Page 57: Overview Of Sampling
Overview of Sampling To understand the oscilloscope's sampling and acquisition modes, it is helpful to understand sampling theory, sample rate and oscilloscope bandwidth and sample rate. Sampling Theory The Nyquist sampling theorem states that for a limited bandwidth (band- limited) signal with maximum frequency f , the equally spaced sampling frequency f must be greater...
Page 58: Sample Rate
Sample Rate The maximum sample rate of the oscilloscope is 2GSa/s. The actual sample rate of the oscilloscope is determined by the horizontal scale. Turn the Horizontal Scale Knob to adjust the sample rate. The actual sample rate is displayed in the information area at the upper- right corner of the screen.
Page 59: Oscilloscope Bandwidth And Sample Rate
Oscilloscope Bandwidth and Sample Rate An oscilloscope's bandwidth is typically described as the lowest frequency at which input signal sine waves are attenuated by 3 dB (- 30% amplitude error). At the oscilloscope bandwidth, sampling theory says the required sample rate is f = 2f However, the theory assumes there are no frequency components above f in this...
Page 60: Select Memory Depth
Select Memory Depth Memory depth refers to the number of waveform points that the oscilloscope can store in a single trigger sample and it reflects the storage ability of the sample memory. The oscilloscope provides up to 14 Mpts memory depth. Press the Acquire button on the front panel;...
Page 61: Select Sampling Mode
Select Sampling Mode The oscilloscope only supports real-time sampling. In this mode, the oscilloscope samples and displays a waveform within a trigger event. The maximum real-time sample rate is 1GSa/s. Press the RUN/STOP button to stop the sampling, the oscilloscope will hold the last display.
Page 62: Select Waveform Interpolation Method
Select Waveform Interpolation Method Under real-time sampling, the oscilloscope acquires the discrete sample values of the waveform being displayed. In general, a waveform of dots display type is very difficult to observe. In order to increase the visibility of the signal, the digital oscilloscope usually uses the interpolation method to display a waveform.
Page 63 Figure 16 x Interpolation Figure 17 Sinx/x Interpolation 44 User Manual...
Page 64: Select Acquisition Mode
Select Acquisition Mode The acquisition mode is used to control how to generate waveform points from sample points. The oscilloscope provides the following acquisition mode: Normal, Peak Detect, Average and High Resolution. 1. Press the Acquire button on the front panel to enter the ACQUIRE function menu; 2.
Page 65: Peak Detect
Peak Detect In this mode, the oscilloscope acquires the maximum and minimum values of the signal within the sample interval to get the envelope of the signal or the narrow pulse of the signal that might be lost. In this mode, signal loss can be prevented but displayed noise will increase.
Page 66: Average
Average In this mode, the oscilloscope averages the waveforms from multiple acquisitions to reduce the random noise of the input signal and improve the vertical resolution. The greater the number of averages, the lower the noise will be, and the higher the vertical resolution will be, but the slower the response of the displayed waveform to waveform changes.
Page 67: High Resolution
Figure 22 With Random Noise, Average Mode High Resolution This mode uses a linear averaging technique to average the neighbouring points of the sample waveform to reduce the random noise on the input signal and generate much smoother waveforms on the screen. High Resolution mode can be used on both single shot and repetitive signals, and it does not slow waveform update.
Page 68: Change The Horizontal Format
Change the Horizontal Format Press the Acquire button on the front panel; then press the XY soft key to set the XY(On) or YT(Off) mode. The default setup is YT. It is the normal viewing mode for the oscilloscope. In the Normal time mode, signal events occurring before the trigger are shown to the left of the trigger point and signal events after the trigger point are displayed to the right of the trigger point.
Page 69: Use Sequence Mode
Use Sequence Mode Sequence is also an acquisition mode, which does not display a waveform during the sampling process. This improves the waveform capture rate, to a maximal capture rate of 400,000 wfs/s. So it can capture the small probability events effectively. The oscilloscope runs and fills a memory segment for each trigger event.

Page 71: To Trigger The Oscilloscope
To Trigger the Oscilloscope For triggering, set your trigger conditions according to the requirements, and when a waveform in the waveform stream meets this condition, the oscilloscope captures the waveform and displays it on the screen. The trigger circuit ensures that every acquisition centers around the user-defined trigger condition.
Page 72 The contents of this chapter: ◆ Trigger Source ◆ Trigger Mode ◆ Trigger Level ◆ Trigger Coupling ◆ Trigger Holdoff ◆ Noise Rejection ◆ Trigger Type ● Edge Trigger ● Slope Trigger ● Pulse Trigger ● Video Trigger ● Window Trigger ●...
Page 73: Trigger Source
Trigger Source The 2-channel oscilloscope’s trigger source includes analog channels, EXT, EXT/5 and AC Line. The 4-channel oscilloscope’s trigger source includes analog channels and AC Line. Press the Setup button on the front panel to enter the TRIGGER function menu; press the Source softkey and then turn the Universal Knob to select the desired trigger source.
Page 74: Trigger Mode
Trigger Mode The oscilloscope’s trigger mode includes auto, normal and single. The Trigger Mode affects the way in which the oscilloscope searches for the trigger. After the oscilloscope starts running, the oscilloscope operates by first filling the pre-trigger buffer. It starts searching for a trigger after the pre-trigger buffer is filled and continues to flow data through this buffer while it searches for the trigger.
Page 75: Trigger Level
Trigger Level Trigger level and slope define the trigger point, Positive Slope Negative Slope Trigger Level Trigger Point Trigger Point Input Signal You can adjust the trigger level for a selected analog channel by turning the Trigger Level Knob.

The oscilloscope provides 4 kinds of trigger coupling modes: ●...
Page 77: Trigger Holdoff
Trigger Holdoff Trigger holdoff can be used to stablise the trigger on complex waveforms (such as pulse streams or burst waveforms). Holdoff by time is the amount of time that the oscilloscope waits before re-arming the trigger circuitry. The oscilloscope will not trigger until the holdoff time expires.
Page 78: Noise Rejection
Noise Rejection Noise Reject adds additional hysteresis to the trigger circuitry. By increasing the trigger hysteresis band, you reduce the possibility of triggering on noise. However, this also decreases the trigger sensitivity so that a slightly larger signal is required to trigger the oscilloscope.
Page 79 Figure 26 Turn on the Noise Reject If the signal you are probing is noisy, you can set up the oscilloscope to reduce the noise in the trigger path and on the displayed waveform. First, stabilize the displayed waveform by removing the noise from the trigger path. Second, reduce the noise on the displayed waveform.

For example, for a positive pulse, if you set t (pulse real width) >100ns and t<300ns, the waveform will trigger on the 200ns pulse.
Page 86: Video Trigger
Video Trigger Video triggering can be used to capture the complex waveforms of most standard analog video signals. The trigger circuitry detects the vertical and horizontal interval of the waveform and produces triggers based on the video trigger settings you have selected. The oscilloscope supports standard video signal field or line of NTSC (National Television Standards Committee), PAL (Phase Alternating Line) HDTV (High Definition Television) and custom video signal trigger.
