Description

Selects feedthrough compensation which applies to the input channel's sampler circuit.

THRuput
Selects Best Throughput which displays the waveform as it is acquired. FlexDCA displays any noise and feedthrough error on the signal. Best Throughput provides the fastest measurement results and is FlexDCA's default setting. In Jitter mode, the feedthrough compensation is set to Best Throughput and cannot be changed.
FLATness
Select Best Flatness which turns on the feedthrough compensation circuit. This reduces the amount of sampler feedthrough error. The internal compensation circuit drops the noise level of the instrument below the feedthrough level. FlexDCA then takes two data samples of the waveform: one sample with the compensation circuit turned on and one with the circuit turned off. The two results are then subtracted, thereby removing the residual noise error. In TDR/TDT mode, this mode improves the step flatness of TDR measurements.

Feedthrough compensation is only available when FlexDCA is running on or connected to a DCA-X or DCA-M. If you are running N1010A FlexDCA without a DCA-X connection, this setting is not displayed in the dialog.

Requires FlexDCA revision A.04.53 and above.
