1 Getting Started
Inspect the Package Contents
• Inspect the shipping container for damage.
If your shipping container appears to be damaged, keep the shipping container
or cushioning material until you have inspected the contents of the shipment
for completeness and have checked the oscilloscope mechanically and
electrically.
• Verify that you received the following items and any optional accessories you
may have ordered:
• InfiniiVision 1000 X-Series oscilloscope.
• Power cord (country of origin determines specific type).
• Two oscilloscope probes.

Power-On the Oscilloscope
WARNING
Getting Started 1
Power
Requirements
Ventilation
Requirements
To po wer-on the
oscilloscope
Line voltage, frequency, and power:
• ~Line 100-120 Vac, 50/60/400 Hz
• 100-240 Vac, 50/60 Hz
•50W max
The air intake and exhaust areas must be free from obstructions. Unrestricted air
flow is required for proper cooling. Always ensure that the air intake and exhaust
areas are free from obstructions.
The fan draws air in from the left side and bottom of the oscilloscope and pushes it
out behind the oscilloscope.
When using the oscilloscope in a bench-top setting, provide at least 2" clearance
at the sides and 4" (100 mm) clearance above and behind the oscilloscope for
proper cooling.
1 Connect the power cord to the rear of the oscilloscope, then to a suitable AC
voltage source. Route the power cord so the oscilloscope's feet and legs do not
pinch the cord.
2 The oscilloscope automatically adjusts for input line voltages in the range 100
to 240 VAC. The line cord provided is matched to the country of origin.
Always use a grounded power cord. Do not defeat the power cord ground.
Keysight InfiniiVision 1000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide 15
3 Press the power switch.
The power switch is located on the lower left corner of the front panel. The
oscilloscope will perform a self-test and will be operational in a few seconds.

CAUTION
CAUTION
WARNING
Connect Probes to the Oscilloscope
1 Connect the oscilloscope probe to an oscilloscope channel BNC connector.
2 Connect the probe's retractable hook tip to the point of interest on the circuit or
device under test. Be sure to connect the probe ground lead to a ground point
on the circuit.
Maximum input voltage at analog inputs
150 Vrms, 200 Vpk
Do not float the oscilloscope chassis
Defeating the ground connection and "floating" the oscilloscope chassis will probably
result in inaccurate measurements and may also cause equipment damage. The probe
ground lead is connected to the oscilloscope chassis and the ground wire in the power
cord. If you need to measure between two live points, use a differential probe with
sufficient dynamic range.
Do not negate the protective action of the ground connection to the oscilloscope. The
oscilloscope must remain grounded through its power cord. Defeating the ground
creates an electric shock hazard.
16 Keysight InfiniiVision 1000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide
Input a Waveform
WARNING
The Probe Comp signal is used for compensating probes.
1 Connect an oscilloscope probe from channel 1 to the Demo, Probe Comp terminal
on the front panel.
2 Connect the probe's ground lead to the ground terminal (next to the Demo
terminal).
A voltage source should never be connected to the ground terminal of this instrument.
If, for any reason, the Protective Conductor Terminal is disconnected or not functioning
properly and a voltage source is connected to the equipment's ground terminals, the
entire chassis will be at the voltage potential of the voltage source, and the operator or
bystanders could receive an electric shock.

You should see a waveform on the oscilloscope's display similar to this:
2 If you want to return to the oscilloscope settings that existed before, press Undo
Autoscale.
3 If you want to enable "fast debug" autoscaling, change the channels
autoscaled, or preserve the acquisition mode during autoscale, press Fast
Debug, Channels, or Acq Mode.
These are the same softkeys that appear in the Autoscale Preferences menu.
See "Utility Settings" on page 88.
If you see the waveform, but the square wave is not shaped correctly as shown
above, perform the procedure "Compensate Passive Probes" on page 20.
If you do not see the waveform, make sure the probe is connected securely to the
front panel channel input BNC and to the Demo/Probe Comp terminal.

Compensate Passive Probes
Each oscilloscope passive probe must be compensated to match the input
characteristics of the oscilloscope channel to which it is connected. A poorly
compensated probe can introduce significant measurement errors.
If your probe has a configurable attenuation setting (like the N2140/42A probes do), the 10:1
setting must be used for probe compensation.
1 Input the Probe Comp signal (see "Input a Waveform" on page 17).
2 Press [Default Setup] to recall the default oscilloscope setup (see "Recall the
Default Oscilloscope Setup" on page 18).
3 Press [Auto Scale] to automatically configure the oscilloscope for the Probe
Comp signal (see "Use Autoscale" on page 19).
4 Press the channel key to which the probe is connected ([1], [2], etc.).
5 In the Channel Menu, press Probe.
6 In the Channel Probe Menu, press Probe Check; then, follow the instructions
on-screen.
20 Keysight InfiniiVision 1000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide
If necessary, use a nonmetallic tool (supplied with the probe) to adjust the
trimmer capacitor on the probe for the flattest pulse possible.
On some probes (like the N2140/42A probes), the trimmer capacitor is located
on the probe BNC connector. On other probes (like the N2862/63/90 probes),
the trimmer capacitor is a yellow adjustment on the probe tip.
7 Connect probes to all other oscilloscope channels.
8 Repeat the procedure for each channel.

Table 2 Run Control Features
Feature Front Panel Key/Softkey Location (see built-in help for more information)
Run acquisitions [Run/Stop] (the key is green when running)
Stop acquisitions [Run/Stop] (the key is red when stopped)
The maximum data record length is greater for a single acquisition than when the
oscilloscope is running (or when the oscilloscope is stopped after running):
• Single — Single acquisitions always use the maximum memory available — at
least twice as much memory as acquisitions captured when running — and the
oscilloscope stores at least twice as many samples. At slower time/div settings,
because there is more memory available for a single acquisition, the acquisition
has a higher effective sample rate.
• Running — When running (versus taking a single acquisition), the memory is
divided in half. This lets the acquisition system acquire one record while
processing the previous acquisition, dramatically improving the number of
waveforms per second processed by the oscilloscope. When running, a high
waveform update rate provides the best representation of your input signal.
To acquire data with the longest possible record length, press the [Single] key.
For more information on settings that affect record length, see "Length
Control" on page 85.

Vertical Knobs and Keys
Keysight recommends always scaling the signal so that the entire waveform is contained
between the top and bottom of the display.
For proper operation of the 1000 X-Series oscilloscope, the channel inputs must not be
overdriven more than ±8 divisions. Exceeding this limit may result in signals that appear
incorrect and may increase crosstalk between the input channels.
To minimize crosstalk between input channels, make sure the channel is not overdriven. Also,
connecting a probe or cable to a channel will reduce crosstalk.

FFT Spectral Analysis
FFT is used to compute the fast Fourier transform using analog input channels.
FFT takes the digitized time record of the specified source and transforms it to the
frequency domain.
When the FFT function is selected, the FFT spectrum is plotted on the oscilloscope
display as magnitude in dBV versus frequency. The readout for the horizontal axis
changes from time to frequency (Hertz) and the vertical readout changes from
volts to dB.
Use the FFT function to find crosstalk problems, to find distortion problems in
analog waveforms caused by amplifier non-linearity, or for adjusting analog filters.

FFT Measurement Hints
The number of points acquired for the FFT record can be up to 65,536, and when
frequency span is at maximum, all points are displayed. Once the FFT spectrum is
displayed, the frequency span and center frequency controls are used much like
the controls of a spectrum analyzer to examine the frequency of interest in greater
detail. Place the desired part of the waveform at the center of the screen and
decrease frequency span to increase the display resolution. As frequency span is
decreased, the number of points shown is reduced, and the display is magnified.
42 Keysight InfiniiVision 1000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide
Quick Reference 2
NOTE
While the FFT spectrum is displayed, use the [FFT] and [Cursors] keys to switch
between measurement functions and frequency domain controls in FFT Menu.
FFT Resolution
The FFT resolution is the quotient of the sampling rate and the number of FFT points (fS/N).
With a fixed number of FFT points (up to 65,536), the lower the sampling rate, the better the
resolution.
Decreasing the effective sampling rate by selecting a greater time/div setting will
increase the low frequency resolution of the FFT display and also increase the
chance that an alias will be displayed. The resolution of the FFT is the effective
sample rate divided by the number of points in the FFT. The actual resolution of
the display will not be this fine as the shape of the window will be the actual
limiting factor in the FFTs ability to resolve two closely space frequencies. A good
way to test the ability of the FFT to resolve two closely spaced frequencies is to
examine the sidebands of an amplitude modulated sine wave.
For the best vertical accuracy on peak measurements:
• Make sure the probe attenuation is set correctly. The probe attenuation is set
from the Channel Menu if the operand is a channel.
• Set the source sensitivity so that the input signal is near full screen, but not
clipped.
• Use the Flat Top window.
• Set the FFT sensitivity to a sensitive range, such as 2 dB/division.
For best frequency accuracy on peaks:
• Use the Hanning window.
• Use Cursors to place an X cursor on the frequency of interest.
• Adjust frequency span for better cursor placement.
• Return to the Cursors Menu to fine tune the X cursor.
For more information on the use of FFTs please refer to Keysight Application Note
243, The Fundamentals of Signal Analysis at

information can be obtained from Chapter 4 of the book Spectrum and Network
Measurements by Robert A. Witte.

NOTE
FFT DC Value
FFT Aliasing
The FFT computation produces a DC value that is incorrect. It does not take the
offset at center screen into account. The DC value is not corrected in order to
accurately represent frequency components near DC.
When using FFTs, it is important to be aware of frequency aliasing. This requires
that the operator have some knowledge as to what the frequency domain should
contain, and also consider the sampling rate, frequency span, and oscilloscope
vertical bandwidth when making FFT measurements. The FFT resolution (the
quotient of the sampling rate and the number of FFT points) is displayed directly
above the softkeys when the FFT Menu is displayed.
Nyquist Frequency and Aliasing in the Frequency Domain
The Nyquist frequency is the highest frequency that any real-time digitizing oscilloscope can
acquire without aliasing. This frequency is half of the sample rate. Frequencies above the
Nyquist frequency will be under sampled, which causes aliasing. The Nyquist frequency is also
called the folding frequency because aliased frequency components fold back from that
frequency when viewing the frequency domain.
Aliasing happens when there are frequency components in the signal higher than
half the sample rate. Because the FFT spectrum is limited by this frequency, any
higher components are displayed at a lower (aliased) frequency.
The following figure illustrates aliasing. This is the spectrum of a 990 Hz square
wave, which has many harmonics. The horizontal time/div setting for the square
wave sets the sample rate and results in a FFT resolution of 1.91 Hz. The displayed
FFT spectrum waveform shows the components of the input signal above the
Nyquist frequency to be mirrored (aliased) on the display and reflected off the right
edge.
44 Keysight InfiniiVision 1000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide
Figure 2 Aliasing
Quick Reference 2
Because the frequency span goes from ≈ 0 to the Nyquist frequency, the best way
to prevent aliasing is to make sure that the frequency span is greater than the
frequencies of significant energy present in the input signal.
FFT Spectral Leakage
The FFT operation assumes that the time record repeats. Unless there is an
integral number of cycles of the sampled waveform in the record, a discontinuity is
created at the end of the record. This is referred to as leakage. In order to minimize
spectral leakage, windows that approach zero smoothly at the beginning and end
of the signal are employed as filters to the FFT. The FFT Menu provides four
windows: Hanning, Flat Top, Rectangular, and Blackman-Harris. For more
information on leakage, see Keysight Application Note 243, The Fundamentals of
Signal Analysis at

To load a list of labels from a text file you create
It may be convenient to create a list of labels using a text editor, then load the

the label list using the oscilloscope's controls.
You can create a list of up to 75 labels and load it into the oscilloscope. Labels are
added to the beginning of the list. If more than 75 labels are loaded, only the first
75 are stored.
To load labels from a text file into the oscilloscope:
1 Use a text editor to create each label. Each label can be up to ten characters in
length. Separate each label with a line feed.
2 Name the file labellist.txt and save it on a USB mass storage device such as a
thumb drive.
3 Load the list into the oscilloscope using the File Explorer (press [Utility] > File
Explorer).

NOTE
Label List Management
When you press the Library softkey, you will see a list of the last 75 labels used. The list does
not save duplicate labels. Labels can end in any number of trailing digits. As long as the base
string is the same as an existing label in the library, the new label will not be put in the library.
For example, if label A0 is in the library and you make a new label called A12345, the new
label is not added to the library.
When you save a new user-defined label, the new label will replace the oldest label in the list.
Oldest is defined as the longest time since the label was last assigned to a channel. Any time
you assign any label to a channel, that label will move to the newest in the list. Thus, after you
use the label list for a while, your labels will predominate, making it easier to customize the
instrument display for your needs.
When you reset the label library list (see next topic), all of your custom labels will be deleted,
and the label list will be returned to its factory configuration.

Triggers
Trigger Knobs and Keys
A trigger setup tells the oscilloscope when to acquire and display data. For
example, you can set up to trigger on the rising edge of the analog channel 1 input
signal.
You can use any input channel or the Ext Trig input BNC as the source for most
trigger types (see "External Trigger Input" on page 55).
Changes to the trigger setup are applied immediately. If the oscilloscope is
stopped when you change a trigger setup, the oscilloscope uses the new
specification when you press [Run/Stop] or [Single]. If the oscilloscope is running
when you change a trigger setup, it uses the new trigger definition when it starts
the next acquisition.
You can save trigger setups along with the oscilloscope setup (see "Save/Recall
(Setups, Screens, Data)" on page 84).
Trigger Types
In addition to the edge trigger type, you can set up triggers on pulse widths and

Noisy Signals If the signal you are probing is noisy, you can set up the oscilloscope to reduce the
noise in the trigger path and on the displayed waveform. First, stabilize the
displayed waveform by removing the noise from the trigger path. Second, reduce
the noise on the displayed waveform.

See "Configuring the [Quick Action] Key" on page 90.
Auto trigger mode [Trigger] > Mode, Auto
If the specified trigger conditions are not found, triggers are forced and acquisitions are made so that
signal activity is displayed on the oscilloscope. The Auto trigger mode is appropriate when:
• Checking DC signals or signals with unknown levels or activity.
• When trigger conditions occur often enough that forced triggers are unnecessary.
Normal trigger mode [Trigger] > Mode, Normal
Triggers and acquisitions only occur when the specified trigger conditions are found. The Normal
trigger mode is appropriate when:
• You only want to acquire specific events specified by the trigger settings.
• Making single-shot acquisitions with the [Single] key.
Often with single-shot acquisitions, you must initiate some action in the device under test, and
you do not want the oscilloscope to auto-trigger before that happens. Before initiating the action
in the circuit, wait for the trigger condition indicator Trig 'd? to flash (this tells you the pre-trigger
buffer is filled).

When in the Normal trigger mode and no triggers are occurring, you can force a trigger to acquire
and display waveforms (which may show why triggers are not occurring).

Acquisition Control
This section shows how to use the oscilloscope's acquisition controls.
Selecting the Acquisition Mode
When selecting the oscilloscope acquisition mode, keep in mind that samples are
normally decimated (thrown away) at slower time/div settings.
At slower time/div settings, the effective sample rate drops (and the effective
sample period increases) because the acquisition time increases and the
oscilloscope's digitizer is sampling faster than is required to fill memory.
For example, suppose an oscilloscope's digitizer has a sample period of 1 ns
(maximum sample rate of 1 GSa/s) and a 1 M memory depth. At that rate, memory
is filled in 1 ms. If the acquisition time is 100 ms (10 ms/div), only 1 of every 100
samples is needed to fill memory.

At slower time/div settings when decimation would normally occur, the maximum and minimum
samples in the effective sample period are stored. Use this mode for displaying narrow pulses that
occur infrequently.
[Acquire] > Acq Mode, Averaging, [Acquire] > # Avgs
At all time/div settings, the specified number of triggers are averaged together. Use this mode for
reducing noise and increasing resolution of periodic signals without bandwidth or rise time
degradation.
[Acquire] > Acq Mode, High Resolution
At slower time/div settings, all samples in the effective sample period are averaged and the average
value is stored. Use this mode for reducing random noise.

To understand the oscilloscope's sampling and acquisition modes, it is helpful to
understand sampling theory, aliasing, oscilloscope bandwidth and sample rate,
oscilloscope rise time, oscilloscope bandwidth required, and how memory depth
affects sample rate.

signal with maximum frequency f
must be greater than twice the maximum frequency f

An oscilloscope's bandwidth is typically described as the lowest frequency at
which input signal sine waves are attenuated by 3 dB (-30% amplitude error).
At the oscilloscope bandwidth, sampling theory says the required sample rate is f
. However, the theory assumes there are no frequency components above

However, digital signals have frequency components above the fundamental
frequency (square waves are made up of sine waves at the fundamental frequency
and an infinite number of odd harmonics), and typically, for 500 MHz bandwidths
and below, oscilloscopes have a Gaussian frequency response.

Oscilloscope Rise Time
Closely related to an oscilloscope's bandwidth specification is its rise time
specification. Oscilloscopes with a Gaussian-type frequency response have an
approximate rise time of 0.35/f
An oscilloscope's rise time is not the fastest edge speed that the oscilloscope can
accurately measure. It is the fastest edge speed the oscilloscope can possibly
produce.

Quick Reference 2
Oscilloscope Bandwidth Required
The oscilloscope bandwidth required to accurately measure a signal is primarily
determined by the signal's rise time, not the signal's frequency. You can use these
steps to calculate the oscilloscope bandwidth required:
1 Determine the fastest edge speeds.
You can usually obtain rise time information from published specifications for
devices used in your designs.
2 Compute the maximum "practical" frequency component.
From Dr. Howard W. Johnson's book, High-Speed Digital Design – A
Handbook of Black Magic, all fast edges have an infinite spectrum of frequency
components. However, there is an inflection (or "knee") in the frequency
spectrum of fast edges where frequency components higher than f
insignificant in determining the shape of the signal.

Memory Depth and Sample Rate
The number of points of oscilloscope memory is fixed, and there is a maximum
sample rate associated with oscilloscope's analog-to-digital converter; however,
the actual sample rate is determined by the time of the acquisition (which is set
according to the oscilloscope's horizontal time/div scale).
Keysight InfiniiVision 1000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide 61
2 Quick Reference
sample rate = number of samples / time of acquisition
For example, when storing 50 µs of data in 50,000 points of memory, the actual
sample rate is 1 GSa/s.
Likewise, when storing 50 ms of data in 50,000 points of memory, the actual
sample rate is 1 MSa/s.
The actual sample rate is displayed in the right-side information area.
The oscilloscope achieves the actual sample rate by throwing away (decimating)
unneeded samples.

Mask Testing
Mask testing is available on the DSOX1000-Series oscilloscope models.
One way to verify a waveform's compliance to a particular set of parameters is to
use mask testing. A mask defines a region of the oscilloscope's display in which
the waveform must remain in order to comply with chosen parameters.
Compliance to the mask is verified point-by-point across the display. Mask test
operates on displayed analog channels; it does not operate on channels that are
not displayed.

Region 1
Region 2
Up to 8 regions can be defined for a mask. They can be numbered 1-8. They can
appear in any order in the .msk file. The numbering of the regions must go from
top to bottom, left to right.
An Automask file contains two special regions: the region "glued" to the top of the
display, and the region that is "glued" to the bottom. The top region is indicated by
y-values of "MAX" for the first and last points. The bottom region is indicated by
y-values of "MIN" for the first and last points.
The top region must be the lowest numbered region in the file. The bottom region
must be the highest numbered region in the file.
Region number 1 is the top mask region. The vertices in Region 1 describe points
along a line; that line is the bottom edge of the top portion of the mask.
Similarly, the vertices in Region 2 describe the line that forms the top of the
bottom part of the mask.
68 Keysight InfiniiVision 1000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide
Quick Reference 2
The vertices in a mask file are normalized. There are four parameters that define
how values are normalized:
•X1
• ΔX
•Y1
•Y2
These four parameters are defined in the Oscilloscope Setup portion of the mask
file.
The Y-values (normally voltage) are normalized in the file using the following
equation:
Y
= (Y - Y1)/ΔY
norm
where ΔY = Y2 - Y1
To convert the normalized Y-values in the mask file to voltage:
Oscilloscope
Setup Information
Y = (Y
norm
* ΔY) + Y1
where ΔY = Y2 - Y1
The X-values (normally time) are normalized in the file using the following
equation:
X
= (X - X1)/ΔX
norm
To convert the normalized X-values to time:
X = (X
norm
* ΔX) + X1
The keywords "setup" and "end_setup" (appearing alone on a line) define the
beginning and end of the oscilloscope setup region of the mask file. The
oscilloscope setup information contains remote programming language
commands that the oscilloscope executes when the mask file is loaded.
Any legal remote programming command can be entered in this section.
The mask scaling controls how the normalized vectors are interpreted. This in turn
controls how the mask is drawn on the display. The remote programming

NOTE
In a mask file, all region definitions need to be separated by a blank line.
Mask regions are defined by a number of (x,y) coordinate vertices (as on an
ordinary x,y graph). A "y" value of "MAX" specifies the top of the graticule, and a
"y" value of "MIN" specifies the bottom of the graticule.
If there are more than 1000 vertices in a mask region, only the first 1000 vertices will be
processed.
The mask x,y graph is related to the oscilloscope graticule using the
:MTESt:SCALe setup commands.
The oscilloscope's graticule has a time reference location (at the left, center, or
right of the screen) and a trigger (t=0) position/delay value relative to the
reference. The graticule also has a vertical ground 0 V reference (offset relative to
the center of the screen) location.
The X1 and Y1 setup commands relate the mask region's x,y graph origin to the
oscilloscope graticule's t=0 and V=0 reference locations, and the XDELta and Y2
setup commands specify the size of the graph's x and y units.
• The X1 setup command specifies the time location of the x,y graph's x origin.
• The Y1 setup command specifies the vertical location of the x,y graph's y origin.
• The XDELta setup command specifies the amount of time associated with each
x unit.
• The Y2 setup command is the vertical location of the x,y graph's y=1 value (so
in effect, Y2 – Y1 is the YDELta value).
For example:
• With a graticule whose trigger position is 10 ns (before a center screen
reference) and whose ground reference (offset) is 2 V below the center of the
screen, to place the mask region's x,y graph's origin at center screen, you would
set X1 = 10 ns and Y1 = 2 V.
• If the XDELta parameter is set to 5 ns and Y2 is set to 4 V, a mask region whose
vertices are (-1, 1), (1, 1), (1, -1), and (-1, -1) goes from 5 ns to 15 ns and from
0V to 4V.
• If you move the mask region's x,y graph origin to the t=0 and V=0 location by
setting X1 = 0 and Y1 = 0, the same vertices define a region that goes from
-5 ns to 5 ns and from -2 V to 2 V.
72 Keysight InfiniiVision 1000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide
Quick Reference 2
NOTE
Although a mask can have up to 8 regions, in any given vertical column, it is only possible to
define 4 regions. When there are 4 regions in a vertical column, one region must be tied to the
top (using the MAX y value) and one must be tied to the bottom (using the MIN y value).
How is mask testing done? InfiniiVision oscilloscopes start mask testing by
creating a database that is 200 x 640 for the waveform viewing area. Each location
in the array is designated as either a violation or a pass area. Each time a data
point from a waveform occurs in a violation area a failure is logged. If Test All was
selected, every active analog channel is tested against the mask database for
each acquisition. Over 2 billion failures can be logged per-channel. The number of
acquisitions tested is also logged and displayed as "# of Tests".
The mask file allows greater resolution than the 200 X 640 database. Some
quantization of data occurs to reduce the mask file data for display on-screen.

Digital Voltmeter
The Digital Voltmeter (DVM) analysis feature provides 3-digit voltage and 5-digit
frequency measurements using any analog channel. DVM measurements are
asynchronous from the oscilloscope's acquisition system and are always
acquiring.

Frequency Response Analysis
On G-suffix oscilloscope models (that have a a built-in waveform generator), the
Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) feature controls the built-in waveform
generator to sweep a sine wave across a range of frequencies while measuring the
input to and output from a device under test (DUT). At each frequency, gain (A)
and phase are measured and plotted on a frequency response Bode chart.
When the frequency response analysis completes, you can move a marker across
the chart to see the measured gain and phase values at each frequency point. You
can also adjust the chart's scale and offset settings for the gain and phase plots.

Length Control
The Length control is available when saving data to CSV, ASCII XY, or BIN format
files. It sets the number of data points that will be output to the file. Only displayed
data points are saved.
The maximum number of data points depends on these things:
• Whether acquisitions are running. When stopped, data comes from the raw
acquisition record. When running, data comes from the smaller measurement
record.
• Whether the oscilloscope was stopped using [Stop] or [Single]. Running
acquisitions split memory to provide fast waveform update rates. Single
acquisitions use full memory.
• Whether only one channel of a pair is turned on. (Channels 1 and 2 are one
pair.) Acquisition memory is divided among the channels in a pair.
Keysight InfiniiVision 1000 X-Series Oscilloscopes User's Guide 85
2 Quick Reference
• Whether reference waveforms are on. Displayed reference waveforms consume
acquisition memory.
• Whether segmented memory (available on DSOX1000-Series models) is on.
Acquisition memory is divided by the number of segments.
• The horizontal time/div (sweep speed) setting. At faster settings, fewer data
points appear on the display.
• When saving to a CSV format file, the maximum number of data points is
50,000.
When necessary, the Length control performs a "1 of n" decimation of the data .
For example: if the Length is set to 1000, and you are displaying a record that is
5000 data points in length, four of each five data points will be decimated,
creating an output file 1000 data points in length.
