MSO-2000
The types of analog signals for displaying on the MSO-2000 and the
GDS-2000E are the same, so we don’t repeat the steps for
displaying these signal types here. We only introduce new digital
bus decoding function which consist Logic trigger, UART, I2C, SPI,
CAN and LIN. Please refer to the following link pages for details
about displaying waveform you desire.
Note
Before displaying the digital channels, please
insert the DO-D7 into the LA plug on the GDB-03
as shown in the picture below.

DEMO BOARD
OVERVIEW
The demo board is a signal generator board
capable of producing waveforms which represent
various real life scenarios you might encounter.
You can use the board as a training kit to learn
how to properly view signals, or use it as a
generic signal generator.

Demonstration setup
Step
1. Turn on the GDS-3000.
2. Install the Demo module
software. Please refer to the
chapter “SOFTWARE
INSTALLATION”on page 22
for details.
Note
A. Please make sure that the firmware version is
V1.14 or above for models with a bandwidth of
less than or equal to 350MHz.
B. Please make sure that the firmware version is
V1.0 or above for the model with 500MHz.
C. Please refer to the “Appendix”chapter for
information about updating the firmware.
3. Connect the USB cable as shown
in the following diagram to
power up the demo board.
Connect the Type A plug to the
GDS-3000 and the Type B plug
to the demo board.
