2400 series of scopes -- automatic voltage measurement


Steve
 

Looking for confirmation of my understanding of the Tek specs for automatic voltage measurement in the 2400 series scopes.

Am I right in understanding that automatic voltage measurement is spec'ed to 1MHz? And that it is not spec'ed to function accurately above 1MHz?

That's what I get from my reading of the the catalog pages and the service manual. Am I reading those documents correctly?

Thanks.

Steve


 

That is a good question.

The similar 100 MHz 2247A specifications divide the total bandwidth
into two frequency ranges at 25 MHz and say that peak voltage
measurements above 25 MHz follow the trigger response curve.

The 2445B/2455B/2465B/2467B specifications mention a 10ns minimum
pulse with *and* a maximum sine wave frequency of 1 MHz.

Maybe those two oscilloscope designs are too different to compare.

I assume you mean a 2445A/65A/67 and 2445B/65B/67B.

I know the 24xx Digital Scopes have no such limit.

I just tried using a 1.2V sine wave and was able to measure pk-pk accurately to over 200MHz.

Maybe it depends on the signal amplitude.

Hi Victor,

Yes, I was referring specifically to a 2456B.

TEK specifications indicate that the automatic voltage reading is good up to 1MHz. Interesting that you are seeing it function up to 200MHz.

Thanks.

Are you referring to Page 1-11, Volts, Maximum sine-wave frequency?

This is very confusing because here it actually says greater than or equal to 1MHz.

The 24xx digital scopes lack any such limit because they make
measurements in a completely different matter.

What I wonder is why the 2247A series which *do* operate in a similar
way do not have such a limit listed.

If the peak detection circuit in the 2465B series is good down to the
specified 10ns, then I have no idea what the 1 MHz restriction refers
to. Those two specifications seem to conflict.
