Antialiasing

At slower sweep speeds, the sample rate is reduced and a proprietary display algorithm is used to minimize the likelihood of aliasing.

By default, Antialiasing is enabled. You should leave Antialiasing enabled unless there is a specific reason to switch it off.

If you need to switch Antialiasing off, press

Utilities&Options&Preferences and press the Antialiasing softkey to switch the feature off. The displayed waveforms will be more susceptible to aliasing.

Using the XGA video output

A standard XGA video output connector is provided on the rear panel. You can connect a monitor to provide a larger display, or to provide a display at a viewing position away from the oscilloscope.

The oscilloscope’s built-in display will remain on even when an external display is connected.
