Sampling
Use for sampling and accurately
display most of the waveform.
Peak Detect
Detect the noise and decrease the
possibility of aliasing.
Average
Use to reduce random or
uncorrelated noise in the signal
display.

Sa Rate
Displays system sampling rate.
When you acquire a signal, the oscilloscope converts it into digital form
and displays a waveform. The acquisition mode defines how the signal is
digitized and the time base setting affects the time span and level of detail
in the acquisition.
 Sampling: In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope samples
the signal in evenly spaced intervals to construct the waveform.
This mode accurately represents signals most of the time.
Advantage: You can use this mode to reduce random noise.
