However, in the Peak Detect acquisition mode, acquisitions are made at
the fastest sample rate, and the minimum and maximum values for the
period associated with the actual sample rate are stored. This way, you
can capture narrow excursions on a signal at longer horizontal time/div
settings.
Because minimum and maximum values for a sample period are stored,
you can use the Peak Detect acquisition mode to avoid waveform aliasing.
To select the Peak Detect acquisition mode:
1 Press [Acquire].
2 In the Acquire menu, press Acquisition.
3 Continue pressing the Acquisition softkey or turn the entry knob to
select “Peak Detect”.
