WaveScan in WaveSurfer 3000 Oscilloscopes
page | 3 of 3
WaveScan can also direct the WaveSurfer 3000 to take specific actions upon finding the sought-after event,
including stopping acquisitions, saving waveform(s), printing the screen, beeping, or saving to a LabNotebook
entry.
Conclusion
WaveScan adds considerable functionality to the WaveSurfer 3000 oscilloscopes beyond what is offered by any
hardware trigger. While a hardware trigger only finds one event per acquisition, WaveScan identifies all events
which meet the criteria. Also, the types of waveform activity that can be found by WaveScan are more in-depth
than that offered by hardware triggers. This allows users to accumulate a data set of unusual events that are
separated by hours, minutes, or even days, enabling comprehensive debugging.
