Acquisition Features
WaveAlert Waveform Anomaly Detection. This feature automatically
detects anomalous waveforms by comparing the current waveform to
the previou s waveform. WaveAlert sets how the oscilloscope responds:
stop on anomaly, beep on anomaly, and save anomalous waveform to a
USB flash drive. It's useful for capturing signal glitches and intermittent
waveform errors. (See page 69.)
Separate Digitizers. This feature ensures accurate timing measurements
with separate digitizers for each channel. Each digitizer can sample at
up to the maximum sample rate; the acqui si tion on all channels is alway s
concurrent to provide full single-shot bandwidth on each channel.
Normal Acquisition. This feature acquires 10,000 point waveforms to
capture horizontal detail, and then you can use the zoom
function to
analyze the detail. (See p age 67.)
Fast Tr igger A cquisition. This feature acquires up to 3,400 w avefo rms
per second (500 po int mode) so you can see rapidly changing signals or
intermittent signal irregularit ies. (See pa ge 67.)
Pretrigger. You can capture signals that occu r before the trigger po int.
You can position the trigger point at the b eginning o f the acquisitio n, at
the end, or at any location in between. (See page 8 1.)
