  • Page 64: Peak Detect

    SIGLENT 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 aliasing can be prevented but the noise displayed would be larger.

  • Page 65: Average

    SIGLENT Average In this mode, the oscilloscope averages the waveforms from multiple frames to reduce the random noise of the input signal and improve the vertical resolution. The greater the number of averages is, the lower the noise will be and the higher the vertical resolution will be but the slower the response of the displayed waveform to the waveform changes will The available range of averages is from 4 to1024 with a default value of16.

  • Page 66: Eres (Enhanced Resolution)

    SIGLENT Figure 18:With Random Noise, Average Mode Eres (Enhanced Resolution) This mode uses a digital filter to reduce the random noise on the input signal and generate much smoother waveforms on the screen. Eres can be used on both single-shot and repetitive signals and it does not slow down waveform update.

In the Normal time mode, signal events occurring before the trigger are plotted to the left of the trigger point and signal events after the trigger plotted to the right of the trigger point.

  • Page 68: Use Sequence Mode

    SIGLENT Use Sequence Mode Sequence does not display the waveform during sampling process. It improves the waveform capture rate, and the maximal capture rate is about 500,000 wfm/s.

  • Page 76: Trigger Holdoff

    SIGLENT Trigger Holdoff Trigger holdoff can be used to stabilize the triggering of complex waveforms (such as pulse series). Holdoff 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 77: Noise Rejection

    SIGLENT 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 78: Trigger Type

    SIGLENT 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.
