the other hand, allows you to sample the waveform starting at the
equivalent of 10,000 divisions after the event occurred.
On fast timebase settings, the maximum single-shot sampling rate is used.
But for slower timebases, the sampling rate is decreased and the number of
data samples maintained.
The relationship between sample rate, memory, and time can be simply
defined as:
Capture Interval = 1/Sample Rate X Memory
and
Capture Interval/10 = Time Per Division
Sequence Sampling Mode – Working with Segments
Using Sequence Mode, thousands of trigger events can be stored as
segments into the oscilloscope's memory (the exact number depends on
oscilloscope model and memory options). This is ideal when capturing many
fast pulses in quick succession or when capturing few events separated by
long time periods. The instrument can capture complicated sequences of
events over large time intervals in fine detail, while ignoring the
uninteresting periods between the events. You can also make time
measurements between events on selected segments using the full
precision of the acquisition timebase.
Sequence mode offers a number of unique capabilities:
You can acquire up to four channels simultaneously.
You can minimize dead time between trigger events for consecutive
segments.
You can view time stamps for acquisitions.
You can zoom segments or used them as input to math functions.
You can combine sequence mode with an advanced trigger to isolate
a rare event, capture all instances over hours or days, and
view/analyze each afterwards.
