Glossary of Terms
• Collecting mode: The oscilloscope converts the collected analog data into
digital data for each of the following three modes: Sampling, Peak Detect, and
Averaging.
• Sampling: The waveform sampling resolution in seconds. Waveforms that change
faster than the sample duration will not be accurately captured.
• Peak value detection: In peak detect mode the meter can capture very narrow
pulses down to 50ns
• Averaging values: The oscilloscope averages a selectable number of
measurements. Random noise can be minimized in this mode.
• Duration time: A waveform can be held as a new waveform is displayed. The
amount of time the previous waveform is displayed is the 'duration time'.
• Roll scan: The oscilloscope updates the waveform sampling points by scrolling
the screen from left to right (applicable only to primary time base settings above
50ms).
