Sampling Modes
Depending on your timebase, the following sampling modes are available:
WaveStream Mode - This fast viewing mode provides
brightness-graded intensity with a decay time similar to the
action of phosphor on an analog screen. WaveStream mode
operates at up to 10 GS/s with an update rate up to 8000
waveforms/second for better capture of higher frequency
abnormal events.
Real Time Mode - A single-shot (real time) acquisition is a
series of digitized voltage values sampled on the input signal
at a uniform rate.
Sequence Mode - In sequence mode, the complete
waveform consists of a number of fixed-size segments
acquired in single-shot mode
Roll Mode - This mode is invoked automatically for slow
acquisitions when the time per division is 200 ms/div or
greater. Roll mode samples at 2 MS/s (depending on
memory availability).
RIS Mode - Random Interleaved Sampling is an acquisition
technique that allows effective sampling rates higher than
the maximum single-shot sampling rate. It is used on
repetitive waveforms with a stable trigger
WaveStream/Intensity
The
I
NTENSITY
knob adjusts the brightness
of your trace. Pushing the button toggles
between WaveStream fast-viewing mode
and real-time mode.
