To move the X Y waveform position, use the vertical position knob: Channel 1 knob moves the X Y waveform horizontally, Channel 2 knob moves the X Y waveform vertically.

  • Page 86: Set The Sampling Mode

    4-1-4. Set the Sampling Mode Background The DCS-9700 has two types of sampling modes: ET (Equivalent Time) and Sin(x)/x interpolation. Equivalent time sampling is able to achieve a sample rate of 100GSa/s when sampling periodic waveforms. Sin(x)/x interpolation uses a sinc interpolation formula to reconstruct a continuous signal between sampled points.

  • Page 87: Set The Record Length

    4-1-5. Set the Record Length Background The number of samples that can be stored is set by the record length. Record length is important in an oscilloscope as it allows longer waveforms to be recorded and/or allows higher sampling rates to be achieved when equivalent time sampling is used.
