High Resolution 
 
This mode uses an over-sample technique to average the neighboring points of the 
sample waveform. This reduces the random noise on the input signal, generates a 
much smoother waveform on the screen and improves the vertical resolution. This is 
generally used when the sample rate of the digital converter is greater than the 
storage rate of the acquisition memory. 
 
Note:   
⚫  The "Average" and "High Res" modes use different averaging methods. The 
former uses "Multi-sample Average" and the latter uses "Single-sample 
Average". 
⚫  In "High Res" mode, the oscilloscope improves the measurement accuracy at 
the cost of bandwidth. Each time the sampling rate changes, a window 
displaying the current bandwidth appears at the lower-left corner of the screen. 
⚫  In "High Res" mode, the highest waveform refresh rate mode is not supported. 
 
 
Sampling Mode 
 
This oscilloscope only supports the real-time sampling mode. In this mode, the 
oscilloscope produce the waveform display from samples collected during one trigger 
event. The highest real-time sample rate on the analog channel of MSO7000/DS7000 
series is 10 GSa/s. The current sample rate is displayed under CH SampleRate. 
 
 
 
Sample Rate 
 
Sampling is the process of converting the analog signal into the digital signal at a 
specified time interval and then restoring them in sequence. The sample rate is the 
reciprocal of the time interval. 
The sample rate of the analog channel is related to the current channel mode. The 
maximum real-time sample rate in the single-channel mode of the oscilloscope is 10 
GSa/s. The maximum real-time sample rate in the dual-channel mode is 5 GSa/s, and 
the maximum real-time sample rate in the 4-channel mode is 2.5 GSa/s.
