Sampling modes
The acquisition system can process the data as it is ac quired, averaging or enveloping the waveform data to
produce enhanced waveform records. Once the waveform record exists (enhanced or not), you can use the
post processing capabilities of the instrument to further analyze that record.
Refer to Acquisition Mode
(see page 836) for a description of the acquisition modes.

Waveform record
While sampling on the input signal provides the data that makes up the waveform record for any given
channel, the instrument builds the waveform record through use of some common parameters ("common"
means they affect the waveforms in all channels).
The next figure shows how these common parameters define the waveform record. They defi ne how much
data is taken and the location w ithin the data stream. These parameters include the following:
690 DSA/DPO70000D, MSO/DPO/DSA70000C, DPO7000C, and MSO/DPO5000 Series
