Seconds per Division
The 222PS can display a signal with a range of 20Ăs to 50Ăns. If magniĆ
fication is on, the instrument's range is 2Ăs to 5Ăns. This means that the
222PS can display a waveform that represents as long a period as
200Ăseconds or as short a period as 50Ăns (in the latter case, with
magnification on).
To change the secondsĆperĆdivision setting, turn the outer knob
(labeled
SEC/DIV
). The instrument displays the resulting seconds per
division at the bottom of the screen. The 222PS uses a 1-2-5 switchĆ
ing sequence:this means that each click of the knob changes the time
scale from, for example, 1Ăms to 2Ăms and then to 5Ăms, before going
to 10Ă ms.
NOTE
If you are using battery power at slow time bases, turn off
the timeĆout feature described on page 3Ć37. Otherwise,
the instrument maytime out and turn itself off before it can
completelyacquire the signal.
Aliasing
Aliased waveforms are waveforms that appear to have a frequency
much lower than is accurate.
Aliasing can occur when the seconds per division setting, and thereĆ
fore the sample rate, is too low to display a high frequency waveform
accurately. When this occurs, the instrument does not sample the
signal often enough. The resulting waveform it displays is misleading.
Figure 3Ć11 illustrates an aliased waveform.
A common symptom of aliasing is an unstable display even when the
TRIG'D light is on.
