Recording Scope Waveforms In Deep

Memory (Scope Record)

The SCOPE RECORD function is a roll mode that logs one or two long waveforms. This function can be used to monitor waveforms like motion control signals or the power-on event of an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS). During recording, fast transients are captured. Because of the deep memory, recording can be done for more than one day. This function is similar to the roll mode in many DSO’s but has deeper memory and better functionality.

1Apply a signal to the red BNC input A.

2	From the Recorder main menu,
	highlight Scope Record.
3	Start the recording.

The waveform moves across the screen from right to left like a normal chart recorder. (See Figure 18.)

Observe that the top of the screen displays the following:

•Time from start at the top of the screen.

•The status at the bottom of the screen which includes the time/div setting as well as the total timespan that fits the memory.

Note

For accurate recordings it is advised to let the instrument first warm up for five minutes.
