Figure 3- 9: The waveform record and its defining parameters
As Figure 3--9 shows, the instrument acquires points in order from left to right,
with each point from a separate trigger event, and delayed from that event by:
horizontal delay + (sample interval x (sample number -- 1))
When all the points in the waveform record have been sampled and digitized, the
waveform record is in acquisition memory and becomes available for display (or
use in math waveforms, storing, exporting, and elsewhere). See
Acquisition
Cycle
, which follows.
For a control-oriented discussion of the waveform record, see:

on page 3--17.

page 3--19.
The process of building a record is a subpart the acquisition cycle, which
describes how the instrument cycles through recognizing a trigger, taking a
sample and processing it according to sample mode, and adding it to a waveform
record. This manual describes the normal acquisition cycle in
Process Overview
Map
on page 2--6. Note the following points regarding acquisition cycles:
H
A waveform record exists, either on display or as an icon on the waveform
bar, until it is replaced by a more recent acquisition or until you clear the
record. The process of clearing waveform records is described on page 3--26.
H
Choose the FrameScan cycle when you want to test for anomalies in
Pseudo-Random Bit Streams. See
FrameScan Acquisitions
on page 3--30.
