Acquiring and Displaying Waveforms
3–30
TDS 500B, TDS 600B, & TDS 700A User Manual
TDS 500B and TDS 700A models only: Press DISPLAY ➞ Mode (main) ➞
Normal (pop-up) ➞ Style (main) ➞ Vectors, Dots, Intensified Samples,
Infinite Persistence, or Variable Persistence (side)
Vectors style displays vectors (lines) between the record points.
Dots style displays waveform record points as dots.
Intensified Samples style also displays waveform record points as dots. However,
the points actually sampled are displayed in the color labeled “Zone” in the
Display Colors menus.
In addition to choosing Intensified Samples in the side menu, the oscilloscope
must be interpolating (equivalent time must be off for TDS 500B and TDS 700A
models) or Zoom must be on with its horizontal expansion greater that 1X. See
Interpolation on page 3–19; see Zooming on Waveforms on page 3–39.
Variable Persistence style accumulates the record points on screen and displays
them only for a specific time interval. In that mode, the display behaves like that
of an analog oscilloscope. You enter the time for that option with the keypad or
the general purpose knob. Record points are also displayed with colors that vary
depending on the persistence of the point. See Choose a Palette on page 3–35.
Infinite Persistence style accumulates the record points until you change some
control (such as scale factor) causing the display to be erased.
NOTE. TDS 500B and TDS 700A models only: See Using InstaVuT Acquisition
Mode, on page 3–44, to see how Style setup differs for InstaVu mode.
