Hi this is Mike Hoffman with Keysight Technologies. Today is March 18th, and you know what that means:
it's the 18th day of Scope Month. I'm tagging in for Daniel Bogdanoff today, who
is actually going to a trade show out in California, so safe travels to Daniel.
With me here is our Product Manager, Taku Faruta, he's going to do a quick demo for
us later. If you'd like to know why we're wearing these stupid hats, go to our YouTube
channel and look for the "Will It" video. Version three is out now:
"Will it be an Alarm Clock?" Give that a watch, and I hope you enjoy that.
So, Taku, I'll let you-
Ok great, so what we're going to be doing today is giving away our 18th 3000T X-Series
oscilloscope, and since today is Friday we are doing this live, so bear with us. And
we'll be drawing for a 4000 X-Series oscilloscope as well. So we're going to go ahead and do
that. Also, remember to enter our Test to Impress Contest, we're giving away a fully
loaded 6 GHz 6000 X-Series oscilloscope, with four active probes of 6 GHz each. And all
you have to do is submit a short video clip telling us how and why you would use that
scope. Enter at www.scopemonth.com.
So without further delay, let's go ahead and do our drawing, and then we'll do a quick scope tip.
Okay. The winner of our 3000T today is: Donald Schuele. Congratulations Donald.
And for the 4000 X-Series is: Jacob Shopp. Congratulations Jacob. We'll be in touch with you shortly.
Now, let's go ahead and bring Taku back in here, he's going to do a quick demonstration
for us on the 3000T. Come on over Taku. Please introduce yourself to the lovely audience today.
Hi. I was the one wearing the horse hat so far. But my name is Taku Faruta, Product Planner for the InfiniVision scopes.
I've been in the T&M industry for about 15 years.
So far, I've dealt with high end scopes to the entry class scope to logic analyzers and the protocol analyzers,
but I came back to scopes. Why? Because they're just so fun! Scopes are probably
the funnest product we have in the T&M industy because there are so many features there all the time.
What I like about them, is even after 15 years, I still don't remember everything on here.
So now I will do a quick product demonstration of the 3000T series with a new FFT feature.
Alright.
So, on the 3000T series, to have quick access to FFT, we helped build an FFT button on the
top of the front panel. Right now, I am generating about 1 MHz square waveform. There should
be some higher harmonics. So if you can see the FFT content, that will be perfect demonstration here.
Voila, yes I do see the frequency content of the signal. One of the quick tips for using FFT
is put as much signal as possible to have a higher resolution of the FFT. On top of this, we
did add an interesting feature call search. So if I push search, it actually does an automatic
search of different peaks for the frequencies. So we can find out the signal is roughly about
1 MHz and you see the higher harmonics and other information as well.
Thank you very much for letting me do this quick tip.
Great. Thank you Taku. And with that I'd like to leave with some closing statements here.
Please make sure to Like us on Facebook and subscribe on YouTube. Share with your friends
if you think that they would be excited to perhaps enter in the contest as well and watch
along with us as we make these videos each day. And I'd also like to give a quick shoutout
to my brother Johnathan who is turning 26, happy birthday John. Love you.
And with that, we'll go ahead and close out.
Thank you so much for watching today, and until next time, this is Mike Hoffman.
