Acquire the Signal
Sampling Proces s
Acquisition is the process of sampling an
analog signal, converting it into d igital data,
and assembling it into a waveform record,
which is then stored in acq uisition memory.

Real-Time Sampling
Record points
DPO4000 an d MSO4000 Series oscilloscopes
use real-time sampling. In real-time sampling,
the instrument digitizes all of the points it
acquires using a single trigger event.
