Measurement Mode
Sampling Measurement Mode
3. If the sampling completion condition is not satisfied after additional 5 points
measurement, linear sampling mode changes the sampling interval to two times
the previous interval, and continues sampling measurement. Measurement data
is updated as described in step 2.
4. This discarding and doubling of the sampling interval is repeated until the
sampling completion condition is satisfied. By the end of the measurement, 10
measurement result data is stored in memory.
Parameters
To set up the linear sampling measurement, specify the following parameters on
MEASURE: SAMPLING SETUP page. See Table 2-1.
Parameter Description
MODE
Sampling mode. LINEAR.
INITIAL INTERVAL
The sampling interval for first

samples.
Allowable range: 60

s to 65.535 s.
NO.OF SAMPLES
Number of data to be stored by end of measurement.
Maximum: 10001. If there are multiple measurement units,
this value must be 10001/(number of units) or less.
TOTAL SAMP.TIME
Total sampling time. Does not include
HOLD TIME
. This is
the time from the 1st trigger to the sampling completion.
One of the sampling completion conditions, so sampling
stops after this time elapses.
