The type of equivalent-time sampling the instrument uses is called random equivalent-time sampling.
Although it takes the samples sequentially in time, it takes them randomly w ith respect to the trigger.
Random sampling occurs because the instrument sample clock runs asynchronously with respect to the
input signal and the signal trigger. The instrument takes samples independently of the trigger position and
displa
ys them based on the time difference between the sample and the trigger.
