It is intended to be used to measure both the power line frequency and higher frequency components of steady state and transient voltages that may be present in the cow contact area. Definitions Waveform: The path traced by the voltage and plotted as a function of time. Instantaneous Value: The magnitude of the waveform a any instant in time. The magnitude is obtained from the vertical axis. This value can be obtained from interpreting it from the volts/div setting or use of the cursors function of the Tekscope. Periodic Waveform: A waveform that continually repeats itself in regular intervals. ie: 60Hz contribution in the cow contact area. Period (T): The time between regular intervals. Cycle: The portion of a waveform contained in one period. Frequency (f): The number of cycles in one second measured in Hertz (Hz).

2 One period at 60Hz 16.67ms 1/60Hz.01667s and 1/.01667s 60Hz Note: For a clean sine wave, the AC rms value of the waveform is the peak value divided by the square root of 2. In Figure 1 the maximum value (or peak value) of the waveform is 0.707V the ACrms value is 0.50V Scientific Notation Prefix Abbreviation Power of 10 Nano n 0.000000001 = 10-9 Micro 0.000001 = 10-6 Milli m 0.001 = 10-3 Kilo k 1000 = 10 3 Mega M 1000000 = 10 6 Giga G 1000000000 =10 9 If one has a unit with a prefix and wishes to remove the prefix (ie: millisecond to seconds), multiply by the power of 10. To add a prefix to a unit (ie: volts to millivolts), divide by the power of 10. Examples 0.026V (volts).026 X 0.001 26mV (millivolts) 16.67ms (milliseconds) 16.67 X 0.001 0.01667s (seconds)

4 Overview of Steps Goal: Want to have a common setting that can be recalled by any ag rep for comparison to other reps measurements. Listed is an overview of what this setup will provide: This basic setup will provide a 20 second rolling view on the Tekscope. o The Tekscope will detect single pulses as low as 2 Microseconds but will not identify duration without changing the time on the horizontal axis. Triggering will not be needed for the 20 second view but will be needed when set at or below 200ms SEC/DIV on horizontal axis. If the capture of a specific event is desired, just decrease the Horizontal SEC/DIV to 200ms or less and use RUN/STOP button to reset trigger (no change of Acquire is necessary). TEKSCOPE settings as suggested for Ag Rep Italic is what you need to change SAVE/RECALL Step 1 Recall Factory Setup Step 2 OK Recall Setup Step 3 VERTICAL Changes below. If not listed, the factory setting is same. Display CH1 and turn all other waveforms off.

Change settings to common set up for VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL, TRIGGER, and MENUS. Save settings so that setup can be recalled at any time. 1. RESET to factory default SAVE/RECALL Step 1 Recall Factory Setup Step 2 OK Recall Setup Step 3 TRIGGER LEVEL Pushing CLEAR MENU will clear the display of the settings being changed.

14 If the capture of a specific event is desired, just decrease the Horizontal SEC/DIV to 200ms or less (no change of Acquire is necessary), and adjust the trigger level. Display and Hold a transient on the Screen TRIGGER Set the TRIGGER LEVEL (the arrow on the right side of the screen) slightly above or below the steady state waveform. MENU Type = Edge Source = Ch 1 Coupling = DC Slope = positive Mode = Auto & Holdoff MENUS: ACQUIRE Mode = Pk Detect Stop After = Single Sequence Previously set Press the HOLD button until RUN: appears in the Status Line. When the input voltage exceeds the trigger level a new waveform will appear on the display, and Hold: will appear in the Status Line. Repeat this procedure until an acceptable waveform is obtained.
15 Save Waveform Displayed on the Screen MENU: SAVE/RECALL Save Ch 1 = (an open waveform memory location 1-10; use +/- to change the memory location). Note the Location, Date, and Time when waveform was captured. OK Save Waveform, OK Overwrite Waveform (if want to do this) Waveform is captured as shown below: Save CH 1 Pick # of waveform saved Toggle # using TOGGLE switch OK overwrite waveform WAVEFORM OFF button will clear screen
16 Recall a Saved Waveform MENU: SAVE/RECALL Recall Saved Waveform = (From Wfm 1-10; use =/- to change the memory location). Note: Waveforms stored from CH 1 are recalled with REF A, and waveforms stored from CH 2 are recalled with REF B. OK Recall Waveform
