    摘要: A test and measurement system includes a device under test (DUT) interface structured to couple to at least one DUT and a measurement instrument coupled to the interface. The instrument includes one or more processors configured to, when testing the DUT, accept a measurement signal at a first input channel and generate a first sample waveform from the measurement signal using a first set of parameters, accept the measurement signal at a second input channel and generate a second sample from the measurement signal using a second set of parameters, and generate a measurement waveform from a combination of the first sample waveform and the second sample waveform. Additionally, the measurement instrument is structured to determine settling errors in the first pulse of a double-pulse test, and then compensate measurements made in subsequent pulses for the settling errors.

    摘要: A test and measurement instrument has a user interface, one or more probes to connect to a device under test (DUT), and one or more processors configured to execute code to cause the one or more processors to: receive waveform data from the DUT after activation of the DUT by application of power from a power supply, and application of at least a first and second pulse from a source instrument, locate one or more reverse recovery regions in the waveform data, determine a reverse recovery time for the DUT from the reverse recovery region, and display a reverse recovery plot of the one or more reverse recovery regions on the user interface, the reverse recovery plot being automatically configured to display one or more of the reverse recovery regions, and including at least one characteristic for the one or more reverser recovery regions annotated on the reverse recovery plot. A method of providing reverse recovery measurements for a device under test (DUT) includes receiving waveform data through the probes from the DUT after activation of the DUT by application of power from a power supply, and application of a first and second pulse from a source instrument, locating one or more reverse recovery regions in the waveform data, determining a reverse recovery time for the DUT for the one or more reverse recovery regions, and displaying a reverse recovery plot of the one or more reverse recovery regions on the user interface, the reverse recovery plot being automatically configured to display the one or more reverse recovery regions, and including at least one characteristic of the one or more reverse recovery regions annotated on the reverse recovery plot.

    摘要: A system for measuring characteristics of wide bandgap Devices Under Test (DUTs) includes a testing fixture including one or more wide bandgap DUTs, and a measurement instrument having one or more processors configured to apply a stimulus to provoke a response of one or more wide bandgap DUTs, measure the response, graph the response on one or more displays, each display having a vertical scale, and automatically adjusting the vertical scale of the one or more displays until no clipping occurs in the one or more displays. Methods of dynamically configuring a test and measurement instrument based on a particular testing setup are also described.

    摘要: A system for dynamically calibrating operational parameters of a Device Under Test (DUT) includes a signal generator for generating a data pattern, a DUT structured to generate a clock signal, an oscilloscope structured to measure margins of the generated clock signal compared to an eye-diagram produced on the oscilloscope from the data pattern, and a calibration unit. The calibration unit can produce a candidate a jitter value for the signal generator, receive a determination from the oscilloscope whether the data pattern generated with the candidate jitter value causes the DUT to produce the generated clock signal within a pre-determined tolerance level, and modify the jitter value accordingly. The calibration unit may also be further structured to generate voltage swing values.

    摘要: A test and measurement instrument, including at least one port configured to receive a signal from a device under test (DUT), the signal including a current signal acquired across a magnetic core of the DUT and a voltage signal acquired across the magnetic core of the DUT, and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to determine a hysteresis loop based on the current signal and the voltage signal, determine a magnetic flux of the magnetic core based on the voltage signal and the current signal for a number of sample points for each cycle, and determine a maximum magnetic flux for all cycles and a hysteresis loop cycle that corresponds to the maximum magnetic flux. A display configured to display at least one of the hysteresis loop, the signal received from the DUT, and the hysteresis loop cycle that corresponds to the maximum magnetic flux.
