO 3000 Series oscilloscope to convert […]
