HD4096 High Definition Technology, 16x More Resolution.

12-bits of vertical resolution provides sixteen times more resolution than 8-bits of vertical resolution.

2¹² = 4096 levels whereas 2⁸ = 256 levels.

The 4096 discrete levels of the 12 bit A/D converter reduces quantization error. Signals captured with lower resolution oscilloscopes have a higher level of quantization error resulting in less accurate waveforms on the display and less accurate vertical measurements. Signals captured on an oscilloscope with 12-bit HD4096 technology are accurately displayed with minimal quantization error and higher vertical measurement accuracy.

12 Bit Technology

Cleaner, Crisper Waveforms

When compared to waveforms captured and displayed by 8-bit oscilloscopes, waveforms captured with HD4096 technology are dramatically crisper and cleaner. Oscilloscopes with HD4096 acquire waveforms at high resolution, high sample rate and low noise to display the most accurate waveforms.

More Signal Details

Signal details often lost in the noise are clearly visible and easy to distinguish when captured on oscilloscopes with HD4096. Details which were previously difficult to even see can now be easily seen and measured. Using the oscilloscope zoom capabilities gives an even closer look at the details for unparalleled insight to the signals on screen.

Unmatched Measurement Precision

Precise measurements are critical for effective debug and analysis. HD4096 enables oscilloscopes to deliver unmatched measurement precision to improve testing capabilities and provide better results.

Spectrum Analyzer Option

View the frequency content of signals with spectrum analyzer style controls, easily adjust the frequency span, resolution bandwidth and center frequency. A unique peak search detects spectral components and presents frequency and level details in an interactive table. Use the spectrogram display to see changes in the spectrum over time.

Power Analyzer Option Automates Switching Device Loss Measurements

Quickly measure and analyze the operating characteristics of power conversion devices and circuits with the Power Analyzer option. Critical power switching device measurements, control loop modulation analysis, and line power harmonic testing are all simplified with a dedicated user interface and automatic measurements. Areas of turn-on, turn-off, and conduction loss are all identified with color-coded waveform overlays for faster analysis.

title

Beyond the advanced power loss measurement capabilities, the Power Analyzer modulation analysis capabilities provide insight to understand control loop response to critical events such as a power supply・s soft start performance or step response to line and load changes. The Line Power Analysis tool allows simple and quick pre-compliance testing to EN 61000-3-2.

Serial Trigger and Decode Options

Debugging serial data busses can be confusing and time consuming. The serial data trigger and decode options for HDO4000 provide time saving tools for serial bus debug and validation.

View decoded protocol information on top of physical layer waveforms and trigger on protocol specific messages.

Protocol decoding is shown directly on the waveform with an intuitive, color-coded overlay and presented in binary, hex or ASCII. Decoding on the HDO4000 is fast even with long memory and zooming in to the waveform shows precise byte by byte decoding.
