Value Description
Resolution Time between two samples
Resolution = 1 / Sample Rate
SignalResolution Time between two samples in this waveform. The value can differ from
Resolution if the source is, for example, a spectrum, a bus signal, a cor-
relation or a measurement. The value is determined automatically con-
sidering the waveform parameters and their dependencies. If the signal is
a spectrum, the value indicates the frequency range of FFT bins.
EnhancementMode Method to increase the sample rate if the required sample rate is higher
than the ADC sample rate.
InterpolationMode Interpolation method. The value is relevant when the enhancement mode
is interpolated time.
DecimationMode Method to reduce the number of data samples to achieve the required
sample rate
DecimationFactor Factor to the number of data samples to achieve the required sample
rate
Decimation factor = ADC sample rate / Sample rate
TraceArithmetics Off, Envelope, or Average
InterleavedTraceCount Number of y-values saved at each sampling time. The value is usually 1.
The value is 2, if min and max values are saved for each sample, for
example, for envelope waveforms.
SignalFormat Format of the data values:
●
FLOAT: floating point numbers, general export format
●
INT (8 Bit): Integer 8 bit, used for "Raw (ADC sample)" data export.
●
INT (16 Bit): Integer 16 bit, used for "Raw (ADC sample)" data
export in high definition mode.
Timestamp Absolute time of the waveform recording
ByteOrder Endianness, only relevant for raw data export in high definition mode
(SignalFormat = INT (16 Bit)).
●
LSB first: little endian, least significant byte first
●
MSB first: big endian, most significant byte first
NumericFormat Number format of bus values and digital channel data (bit pattern format)
Record length
RecordLength Number of samples in a waveform record of one acquisition
HWRecordLength Equivalent to the RecordLength
SignalRecordLength Number of required samples in the waveform. The value can differ from
RecordLength and HWRecordLength if the source is, for example, a
spectrum, a bus signal, a correlation or a measurement. The value is
determined automatically considering the waveform parameters and their
dependencies. If the signal is a spectrum, the value indicates the number
of FFT bins.
SignalHardwareRecordLength Number of samples actually available in this waveform, including the
number of required samples in the waveform and the additional samples
needed for further computation
