Using FastFrame acquisitions
Consider the following operating characteristics when using FastFrame :
■
You can push Run/Stop to terminate a FastFrame sequence. If any frames were acquired, they are displayed. If no frames
were acquired, the previous FastFrame waveform is displayed.
■
Because FastFrame introduces additional processing time into the operation cycle of acquire, process, and display, it is best
to use Single Sequence Acquisition (see Acquire menu, Stop After menu). With Single Sequence selected, you will see the
current acquisition sequence; otherwise, the display lags the current sequence by one sequence. You can also see the
current sequence by pushing the Run/Stop button to stop the acquisition.
■
FastFrame greatly reduces the minimum trigger holdoff time, enabling you to acquire and store records at rates of up to
225,000 captures per second (until the number of frames requested has been acquired). FastAcq mode also provides
exceptionally fast acquisition rates. Both modes have advantages. FastFrame preserves the actual data associated with
each trigger event for further analysis or visual inspection, but only acquires at the fast rate for short bursts of time. FastAcq
mode combines the data from all trigger events into a single pixel map, but can acquire at exceptionally fast rates
continuously, not just for short bursts.
■
In single sequence acquisition mode, statistics are calculated using all frames in the current acquisition except for Average
and Envelope frames. If the currently selected frame is the Average or Envelope Frame, measurements are taken on the
frame but statistics are still based on all frames excluding the Average and Envelope frames. Statistics reset with each new
single sequence acquisition.
■
On a reference waveform, statistics are derived from all frames in that reference waveform when FastFrame is on. If
FastFrame is off, the statistics reflect only the first frame that is displayed.
Use print screen
If you have an attached keyboard you can use the Print Screen (Prt Sc) key to copy the screen contents to the Windows
clipboard. This bitmap does not include the waveforms or graticule. The waveforms and graticule are displayed by the graphics
adapter outside of normal Windows mechanisms.
To use. To capture the instrument screen with its graticule and waveforms, use the Edit menu Copy command after selecting
Image in the Copy Setup menu, or to build a bitmap file, select the File menu Save As command. Click Options under Screen
Capture, and then select Full Screen under View. For additional information, see Save As Dialog Box: Screen Captures.
You can display the current date and time on screen so that they appear on hard copies you print. To do this, toggle the Display
Date/Time button On from the Display Setup control window Objects tab. If you need to reset the date and time for any reason,
right-click the date and time and then select Set Date/Time.
Behavior. Pressing the Print Screen key on an attached keyboard copies the screen image minus the waveform and graticule to
the Windows clipboard. Using the Edit menu Copy command copies the screen image with the waveform and graticule.
Analyze menu
The Analyze menu provides access to search and place marks on acquired waveforms. It also provides access to tools for DDR
analysis and other applications that are installed on your instrument.
Cursors menu
Use the Cursors menu options to select cursor types, mode, and position, and to turn cursors on and off.
