74 Agilent 1000B Series Oscilloscopes User’s Guide
Use the equivalent- time sampling mode to capture repetitive
high- frequency signals at greater sample rates than are available in the
real- time sampling mode.
Do not use the equivalent- time mode for single- shot events or pulse
waveforms.
The benefits of the equivalent-time sampling mode are negligible when
sample rates are the same as available in the real-time sampling mode.
In the 1000B Series oscilloscopes, the equivalent time sampling mode can
achieve up to 40 ps of horizontal resolution (equivalent to 25 GSa/s).
To select the Equivalent-Time sampling mode:
1 Press [Acquire].
2 In the Acquire menu, select Sampling to choose the “Equ-Time” sampling
mode.
