_______________________________________________________________
• The timebase and sampling rate can be set independently. The sampling rate
is selected depending on the timebase setting.
• When the following timebase values are selected, displayed waveforms are
compressed in the horizontal (time axis) direction as shown.
20 ms/div → x1/2
10 ms/div → x1/5

To automatically set the time axis range
When you press the AUTO key, a suitable time range for the input sig-
nal is selected and measurement starts. (This applies only to the
Memory Function.)
See: "3.7 Measurement With Automatic Range Setting (Auto-Ranging Func-
tion)" (
p.58)
To minimize noise during measurement
If the sampling rate is set too fast, when the input waveform ampli-
tude is small, the difference between maximum and minimum values
may become quite large as a result of sudden impulses such as
noise. To prevent such phenomena, select a slower sampling rate or
enable the input module's lowpass filter ( p.52).
The data refresh rate is not allowed to exceed the maximum sampling rate of the
input module.
During the period when data are not updated, the same data are measured,
resulting in a stair-shaped waveform. Even when the same signal is sampled
simultaneously by two units, the data may differ due to differences in sampling
rate, frequency bandwidth, and frequency response.
