Chapter 4 Sampling System Settings

Sampling is taking the analog input signal and converts it into discrete points
by using the
analog to digital converter (ADC).

4.1 Sampling Rate

(1) Sampling and Sampling Rate
Sampling means that the oscilloscope samples the input analog signal,
converts the sample to digital data, and then collects the digital data into
waveform records. Finally, the waveform record is stored in the acquisition
memory.
Analog input signal
Sampling rate refers to the time interval between two sampling points. The
maximum sampling rate of the UPO3000E series is 2.5 GS/s.
The sampling rate will be affected by the time base scale and the memory
depth. UPO3000E oscilloscope displays the sampling rate in real time at
the top status bar, user can change the horizontal time base by adjusting
the horizontal SCALE knob or change the memory depth to change the
sampling rate.
(2) Low Sampling Rate Effect
1. Waveform distortion: Due to low sampling rate, the details of the waveform
might be missing, the sampling waveform might be much dif f erent from the
actual signal.
