Operating Procedure
1. Press ACQ.
2. Press the Record Length soft key to display the record length setting menu.
3. Press the soft key of the record length that you want to set.
Explanation
The record length sets the amount of data to be written into the acquisition memory.
Available length settings are as follows:
DL1620/ : 1 kword, 10 kwords, 100 kwords, 1 Mword, 8 Mwords (in high-resolution
Dl1640 mode, 4 Mwords)
DL1640L : 1 kword, 10 kwords, 100 kwords, 1 Mword, 4 Mwords, 10 Mwords,
32 Mwords (in high-resolution mode, 16 Mwords)
Setting Precautions
• The sampling rate and displayed record length vary according to the T/div setting.
For details, see Appendix 1.
• If the record length was modified because of the T/div setting, the number of history
waveforms that can be saved according to the record length:
• When the record length is set to 1 Mword (with the DL1640L, 4 Mwords), the
number of history waveforms that can be saved depends on the record length
modified by the T/div setting.
• When the record length is set to any length except 1 Mword (with the DL1640L, 4
Mwords), the number of history waveforms that can be saved depends on that
record length.
• The maximum record length for the high-resolution mode is half the maximum record
length when the high-resolution mode is OFF on all models.
