Introduction
The MS-250 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope Option is a complete system that adds digital
acquisition and triggering capabilities to a Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope.
Once properly connected to the oscilloscope and the device under test, you will be able to
use the oscilloscope user interface for the following:
l Digital Logic Control: Set the logic threshold and hysteresis for each lead bank,
choosing from standard logic families or entering a custom setting.
l Digital Group Management: Combine individual digital lines into bus groups to be
managed together. Give lines descriptive logical names, regardless of the physical
lead number.
l Digital Analysis: Display digital signals as single line traces or collapsed bus traces.
Many of the same tools available for analyzing analog signals may be applied to
digital signals.
l Digital and Combined Triggering: Choose to set an acquisition trigger on a digital
signal pattern or a combination of conditions using both analog and digital signals.
The MS-250 is ideally suited for embedded controller testing where there is a proliferation
of analog signals coincident with digital signals. You can easily debug signals using
standard oscilloscope tools such as cursors, measurement parameters, and zooming.
Oscilloscopes compatible with the MS-250 feature large, bright color displays to facilitate
signal viewing, plus all the connectivity and documentation capabilities needed to quickly
record and distribute information.
Technical Overview
The MS-250 is an external device that digitally samples waveform data at up to 1 GS/s
(for 250 MHz digital signals). Unlike a logic analyzer, it operates only in a Timing Analysis
mode, so it requires 4x oversampling to determine the correct digital edge position, and
does not require the user to input a clock.
While in SINGLE, NORMAL, or AUTO trigger mode, the MS-250 repeatedly samples each
digital channel’s voltage level. If the voltage is greater than the threshold voltage, the MS-
250 stores a 1 in internal memory. Otherwise, a 0 is stored.
