Selecting the Horizontal Mode
Your instrument has three horizontal modes. Automatic is the default mode. Select the horizontal mode that works best
for your test setup.
To set the horizontal mode, select Horiz/Acq
> Hor izon tal/Acquisition Setup to display
the horizontal control window. Choose one
of the modes described below.
In Automatic mode you can set the Scale and
Sample Rate. Record length is a dependent
variable. If changing the scale would cause
the record length to exceed the R ecord
Length Limit, the sample rate is decreased
to the next available setting.
If the sampling mode is real time and
the sample rate is at the real time limit,
attempting to increase the sample rate has
no effect.
