  • Page 188 SDS5000X Series Digital Oscilloscope User Manual Display Type There is no difference between the vector and dot display types when the number of samples of a frame is greater than 1000. When the sample number is below 1000, there are some differences.
  • Page 189 SDS5000X Series Digital Oscilloscope User Manual Dot Display Note: In the Run state, due to the high waveform update rate of the oscilloscope, the waveform displayed is the superposition of multiple frames. Therefore, what is seen using the dots display is not the discrete sampling points, but the display effect similar to equivalent sampling.
