mode is indicated in the acquisition label ("A" icon) at the top of the screen.
Normal
In Normal acquisition mode, the oscilloscope samples the signal at a fixed time
erval to rebuild the waveform. This mode produces the best display for most
int
waveforms.
Average
In this mode, the oscilloscope averages the waveforms from multiple acquisitions to
reduce the random noise of the input signal and increase the vertical resolution. A
greater number of averages lowers the noise and increases the vertical resolution. On
the other hand, the higher the number of averages, the slower the response of the
displayed waveform to waveform changes.

The number of averages must be the Nth power of 2. When it is not in N power-of-2
increments, a prompt message "Truncation average error" is displayed. At this time, a value
that is smaller than the one you input and the closest to N power-of-2 increments will be input
automatically.
Peak

In this mode, the oscilloscope acquires the maximum and minimum v
alues of the
signal within the acquisition interval to get the signal envelope or capture narrow
pulses that might be lost. This mode prevents signal aliasing at the expense of
exaggerating the noise.
In this mode, the minimum pulse width detected is the sample period.
High Resolution
This mode uses a kind of ultra-sample technique to average sequential sample points
to reduce the random noise on the input signal and generate much smoother
waveforms on the screen. This is generally used when the sample rate of the digitizer
is higher than the storage rate in acquisition memory.

The XY mode can be used to measure the phase deviation occurred when the signal
under test passes through a circuit network. Connect the oscilloscope to the circuit to
monitor the input and output signals of the circuit.

on the screen once a particular trigger condition is met. For a digital oscilloscope, it
samples waveform continuously no matter whether it is stably triggered. Rather, only
stable triggering can produce stable display. The trigger module ensures that every
time base sweep or acquisition starts from the user-defined trigger condition, namely
every sweep is synchronous with the acquisition and the waveforms acquired are
overlapped so as to display the stable waveforms.
You should set the triggers based on the features of the input signal. To quickly
capture your desired waveforms, you need to understand the signal under test. This
oscilloscope provides a variety of trigger types that help you focus on the desired
waveform details.

Analog channel input
Signals input from analog channels CH1-CH4 can all be used as trigger sources. No
matter whether the channel selected is enabled, the channel can work normally.
AC line input
The trigger signal is obtained from the AC power input of the oscilloscope. AC trigger
is usually used to measure signals relevant to the AC power frequency. For example, it
can stably trigger the waveform output from the transformer of a transformer
substation. It is mainly used in related measurements of the power industry.

After the oscilloscope starts running, it first fills the pre-trigger buffer. Then, after the
pre-trigger buffer is filled, the oscilloscope starts searching for a trigger. While
searching for the trigger, the data sampled will still be transmitted to the pre-trigger
buffer (the new data will continuously overwrite the previous data). When a trigger is
found, the pre-trigger buffer contains the events that occurred just before the trigger.
