How the Analog Acquisition Modes Work
Sample mode retains the first sampled point
from each acqu
isition interval. Sa mpl e i s the
default mode.
Peak Detect mode uses the highest and
lowest of all
the samples contained in two
consecutive acquisition intervals. This mode
only w orks with real-time, noninterpolated
sampling an
d is useful for catching high
frequency glitches.
Hi R e s mode calculates the average of all
the samples for each acquisition interval.
This mode a
lso only works with real-time,
noninterpolated sampling. Hi-Res provides
a higher-resolution, lower-bandwidth
waveform
.
Envelop
e mode finds the highest and lowest
record points over all acquisitions. Envelope
uses Peak Detect for each individual
acquisi
tion.
Average mode calculates the average value
for eac
h record point over a user-specified
number of acquisitions. Average uses
Sample m ode for each individual acquisition.
Use ave
rage mode to reduce random noise.
Changing the Acquisition Mode, Record Length, and Delay Time
Use this procedure to change the acquisition mode.
1. Push Acquire.
2. Push Mode.
