4.3 Sample Rate, Measurement Time and Trigger Offset
The maximum demodulation bandwidths that can be obtained during the measure-
ment, depending on the sample rate, are listed in the tables below for different demod-
ulation filter types. The allowed value range of the measurement time and trigger offset
depends on the selected demodulation bandwidth and demodulation filter. If the AF fil-
ter or the AF trigger are not active, the measurement time increases by 20 %.
A maximum of 24 million samples can now be captured, assuming sufficient memory is
available; thus the new maximum measurement time has also increased, according to
the following formula:
Meas.time
max
= Sample count
max
/ sample rate
The minimum trigger offset is (-Meas.time
max
)
