Digital Storage Oscilloscopes — TPS2012B • TPS2014B • TPS2024B
Acquisition Modes
Mode Description
Peak Detect
High-frequency and random glitch capture. Captures
glitches as narrow as 12 ns typical using acquisition
hardware at all time/div settings from 5 μs/div to 50 s/div
Sample Sample data only
Average
Waveform averaged, selectable: 4, 16, 64, 128
Single Sequence Use the Single Sequence button to capture a single
triggered acquisition sequence at a time
Scan/Roll Mode At acquisition time-base settings of ≥100 ms/div
