3) Capture 4096 samples of a 1 Vrms, 4 kHz wave form with a 5 μs acquisition
Push .
If not already in voltage mode, push  (V or
I) to select Voltage.
Push  (Range) and select the 1 V range.
Push  (Measure Setup) and set a 5 µs
aperture and a low pass filter if required. When
done, push  to return to the main Digitize
menu.
Push  (Coupling, Zin) and select the
required input coupling and impedance.
Connect the signal to be sampled to the active
input terminals.
Push .
Push  to reset the Trigger subsystem to the
default settings
Push  to set the Trigger Event to External
in the Trigger Setup menu.

Aperture selection is a compromise between
noise and bandwidth. The input signal is
averaged during the sample time. If the
magnitude of the signal changes during the
aperture a magnitude error will result. While noise
increases as aperture decreases, magnitude error
decreases. The Aperture time should be less than
the sample period to avoid a/d acquisition errors.
For voltage ranges 10 V or less, use DC, Auto.
For the 100 V and 1000 V ranges, use DC, 1M for
best performance.
This provides time for the signal conditioning
circuits to stabilize.
