Measurement Procedure
To conguring measurement settings automatically
Tapping [Auto range] on the waveform screen automatically species the sampling rate,
measurement range, and zero position of the input waveform and start a measurement.
See “3.7 Measuring Signals With the Auto-range Setting” in the Quick Start Manual.
To load settings registered previously
Load the settings le on the le screen.
See “4.3 Loading Data” (p. 113).
To automatically load saved settings at the time of startup
Congure the setting for the instrument so as to load the le containing the instrument settings at
the time of startup.
See “Automatically loading the settings (Automatic setup function)” (p. 115).
Initializing the instrument (Restoring the basic settings)
Select > [System] > [Initialize] to restore the instrument settings to the factory default.
The setting after the initialization is suitable for simple measurement.
Initialize the instrument when you have found any unexpected or complicated operation.
See “6.2 Initializing the Instrument” in the Quick Start Manual.

The instrument can measure signals at a sampling rate of 200 MS/s even with several modules other than
Model U8976 installed together. However, the data refresh rate does not exceed the maximum sampling rate
of each module.
When the real-time waveform calculation (Model MR6000-01 only) is set to [On], you cannot choose a
sampling rate of 200 MS/s.
When the real-time saving is set to [On], due to the combination of the number of channels to be used and
save destinations, the maximum sampling rate that can be set varies as follows:
Number of channels to be used
Maximum sampling rate that can be chosen
SSD HDD
USB ash drive
SD Card
FTP transmission
1 channel to 2 channels 20 MS/s 10 MS/s 5 MS/s
3 channel to 4 channels 10 MS/s 5 MS/s 2 MS/s

9 channel to 16 channels 2 MS/s 1 MS/s 500 kS/s
17 channel to 32 channels 1 MS/s 500 kS/s 200 kS/s
Only if the following Hioki-designated options are used, the real-time saving operation with the instrument is
guaranteed:
• Model U8332 SSD Unit Model U8333 HD Unit
• Model Z4006 USB Drive Model Z4001 and Model Z4003 SD Memory Card

Tap [Any] to enable it, and then tap [Points], which allows you to enter the number of points in 100
increments.
When the real-time saving is set to [On], you cannot specify the recording length in the [Points] box. Choose
[Save], and enter the recording length in the [Recording time] box. (p. 107)
The maximum recording length you can set varies depending on the number of channels to be measured.
5
Tap the [Mode] box, and then choose a recording mode from the list.
Single Measures waveforms only once. Pressing the START key starts recording waveforms,
and then stops when the specied recording length of the waveforms have been
acquired.
RepeatMeasures waveforms repeatedly. Pressing the STOP key stops the measurement in
progress.
When you choose [Repeat] and set [Count] to [On], measurements repeat the number of times entered in
the [Count] box.
When [Realtime save] is set to [On], you can choose [Single] mode only.

Congure the overlay setting.
See “3.1 Overlaying New Waveforms With Previously Acquired Waveforms” (p. 52).

Tap the [Realtime save] button to set it to [On].
The instrument can record data in an optional storage device while measuring waveforms.
See “Real-time saving” (p. 106).

Conguring the memory division settings
The instrument can divide the internal memory into several blocks and store waveforms into them.

If the instrument plots false waveforms (aliasing)
If a measured signal oscillates at a higher frequency compared to the sampling rate you chose, the
instrument may plot false waveforms oscillating at a frequency lower than that of the actual signal
once the signal frequency reaches a certain level. This phenomenon is called aliasing.
Actual input
signal
Sampling interval
: Sampled points
Observed
waveform
A sampling interval longer than the cycle of the
input signal causes aliasing.
To plot a sign wave that allows you to observe the peaks without any aliasing, the instrument needs
to sample the waveform at a minimum of 25 points per cycle.
To set the sampling rate automatically
See “3.7 Measuring Signals With the Auto-range Setting” in the Quick Start Manual.

Setting Measurement Conditions
Update rate of each module
The data refresh rate is not allowed to exceed the maximum sampling rate of each module.
The instrument measures the same data until the data gets updated, causing the instrument to plot
a stair-step waveform.
In addition, even though the instrument measures the same signal simultaneously, values may vary
due to differences in the sampling rate, frequency range, and frequency characteristics of modules.

• What is Envelope?
At the specied recording interval, the instrument records the maximum and minimum values among data
points sampled within each specied recording interval by sampling an input signal at an over-sampling rate*
of 100 MS/s. Hence, even though a relatively longer recording interval is specied, peaks of uctuations can
be recorded without being missed.
*: Over-sampled data (indicated by blue dots in the gure) are not saved.

A set of sampled data acquired using the envelope consists of two values: the maximum value and the
minimum value. These values are taken from the measured values acquired by sampling an input signal at an
over-sampling rate during the recording interval chosen in the [Sampling] box. The screen displays a vertically
wide waveform line. When saved in an external storage device, the data set that consists of the maximum and
minimum values is stored for a single instance of measurement.

Tap the [Sampling] box, and then choose a sampling rate from the list.
The following are the sampling rates you can choose when the envelope is used.
10 MS/s, 5 MS/s, 2 MS/s, 1 MS/s, 500 kS/s, 200 kS/s, 100 kS/s, 50 kS/s, 20 kS/s, 10 kS/s,

Tap the [Points] box, and then from the list, choose an option for the number of points to be
measured.
2.5 k, 5 k, 10 k, 20 k, 50 k, 100 k, 200 k, 500 k, 1 M, 2 M, 5 M, 10 M, 20 M, 50 M,100 M,200 M,
500 M,1 G
Tap [Any] to enable it, and then tap the [Points] box, which allows you to enter the number of points in 100
increments.
When the real-time saving is set to [On], you cannot specify the recording length in the [Points] box. Choose
[Save], and enter the recording length in the [Recording time] box. (p. 107)
The maximum recording length you can specify varies depending on the number of channels to be measured.

Tap the [Range (f.s.)] box, and then choose a measurement range from the list.
The value of the range represents its maximum displayable value (f.s.).
See the following table for the full-scale resolution of each module.
If the input voltage exceeds the measurable range (overrange occurs), change the measurement range to one
with a lower sensitivity.
After changing measurement ranges, check values including level, upper, lower of the trigger, search, and
numerical calculation functions.
