Teledyne LeCroy WaveSurfer MXs-B Quick Reference Guide - Manual (Page 5)

Overview
WaveSurfer contains WaveStream
technology that closely simulates the
look and feel of a lively, analog display
by providing a fast display update rate.
You may adjust the intensity of the
trace(s), and sample at the full scope
sampling rate while in WaveStream
mode, which significantly enhances
glitch finding capability.

Math and Measure in WaveStream Mode
WaveStream traces comprise many overlayed traces. While in WaveStream
mode, math and measurements are applied only to the last trace in the WaveStream
acquisition. A math trace will not have the same appearance as a channel does in
WaveStream mode, and measurements will accumulate more slowly compared
to real-time sampling mode.
Zooming in WaveStream Mode
WaveStream data is pixilated data with 256 different intensity levels. If you zoom a
WaveStream trace, you will zoom pixilated data. Therefore, it is recommended that
you toggle to real-time sampling mode for most zooming.

between real-time sampling
and WaveStream fast
viewing mode.
Turn Knob
to adjust intensity in either WaveStream fast
viewing mode or real-time sampling mode.
