Wander Compensation
The time-base
Wander Compensation
checkbox enables or disables the Time Base Wander
Correction for a measurement. Small variations in the DSO
internal reference time base
appear as low-frequency jitter (wander) in the acquired signal.
For mask tests and edge jitter measurements, the DSO analyzes the acquired samples and
removes the effect of the temporal drift (wander). Wander correction improves the accuracy
of DSO
measurements but may increase the time to acquire data. For applications where
measurement speed is important, disabling wander correction is suggested. Reducing the
number of blocks to less than 128 significantly reduces the effect of wander and increases
throughput.

Save: after clicking on this icon, a save window appears enabling to save configurations, data
and measurements files for each acquisition.
In the case of being connected to multiple DSOs, there are check boxes next to each DSO,
check the one related to the needed DSO and save preferences. Each checked DSO has a
separate folder. If the 3 options Conf, Data and Measurements are checked; in this folder 3
kinds of files will be found.
Conf
