Trigger Controls

Stop Cancels the capture in Auto, Normal, or Single trigger mode
Triggers the oscilloscope after a time-out, even if the trigger conditions
Auto
are not met.
Triggers the oscilloscope each time a signal is present that meets the
Normal
conditions set for the type of trigger selected.
Arms the oscilloscope to trigger once (single-shot acquisition) when the
Single input signal meets the trigger conditions set for the type of trigger
selected. If the oscilloscope is already armed, it forces a trigger.
Setup Displays the Trigger setup screen.

Set up the timebase by using the front panel Horizontal
controls, just as for analog oscilloscopes. The WaveSurfer
MXs-B oscilloscope allocates memory as needed to maintain
the highest sample rate possible for the timebase setting.

Acquisition Mode

The WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscope can acquire in either
Real-Time up to 5 GS/s per channel, Random Interleaved
Sampling (RIS, up to 50 GS/s), or Roll mode (up to 5 MS/s).
At certain very low time/division settings, the oscilloscope
defaults to RIS mode of operation to maintain the highest
sample rate.
At long time/division settings, the oscilloscope defaults to
Roll mode operation so the signal shown on the screen are
not delayed by the long acquisition time. Maximum sample
rate in Roll mode operation is 5 MS/s.
