Get the Most of Your Oscilloscope by Fully Controlling
its Waveform Acquisition and Display Parameters

Youhave thechoice ofthree horizontal timebase modesof operation. Ifyou
aresimply doingsignal explorationand want to interactwith alively signal,
youwill usethe Automatic or interactive defaultmode thatprovides youwith
the liveliest display updaterate. Ifyou want a precise measurementand
the highest real-time sample rate thatwill g ive you the most measurement
accuracy,then the Constant Sa mple Rate modeis foryou. Itwill maintain
the highest sample rate and provide the best real-time resolution. Thelast
modeis calledthe Manual mode becauseit ensuresdirect andindependent
control of the samplerate andrecord length.
