Chapter 4 To Set the Sample System RIGOL Note: The maximum sample rate in XY mode is 2.5 GSa/s. In this mode, CH1 and CH2 ⚫ are forced to be enabled; CH3 and CH4 are forced to be disabled. Generally, a longer sample waveform can ensure better display effect of Lissajous figure.
Chapter 4 To Set the Sample System RIGOL Acquisition Mode The acquisition mode is used to control how to generate waveform points from the sample points. MSO7000/DS7000 supports the following four acquisition modes: Normal, Average, Peak, and High Resolution. By default, the acquisition mode is Normal.
Chapter 4 To Set the Sample System RIGOL Figure 4-2 Waveforms before Averaging Figure 4-3 Waveforms after 128 Times of Averaging Peak 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 that might be lost.
Chapter 4 To Set the Sample System RIGOL High Resolution This mode uses an over-sample technique to average the neighboring points of the sample waveform. This reduces the random noise on the input signal, generates a much smoother waveform on the screen and improves the vertical resolution. This is generally used when the sample rate of the digital converter is greater than the storage rate of the acquisition memory.
Page 88
Chapter 4 To Set the Sample System RIGOL Single-channel mode: only one of the four channels (CH1/CH2/CH3/CH4) is enabled. Dual-channel mode: either CH1 or CH2 is enabled; and either CH3 or CH4 is enabled. 4-channel mode: CH1/CH2 are both enabled or CH3/CH4 are both enabled.
Chapter 4 To Set the Sample System RIGOL Pulse disappeared LA Sample Rate LA sampling is the process of sampling on the compared digital signals at a certain time interval. LA sample rate is the reciprocal of the time interval. For example, if the LA sample rate is 500 MSa/s, it indicates that the oscilloscope will make data acquisition on the digital signals at an interval of 2 ns.
