Waveform Copy

The

Copy math function

makes a copy of your present waveform in its unprocessed state. While

processing may continue on the original waveform, the copy enables faster throughput in some cases by
preserving the original data. That is, no calculations need to be undone on the copy before additional math can be
calculated.

This benefit of faster throughput, however, comes at the expense of memory usage.

Waveform Sparser

The Sparse math function

allows you to thin out an incoming waveform by skipping points at regular

intervals, and by starting acquisition at a particular

offset (point). The Sparsing factor specifies the number of

sample points to reduce the input waveform by. A sparsing factor of 4, for example, tells the oscilloscope to retain
only one out of every 4 samples. A

Sparsing offset of 3, on the other hand, tells the oscilloscope to begin on the

third sample, then skip the number of samples specified by the sparsing factor (4). In this way, the sample rate is
effectively reduced.

For the sparsing factor (interval), you can set a value from 1 to 1,000,000 points. For the sparsing offset you can
set a value from 0 to 999,999.

Note: The maximum sparsing offset that can be entered for any sparsing factor equals Sparsing Factor 1
