are more pronounced and it is then important

to realise that the actual signal may not have

followed the course of the straight line

between the points; an obvious example is

when either side of a peak is sampled. It is

also necessary to ensure that the signal does

not contain significant frequencies above the

specified upper limiting frequency as these

take on an `alias' and look like lower ones.

Slight discontinuities will be noticed in

the pre-trigger part of the trace and also at the

trigger point. This manifests itself as 10 µS

gaps at 4 mS intervals and is due to house-

keeping functions of the microprocessor,

these effects are only slight and are limited to

the pre-trigger data only with the main trace

being reproduced in full.
