(or multiple channels) in the setup grid, the corresponding connectors in the image will be highlighted. The sampling rate will be set for all connected SIRIUSi-XHS-PWR units: of course only up to the max. sampling rate of the individual units.
One of the most important settings is the sample rate. The sample rate defines how many data points, SIRIUSi-XHS-PWR will transfer to DewesoftX®. Higher sample rate also means that more data needs to be transferred via ethernet to your computer.
SIRIUSi-XHS-PWR TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL The sampling speed mainly depends on your application. To display your signal in a time domain with a good time resolution, you should sample 10 to 20 times faster than the frequency of the signal that you want to measure, e.g.
