TDS1000/2000-Series Digital Oscilloscope User Manual

When there is enough waveform noise, a typical peak detect display

shows large black areas. The TDS1000- a nd TDS2000-series

oscilloscopes display this area with diagonal lines to improve display

performance.

Average. Use Average acquisition mode to reduce random or

uncorrelated noise i n the signal you want to display. Data is acquired

in sample mode, then a number of waveforms are averaged together.

Select the number of acquisit ions (4, 16, 64, or 128) to average for

the waveform.

RUN/STOP Button. Push the RUN/STOP button when you want the

oscilloscope to continuously acquire waveforms. Push the button

again to stop the acquisition.

SINGLE SEQ B utton. Push the SINGLE SEQ button when you want the

oscilloscope to acquire a single waveform and then stop. Each time

you push the SINGLE SEQ button, the oscilloscope begins to acquire

another waveform. After the oscilloscope detects a trigger it

completes the acquisition and stops.
