Using the Trigger Menu
Managing Memory
To set the sampling rates (Timing only)
A timing analyzer samples the data based on its own internal clock. A
short sample period provides more detail about the device under test; a
long sample period allows more time before memory is full. However, if
the sample period is too large, some information may be missed.
1 In the Analyzer Trigger menu, select Acquisition Control.
The Acquisition Control menu pops up. If the acquisition mode is set to
Automatic, the menu contains a single field and an explanation. If
Acquisition has been customized, it has 3 or 4 fields and a picture
showing where the trigger is currently placed in memory.
2 If the mode is Automatic, select the field and toggle it to Manual.
The menu now shows three fields and a picture.
3 Set the Sample Period field using the knob, or select it to use the
keypad to enter the period.
4 Select Done.
Next time you take a measurement, the analyzer will sample at the rate
you entered.
