Acquisition When you acquire a signal, the oscilloscope converts it into a digital form and displays a waveform. The acquisition mode defines how the signal is digitized and the time base setting affects the time span and level of detail in the acquisition.
Hantek 6000EU Digital Oscilloscope 3.11 Acquisition Modes There are four acquisition modes: Normal, Average, Peak Detect and High Res. Normal: In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope samples the signal in evenly spaced intervals to construct the waveform. Average: In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope acquires several waveforms, averages them, and displays the resulting waveform.
