7. Select the "Coupling".
8.
Adjust the vertical "Scale"
, and the vertical "Position".
9. Proceed with the acquisition setup, see Chapter 5.9.4, "Setting the acquisition",
on page 187.
5.9.4 Setting the acquisition
Prerequisites:
●
Probes are connected.
●
Vertical and horizontal settings are adjusted.
The settings are described in Chapter 5.4.2, "Mode settings", on page 129.
1. Open "Menu" > "Acquire" > "Mode" tab.
2. To configure the waveform-specific acquisition settings, enable "Multi waveform".
Activate the waveforms "W1"/"W2"/"W3" you need.
You can set up and display up to three waveforms per channel.
3. Select the "Decimation" - for example, Peak detect or High res.
4. Select the "Arithmetic" - for example, Average or Envelope.
The instrument precludes incompatible combinations, like "Peak detect" with "Aver-
age".
5. If "Arithmetic"="Average" is selected for a waveform, enter the "Average count",
that is the number of waveforms used for average calculation.
6. Set the aritmetic reset condition for the average and envelope calculation:
a) If "Arithmetic Reset > Mode"="Time" is selected, enter the "Time".
b) If "Arithmetic Reset > Mode"="Waveforms" is selected, enter the "Count".
5.9.5 Starting and stopping acquisition
You can control the acquisition in two ways:
●
Running continuous acquisition until you stop it.
●
Running one acquisition or a given number of acquisitions.
If "Envelope" or "Average" is selected in the "Acquisition" tab, one acquisition
means a cycle containing as many acquired waveforms as required to satisfy the
reset conditions.
Prerequisites:
●
Probes are connected.
●
Vertical and horizontal settings are adjusted.
●
Triggering is set.
●
Channels to be acquired are turned on.
