Compact Structure, Intuitive Operation

Easy-to-See Vertical Design

The DLM3000's large display is positioned at the top of the instrument's panel. This vertical design aligns the display with the user's line of sight and saves desk or test bench space. The intuitive panel layout provides a clear overview of channel and function status, enabling swift measurements.

Convenient 8.4-inch Display

The display can automatically or manually trace waveforms, maintaining optimal resolution and dynamic range. This allows for easy viewing of all signal details, regardless of the number of channels used. The DLM3000 is described as a "compact dedicated oscilloscope" that is easy to view and operate.

Capacitive Touch Screen for Intuitive Operation

The touch-enabled user interface offers intuitive operation. Users can quickly set up cursors, zoom boxes, and waveform display areas using familiar drag-and-drop and pinch-to-zoom gestures. Traditional buttons and keys are also conveniently placed, allowing users to benefit from both control methods.

The instrument boasts a compact body, approximately two-thirds the size of an A4 sheet of paper, with a depth of about 200mm.

First-Class Acquisition Memory

The DLM3000 offers large 500M-point memory, crucial for long-duration measurements requiring high sampling rates. The formula for measurement time is: Measurement Time = Memory Size / Sampling Rate. With the 500M-point memory option (/M2), users can capture 200ms of waveform data even at a 2.5GS/s sampling rate in 2-channel "Single" mode.

Sampling Rate vs. Measurement Time

Ample memory is essential for utilizing higher sampling rates and capturing accurate waveforms. The DLM3000 allows real-time zooming into 500M-point waveforms up to 200,000,000x magnification.

Zoom and Search Functions

Utilize two independent zoom windows and various search functions to quickly locate critical data. The "Simultaneous Zoom of Two Positions" feature allows for side-by-side display of two events, aiding in causal relationship analysis. The "Auto Scroll" function enables automatic scanning of the main waveform, with options for forward, backward, fast-forward, and scroll speed control.

The "Zoom Search Function" allows users to automatically find and zoom into specific waveform conditions using multiple search criteria, facilitating in-depth inspection. Found waveform positions are marked on the screen.

Inherited History Function

The DLM3000 series can store up to 100,000 previously captured waveforms in its acquisition memory. The "History" function allows users to display one or all of these historical waveforms on screen. Users can perform cursor measurements, calculations, and other operations on historical waveforms, making it ideal for capturing and analyzing intermittent or elusive signals.

History Search Function: Search up to 100,000 waveforms based on various criteria.

Playback Function: Automatically play, pause, fast-forward, and rewind through the waveform history.

Multiple Trigger and Filter Options

The DLM3000 series offers a wide array of trigger types, including edge, enhanced, and B triggers, suitable for combined analog and digital signals. Its digital trigger system minimizes false triggers. Available trigger types include Edge, Edge OR, Pulse Width, Timeout, Pattern, Runt, Rise/Fall Time, Interval, Window, Window OR, A Delay B, and A to B(n), with serial bus triggers available as an option.

Real-time Filters: The instrument features 14 low-pass filters per channel, with cutoff frequencies ranging from 8kHz to 200MHz, applied before data is stored in memory.

Computed Digital Filters: Low-pass or high-pass filters can be applied using the MATH function, allowing for comparison with input waveforms.

Features Designed for Productivity

• Measurement and Statistics: Supports 29 waveform parameters with up to 30 simultaneous auto-measurements. Statistical analysis can be performed per cycle or using the history function.
• Waveform Snapshot: Save the current waveform display with a single button press for easy comparison. Snapshot data can be saved and loaded as files.
