How do I test a SCR for Peak Forward Blocking Voltage on my curve tracer? Peak Forward Blocking Voltage - VDRMWhat It Is:With no gate signal applied, peak forward blocking voltage is the maximum voltage that can be applied to the anode without causing theSCR to enter the unblocked (On) state.On the curve tracer, the...	835716
How do I test a SCR for Peak On-State Voltage on my curve tracer? Peak On-State Voltage - VTM What It Is:Peak on-state voltage is the anode voltage with the device in the unblocked (On) stateand ID at a specified value.On the curve tracer, the anode is driven by the Collector Supply and the gate is driven by the...	835717
How do I test a SCR for Peak Reverse Blocking Current on my curve tracer? Peak Reverse Blocking Current - IRRM What It Is:With no gate signal applied, peak reverse blocking current is the maximum reverse current that flows with the SCR in the blocked (Off) state. Peak reverse blocking current is equal to peak forward...	835718
How do I test a SCR for Peak Reverse Blocking Voltage on my curve tracer? Peak Reverse Blocking Voltage - VRRM What It Is:With no gate signal applied, peak reverse blocking voltage is the maximum reverse voltage that can be applied to the anode without causing reverse anode current in excess of the specified maximum. ...	835719
How do I use "ping" to check if my TLA and my computer are connected correctly? In Windows 2000 or Windows XP click on the "Start" button and select "Run". Type "cmd" in the box and click "Ok". At the prompt, type "ping" then a space, and then the name or IP address of the...

How do I use TVC ActiveX control in Matlab? Here is a simple example using the TVC activex control:function get_waveform_tvc;if (exist('instrHandle'))delete(instrHandle)endclear allinstrHandle = actxserver('TVC.TvcCtrl.1');instrHandle.Descriptor = 'GPIB0::1::INSTR';out = instrHandle.Query('*...	835721
How do I view a .dj file saved to the floppy drive on my TDS3000 series oscilloscope? The file extension .dj means the file saved was intended to be sent to a DeskJet printer, and a file extension of .lj is a LaserJet printer and an extension of .tj is a ThinkJet printer file. The waveform files should have been saved as one of the... This FAQ applies to: TDS3014B, TDS3032B, TDS3034B, TDS3054B, TDS3012, TDS3014, TDS3032, TDS3034, TDS3054, TDS3012B	835722
How do registers work for event or error handling on Tektronix oscilloscopes? Registers are digital storage areas where information can be read or stored, or both. There are 5 registers in your Tektronix scope, each register having 8 bits. Three of the registers can be written to and read from the controller, two registers...	835723
How do Tektronix oscilloscopes handle multiple errors or events? There are also two queues, which are like stacked registers. Queues can store many pieces of information by stacking them up. The queues are FIFO or “first-in, first-out”, so the first time you read it you get the oldest message. Reading a...	835724
How does an oscilloscope work? Modern digital oscilloscopes fall into one of three classes: digital storage oscilloscopes (DSO), digital phosphor oscilloscopes (DPO), and sampling oscilloscopes. All three have vertical, horizontal, acquisition, and triggering systems.The vertical...	835725
