Acquisition Features
WaveAlert Waveform Anomaly Detection. This feature automatically detects
anomalous waveforms by comparing the current waveform to the previous
waveform. WaveAler
t sets how the oscilloscope responds: s top on anomaly, b eep
on anomaly, and save anomalous waveform to a USB flash drive. It's useful for
capturing signal glitches and intermittent waveform errors. (See page 59.)
Separate Digitizers. This feature ensures accurate timing measurements with
separate digitizers for each channel. Each digitizer can sample at up to the
maximum sample rate; the acquisition on all channels is always concurrent to
provide full single-shot bandwidth on each channel.
Normal Acquisition. This feature acquires 10,000 point waveforms to capture
horizontal detail, and then you can use the zoom
function to analyze the
detail. (See page 57.)
Fast Trigger Acquisition. This feature acquires up to 3,400 waveforms per second
(500 point mode) so you can see rapidly changing signals or intermittent si
gnal
irregularities. (Seepage57.)
Pretrigger. You can capture signals that occur before the trigger point. You can
position the trigger point at the beginning of the acquisition, at the e nd, or at
any location in between. (See page 67.)
Delay. You can also delay the acquisition so that it starts after the trigger point.
Use delay when you want to acquire the signal at a specific time after the trigger
point. (See page 68.)
Peak Detect. This feature allows you to see pulses as narrow as 1 ns even at the
slower time base settings. Peak Detect h elps you see noise and glitches in your
signal. (Seepage55.)
Signal Processing
Features
Average. You can apply averaging to your signal to remove uncorrelated noise
and improve measurement accuracy. (See page 56.)
