    Before a signal is displayed, it must pass through the input channel where it is scaled and digitized. Each channel has a dedicated input amplifier and digitizer. Each channel produces a stream of digital data from which the instrument extracts waveform records. DPO70000SX Series User...

  • Page 76: Sampling Process

    The instrument makes multiple acquisitions of a repetitive waveform to obtain the sample density required for one complete waveform record. Thus, equivalent time sampling should only be used with repetitive signals. DPO70000SX Series User...
