Sample Mode
Press ACQ  Sampling and press this softkey continuously to switch the sample
mode (the default is real-time sample). Note: all the “Acquisition Mode” support
real-time sample and equivalent sample.
Real-time Sample
In this mode, the oscilloscope samples and displays waveform within a trigger event.
The maximum real-time sample rate of DS6000 is 5 GSa/s and the current sample
rate is displayed under the Sa Rate menu.
Equivalent Sample
In this mode, the oscilloscope performs multiple trigger samples, samples at
different positions of each trigger and uses the sample points from multiple triggers
to rebuild the signal. The equivalent sample mode helps with detailed observation of
the repeated periodic signals. The maximum equivalent sample rate of DS6000 is
100 GSa/s.
Tip
Press Run/Stop to stop the sample, the oscilloscope will hold the last display. At
this point, you can still use the vertical control and horizontal control to pan and
zoom the waveform.
