Sampling Mode
The two sampling modes are real time and equivalent time. Real time is
primarily used on events that occur either once or infrequently. Equivalent
time is primarily used on repetitive signals.
Real time
In the real-time sampling mode, all the data points that make up a waveform
come from one trigger event. Therefore, you want the highest sample rate
possible to better reconstruct the signal. The real-time sampling mode has
the following features:
•
8 bits of vertical resolution
•
Fast waveform throughput
•
Ability to turn on or off the bandwidth limit filter
•
Ability to turn on or off the interpolator
•
Selectable sample rate
•
Selectable record length
