To Set The Sampling Rates (Timing Only) - HP 1660CP Series User Manual

To set the sampling rates (Timing only)

A timing analyzer samples the data based on its own internal clock. A short
sample period provides more detail about the device under test; a
long sample period allows more time before memory is full. However, if the
sample period is too large, some information may be missed.
In the Analyzer Trigger menu, select Acquisition Control.

The Acquisition Control menu pops up. If the acquisition mode is set to
Automatic, the menu contains a single field and an explanation. If Acquisition
has been customized, it has 3 or 4 fields and a picture showing where the
trigger is currently placed in memory.
If the mode is Automatic, select the field and toggle it to Manual.

The menu now shows three fields and a picture.
Set the Sample Period field using the knob, or select it to use the
3
keypad to enter the period.
Select Done.

Next time you take a measurement, the analyzer will sample at the rate you
