Clipped
Acquired waveform Displayed waveform
H
Set horizontal scale, position, and resolution (record length) so that the
acquired waveform record includes the waveform attributes of interest with
good sampling density on the waveform. These settings define the horizontal
acquisition window, described in
Horizontal Acquisition Window Consider-
ations
on page 3--18.
NOTE
. Waveform data outside of the vertical acquisition window is clipped; that
is, the data is limited to the minimum or maximum boundaries of the vertical
acquisition window. This causes inaccuracies in amplitude-related measure-
ments. Refer to
Vertical Acquisition Window Considerations on page 3--14 .
Trigger and Display.
Set basic trigger controls to gate waveform acquisition, and
use the display to interactively scale, position, and offset waveforms. Refer to the
sections
Triggering
on page 3--49 and
Displaying Waveforms
on page 3--99.
Flexible Control Access. This manual focuses on basic setup, first through the
front panel, and then through use of the application user interface (UI).
