Horizontal Controls
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.
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.
Trigger Controls
Stop Cancels the capture in Auto, Normal, or Single trigger mode
Auto
Triggers the oscilloscope after a time-out, even if the trigger
conditions are not met.
Normal
Triggers the oscilloscope each time a signal is present that
meets the conditions set for the type of trigger selected.
Single
Arms the oscilloscope to trigger once (single-shot acquisition)
when the 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.
