External Clock Period Display (State only)
The Sample period display only appears in the timing acquisition mode. A
sample period is the interval of time between new data samples. Every time
a new acquisition is taken, the analyzer updates the measurement.
The Current Sample period display is the sample period used for the last
acquisition. The Next Sample period is the new sample period to be used at
the next acquisition. If the acquisition mode is set to automatic, changing the
sec/div or delay will affect the sample period.
Both of these display fields are hidden when markers are turned on.

Timing waveforms are reconstructed relevant to the sample period. The
shorter sample period puts more sample points on the waveform for a more
accurate reconstruction but also fills memory quicker.
If the sec/Div is changed resulting in a change in the next sample period, you
must run the analyzer again before the current sample period display is
updated.
