recall.
To start sampling immediately, tap
S
.
See “5 Executing a Sampling Operation” for more information.
To store the setup in memory, tap [File] on the menu bar, and then tap [Save Setup
Memory]. See “4 Using Setup Memory” for more information.
Modes
The [Mode] box at the top of the [Sample] tab of the Setup dialog box controls the current
mode setting.
There is a selection of five modes, depending on the type of data being sampled and the
sampling method: Normal, Real-Time, Fast, Extended, and Period. The Normal, Real-Time,
Fast, and Extended modes are normally available, while the Period mode is available in
special cases only.
k
Normal Mode
This general-purpose mode can be used for a wide range of sampling applications. The
Normal Mode is used for relatively short sampling. When the Normal Mode is selected, you
need to specify the sampling interval, the number of samples, and the timing of the start
trigger.
k
Real-Time Mode
Basically, the Real-Time Mode is the same as the Normal Mode, except that it produces a
real-time graph of data as it is sampled. Use this mode when you need to graphically monitor
changes in sampled values as they are being sampled.
k
Fast Mode
Use this mode when sampling a sound waveform or when other very fast sampling is
required. This mode can be selected only when CH1 or MIC is being used for sampling. This
mode is selected automatically whenever sampling is performed using the microphone. In
this mode, the sampling interval can be set to a very short interval in the range of 20
sec to
500
sec.
