Set up FastFrame setup tab controls
From the Horiz /Acq menu, select FastFrame Setup; then open the Setup tab.
Overview. Use the FastFrame Control Window Setup tab to select the event Duration and Frame Size when FastFrame is turned
on.
To use.
1. Click the FastFrame button to turn FastFrame mode On or Off.
2. Click in the Event/Frame entry boxes and use the multipurpose knobs to select the Frame Size, Duration, and the Number
of Events/Frames.
3. Click a None, Average, or Envelope option button from the Summary Frame list to replace the last frame with one that is the
computed, average or envelope, of all frames in the set.
4. Click a Single Sequence Mode Stop Condition option button to define how to stop FastFrame acquisition.
5. Start the acquisition; it is recommended that you use Single acquisition mode rather than Run/Stop mode.
NOTE. If you change the oscilloscope controls while Fastframe is running, the controls will be returned to the user and the
maximum number of frames may not be captured.
Behavior. The Frame Size is the record length and defines the number of samples in each frame.
The Event/Frame Duration defines the number of frames to store in the acquisition memory of a single channel. The product of
the frame size and the event/frame duration is constrained within the available memory. If more frames are needed, the
instrument will automatically decrease the record length; if more samples are needed, the instrument will automatically decrease
the frame count.
NOTE. Because of the overhead associated with each frame, the maximum number of frames the instrument can capture (from a
given record length) is less than the number theoretically possible.
