Sample
Peak Detect m ode uses the highest
and lowest of all the samples con-
tained in two consecutive acquisition
intervals. This mode only works with
real-time, noninterpolated sampling
and is useful for catching high
frequency glitches.
Peak Detect
Hi Res mode calculates the average of
all the samples for each acquisition

interval. Hi-Res provides a higher-res-
olution, lower-bandwidth waveform.

Envelope mode finds the highest and
lowest record points over many
acquisitions. Envelope uses Peak
