Using FastFrame
FastFrame is an acquisition mode that lets you capture many records in a larger
record, and then view and measure each record individually.
FastFrame lets you quickly capture multiple acquisitions in the acquisition
memory of a single channel. Figure 3--17 shows how FastFrame combines the
desired captured frames into one larger waveform. For example, F astFrame
would let you store 4000 frames (depending on the record length option
installed) of 500 samples each into one waveform.
FastFrame mode lets you jump to and view the desired frame. Time Stamps can
display the absolute trigger time for a specific frame and the relative time
between triggers of two specified frames. FastFrame lets you compare different
waveforms. Math is done on each frame.
