Page 65: Overview
SDS1000X-E User Manual Overview 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 66: Bandwidth And Sample Rate
SDS1000X-E User Manual frequency (Nyquist Frequency), the frequency of the waveform rebuilt from the sample data is lower than the actual signal frequency. The most common aliasing is the jitter on fast edge. Waveform Leakage: when the sample rate is too low, the waveform rebuilt from the sample data does not reflect all the actual signal information.
Page 67 SDS1000X-E User Manual However, digital signals have frequency components above the fundamental frequency (square waves are made up of sine waves at the fundamental frequency and an infinite number of odd harmonics), and typically, for 500 MHz bandwidths and below, oscilloscopes have a Gaussian frequency response.
Page 68: Memory Depth
SDS1000X-E User Manual 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 69 SDS1000X-E User Manual uses the interpolation method to display a waveform. Interpolation method is a processing method to “connect all the sampling points”, and using some points to calculate the whole appearance of the waveform. For real-time sampling interpolation method is used, even if the oscilloscope in a single captures only a small number of sampling points.

Page 72 SDS1000X-E User Manual 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 confusion can be prevented but the noise displayed would be larger. In this mode, the oscilloscope can display all the pulses with pulse widths at least as wide as the sample period.
Page 73: Average
SDS1000X-E User Manual Average In this mode, the oscilloscope averages the waveforms from multiple samples 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 to 1024 and the default is 16.
Page 74: Eres
SDS1000X-E User Manual Figure 23 With Random Noise, Average Mode Eres This mode uses a kind of ultra-sample technique to average the neighboring points of the sample waveform to reduce the random noise on the input signal and generate much smoother waveforms on the screen.
Page 75: Horizontal Format
SDS1000X-E User Manual 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.

Page 76 SDS1000X-E User Manual obtained should be within quadrant I and IV, namely within (0 to π/2) or (3π/2 to 2π). If the principal axis of the ellipse is within quadrant II and IV, the phase deviation angle obtained should be within quadrant II and III, namely within (π/2 to π) or (π to 3π/2). X-Y function can be used to measure the phase deviation occurred when the signal under test passes through a circuit network.
Page 77: Sequence Mode
SDS1000X-E User Manual Sequence Mode Sequence is also a kind of acquisition mode, which does not display waveform during sampling process. It improves the waveform capture rate, and the maximal capture rate is 400,000 wfs/s. So it can capture the small probability event effectively. The oscilloscope runs and fills a memory segment for each trigger event.

Page 86: Trigger Holdoff
SDS1000X-E User Manual Trigger Holdoff Trigger holdoff can be used to stably trigger the 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. Use the holdoff to trigger on repetitive waveforms that have multiple edges (or other events) between waveform repetitions.
Page 87: Noise Rejection
SDS1000X-E User Manual 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 88 SDS1000X-E User Manual Figure 27 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.
