MXO 4 Series Acquisition and waveform setup Acquisition ● It defines the number of waveforms used to calculate the average waveform. Thus, the instrument acquires sufficient waveforms to calculate the correct average if "Average" is enabled for waveform arithmetic. The higher the value is, the better the noise is reduced.
MXO 4 Series Acquisition and waveform setup Acquisition Remote command: on page 516 ACQuire:AVERage? Interpolation Selects the interpolation method. If the defined sample rate ("Sample rate") is higher than the ADC sample rate, interpo- lation adds points between the captured samples of the waveform by various mathe- matic methods.

MXO 4 Series Acquisition and waveform setup Probes AutoZero, Use AutoZero Differences in DUT and oscilloscope ground levels can cause larger zero errors, which affect the waveform. If the DUT is ground-referenced, the AutoZero function corrects the zero error of the probe to optimize measurement results at small signal levels. The validation limit depends on the probe attenuation because probes with high attenuation often have to compensate high offsets.

Rohde & Schwarz does not recommend using the autoset in remote control. To adjust the oscilloscope remotely, especially for automated testing applications, use the remote commands that adjust the horizontal, vertical and trigger settings.
