TDR

You can load active waveform data from channel inputs, math functions, eye diagrams (database), Jitter data, Jitter Spectrum Analysis (JSA) data into the types of memory shown in the following table. In additions, you can load into memory previously saved waveform data. Often, waveforms saved in one Mode can be viewed in multiple modes. For example, S-parameters saved in TDR mode can be viewed in TDR, Scope, and Eye modes.

Memories and FlexDCA running in FlexRT

Memories are cleared whenever FlexDCA is placed in FlexRT. To view a FlexDCA waveform while in FlexRT, you must first save the waveform to a file:

  1. Save the waveform in FlexDCA. Click File > Save and select the appropriate dialog tab. For example, Waveform or Color-Grade/Gray Scale.
  2. Close the dialog.
  3. Connect FlexDCA to the UXR-series oscilloscope to start FlexDCA running in FlexRT.
  4. Open the appropriate memory dialog. Click the File menu command and select the memory.
  5. In the memory dialog, click Browse to load the saved memory file into memory.
