Changing the oscillscope from Tektronix TDS 210 to Tektronix TDS 3032C

[hotha_rkz]

I am using my own Labview program to collect data from Oscilloscope.I changed my oscilloscope from Tektronix TDS 210 to Tektronix 3032c. The signal from the Tektronix TDS 3032c has a huge noise now. The singal can be seen only when the probe setup is 1kx.But I have a smooth signal with my old scope.Can this be due to the settings of new scope?If so what are the parameters I should try changing.

Thank you

Don't know.  Guess it's time to break out the programmer's guide to figure out what's changed.  Unfortunately I don't have the 210 manual or I'd be more specific with my help.  😞

You really shouldn't be changing the probe setting unless you are changing the probes.  I seriously doubt you are using a 1kx probe.  But now you got me wondering.  I might have to go play with some of my setups when I manage to find some time.

There is a bandwidth setting.  You could change that to a lower bandwidth.

Digging a little bit I found that the TDS210 has a bandwidth of 60MHz and the TDS3032C has a bandwidth of 500MHz.  Try the lower bandwidth settings and see if that helps.  I'm 95% sure this is a wider bandwidth issue.

Here the manuals..... Can you give some help...... (y)

I'm digging through code I did for the 3034C.  To set the bandwitdth you need the following command

CH1:BANDWIDTH BW

 where CH1 is the channel (you can use CH2, MATH, etc.) and BW is the bandwidth setting.  Available bandwidth settings I have are:

Full Bandwidth: FULL

150MHz: ONEFifty

20MHz: TWENTY

So my guess for what you want is

CH1:BANDWIDTH TWENTY

This did not help. 😞

Probably time to see some code.
