Recording Scope Waveforms In Deep
Memory (Scope Record)
The SCOPE RECORD function is a roll mode that logs a long
waveform of each active input. 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.
Starting a Scope Record Function
To record for example the input A and input B waveform,
do the following:
1
Apply a signal to input A and input B.
2
RECORDER
Open the
RECORDER
main menu.
3
ENTER
From the Recorder main menu,
highlight Scope Record and Start
the recording.
The waveform moves across the screen from right to left
like on a normal chart recorder. (See Figure 21).
Figure 21. Recording Waveforms
Observe that 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.
