• The times during which sampling is inhibited (dead time) due to display and
recording processing after each block of data has been acquired are about 8
ms.
• When measuring a parameter other than voltage or current with the Model
8940 F/V Unit, dead time is about 230 ms.
• When using the Model 8958 16-Ch Scanner Unit or Timebase 2 sampling,
dead time may be longer, depending on the Timebase 2 sampling speed set-
ting.
• When the Trace Waveform display is disabled, even if the Roll Mode is
enabled (other than Off), the Roll Mode function is unusable.
• When triggering occurs very often, pressing the STOP key may not stop mea-
surement until enough data has been acquired to fill the blocks specified for
use.
