Waveform Controls

The U1600B series handheld oscilloscope offers real time sampling rate of
up to 200 MSa/s for one channel or 100 MSa/s for two channels operating
simultaneously. The equivalent sampling rate is up to 2.5 GSa/s for
repetitive signal.
The real time sampling can be used with either repetitive signals or
single- shot signals. This means the waveform display is produced from
samples collected during one trigger event and all samples from previous
trigger events are erased.
The equivalent sampling is an acquisition technique used only with
repetitive signals. With this technique, samples from previous trigger
events are maintained. This means multiple trigger events actually build
the waveform.
This instrument provides the following acquisition mode:
• Normal Acquisition Mode

• Average Acquisition Mode

• Peak Detect Acquisition Mode
To select acquisition mode, follow the instructions below:
