Explanation
You can turn repetitive sampling ON or OFF. When repetitive sampling mode is turned
ON, the sample rate is set greater than or equal to 1 GS/s (greater than or equal to 2
GS/s when interleave mode is ON) for certain T/div settings.
When repetitive sampling is turned OFF, sampling is performed at a rate of up to 500
MS/s (or 1 GS/s when interleave mode is ON). When the number of displayed data
points is less than 500, data is interpolated and displayed.
However, even when repetitive sampling is turned OFF, repetitive sampling may be
performed depending on the time axis setting.
Possible T/div Settings for Performing Repetitive Sampling
If repetitive sampling mode is turned ON and the time axis is set according to the table
below, repetitive sampling is performed. The T/div settings for performing repetitive
sampling vary depending on the specified record length.

Notes on Repetitive Sampling
When repetitive sampling is in progress, waveform acquisition using the Single(N) trigger
mode is not possible.
