Escort 3016B, 3008B, 3004B Sampling period, Manual with the F2 key Urge triggering, Trigger

9 Memory mode

-Raz Blocks: deleting all the blocks: the current block is the #1 block

Start: start condition of the acquisition

-Manual: with the F2 key Urge triggering

-Trigger: with an association of the analogical or logical channels - see Chapter 6

Trigger

-Waiting for: after a delay or at a precise date and time

-Automatic: immediate; automatic stop when the block is full

Pre-triggering: definition of the position of the start trigger in the acquisition

-pre-trigger and post-trigger of the acquisition (before or after Start); and if the trigger is allowed during pre triggering time

Stop: stop condition of the acquisition

-Automatic: when the block is full

-Trigger: with an association of the analogical or logical channels - see Chapter 6

Trigger

Trigger mode Double Trigger: see below

Real-time Saving: simultaneous recording of the acquisition into a file

-place and name of the saving file

-maximum length of the file

Impossible is displayed when the saving capabilities are overrun: reduce the sampling rate or the number of channels

See chapter File mode to know the limitations of the file recording

Following: actions after the end of the acquisition

-Save on file: saving the acquisition into a file if the real-time saving is not validated (or is impossible)

-Plot: plotting the acquisition

-Stop: no action

-Rearm: waiting for the start condition

-Change setup: loading a configuration and waiting for the start trigger

9.2.Sampling period

When the frequency of the input signals is too high to record them in Direct mode, you must put the measured signals into memory at a high acquisition rate: this is the Memory mode

Sampling consists in reading the instant value of a signal at regular time intervals: each of these values is stored in a memory.
