Roll mode (CSA7000 Series & TDS7000 Series only) gives a strip chart
recorder-like display for low frequency signals. Roll mode lets you see acquired
data points without waiting for the acquisition of a complete waveform record.
For example, in normal acquisition mode, when the Horizontal Scale is 1 second
per division, 10 seconds are required to fill the waveform record. Without roll
mode you must wait 10 seconds to see that the position control is set wrong.
With roll mode you can start seeing results almost immediately.

The following table indicates which acquisition features and modes are incompatible
with other features or modes:
