RIGOL Chapter 16 Display Control
16-2 MSO5000-E User Guide
To Select the Display Type
Press Display to enter the display control setting menu. Press Type continuously to
set the waveform display mode to "Vector" or "Dots".
Vector display: indicates that the sample points are connected by lines and
displayed, as shown in the left figure below. In most cases, this mode can
provide the most vivid waveform for you to view the steep edge of the waveform
(such as square waveform).
Dots display: displays the sample points directly, as shown in the right figure
below. You can directly view each sample point and use the cursor to measure
the X and Y values of the sample point.

To Set the Persistence Time
Press Persis.Time, and rotate the multifunction knob to set the persistence
time for the oscilloscope and then press down the knob to select it. You can also
press Persis.Time continuously or enable the touch screen to select it. The available
values are Min, 100 ms, 200 ms, 500 ms, 1 s, 2 s, 5 s, 10 s, and Infinite.
In the following part, a frequency sweep signal of the sine waveform is used to
demonstrate the waveform effects in different persistence times.
1. Min
Enables to view waveform changing in high refresh rate.
2. Specific Values
Enables to view glitches that change relatively slowly or glitches with lower
occurrence probability. The persistence time can be set to 100 ms, 200 ms, 500
ms, 1 s, 2 s, 5 s, or 10 s.
3. Infinite
In this mode, the oscilloscope displays the waveform newly acquired without
clearing the waveforms acquired formerly. The waveforms acquired formerly will
be displayed in relatively low-brightness color and the newly acquired
waveforms will be displayed in normal brightness and color. Infinite persistence
can be used to measure noise and jitter and to capture incidental events.
