    Operator's Manual Sequence Sampling Mode In Sequence –ode, the complete waveform consists of a number of fixed- size segments (see the instrument specifications at teledynelecroy.com for the limits). The instrument uses the sequence timebase setting to determine the capture duration of each segment as 10 x time/div. The desired number of segments, maximum segment length, and total available memory are used to determine the actual number of samples or segments, and time or points.

The vertical units are those of the source parameter and the horizontal units are seconds. In order to maintain time synchronism, the parameter values are posted at the sampling rate.
  • Page 107 Operator's Manual Trend A Trend is a plot composed of a series of parameter measurements in the order the measurements were taken. The vertical units are those of the source parameter, the horizontal unit is measurement number. The Trend contains a single value for each measurement. Trends are especially useful for visualizing the history of a parameter over an extended period of time or over multiple acquisitions.
  • Page 108 WavePro 7 Zi-A Oscilloscopes Track vs. Trend Both Track and Trend are tools that can be used to plot measurement data and observe variations with respect to time. The table below summarizes their differences. In general, Track is the tool to use if you want to capture a continuous stream of data spaced closely together.
