Note: The Sample time is the "resolution" of the waveform, i.e. time between two samples.
Auto reset means that a reset is performed after each trig off.
Reset time is the time it takes to perform a reset each time you hit Reset.
Sample time is the time between individual data point of the waveform.
Waveform recording time is the range of user selectable recording times the Piranha
allows.
Note that in Timed and Free run you may get negative readings, for instance if you
press reset when a signal is present on the detector.
