Waveform Record
The instrument builds the waveform
record through use of the following
parameters:
H Sample interval: The time
between sample points.
H Record length: The numbe r of
samples required to fill a
waveform record.
H Trigger point: The zero time
reference in a waveform record.
H Horizontal position: When
horizontal delay is off, the
horizontal position is a
percentage of the waveform
record between 0 and 99. 9
percent. The trigger point and the
horizontal reference are at the
same time in the waveform
record. For example, if the
horizontal position is 50 percent,
then the t rigger point is in the
middle of the waveform record.
When horizontal delay is on, the
time from the trigger point to the
horizontal reference is the
horizontal delay.
