Realtime Sampling Option

Realtime sampling specifies that the oscilloscope produce the waveform display from samples collected during one trigger event (that is, one acquisition).

Use Realtime sampling to capture infrequent triggers, unstable triggers, or complex changing waveforms, such as eye diagrams.

Realtime sampling can be turned on in Normal, Peak Detect, or High Resolution acquisition modes. It cannot be turned on when the acquisition mode is Averaging.

When Realtime sampling is on (as in the default setup):

•When less than 1000 samples can be collected in the time spanned by the screen, a sophisticated reconstruction filter is used to fill in and enhance the waveform display.

•If you press the Stop key, and pan and zoom through the waveform using the Horizontal and Vertical controls, only the last trigger’s acquisition will be displayed.

When Realtime sampling is off:
