To select the Real-Time sampling mode: 1 Press [Acquire].

  • Page 71: To Select The Equivalent-Time Sampling Mode

    The benefits of the equivalent-time sampling mode are negligible when sample rates are the same as available in the real-time sampling mode. In the 1000B Series oscilloscopes, the equivalent time sampling mode can achieve up to 40 ps of horizontal resolution (equivalent to 25 GSa/s).

    Making Measurements Counter (Frequency) The 1000B Series oscilloscopes have an integrated 6-digit hardware frequency counter. The counter operates on the currently selected trigger source and can measure frequencies from 5 Hz to the bandwidth of the oscilloscope. The counter uses the trigger comparator to count the number of cycles within a period of time (known as the gate time), so the trigger level must be set correctly.
