Enhanced Resolution
ERES (Enhanced Resolution) filtering increases vertical resolution, allowing you to
voltage levels. The functioning of the instrument's ERES is similar to smoothing the signal with a simple, mo
average filter. H
owever, it is more efficient concerning bandwidth and pass-band filtering. Use ERES on single-
shot waveforms, or where the
