Board Settings

The Board Settings tab on the Digital Oscilloscope is used to control A/D board settings. Each channel has independent settings.

Note: exact board settings will vary among board types. Consult your board manual for details.

Digitizer Settings

Sampling Rate

The frequency at which the A/D board will sample the analog waveform data, in Megahertz (MHz). Available frequencies depends on the type of A/D board and *.exe.config options.

Trigger Mode

the method used to tell the A/D board to start collecting data.

See Also: Triggering

Input Range

the voltage range of the signal, in Millivolts (mV). The Y-scale of the Scope will use this range.

Threshold

Sets the voltage threshold for BNC and Threshold triggering, in Volts (v).

Status Indicators

Encoder Position

shows the current state of the encoder count on the A/D board.

Temperature

shows the current temperature of the A/D board. Consult your A/D manual for safe operating ranges.

Averaging

Averaging allows the user to combine multiple waveforms in order to smooth out noise issues.
See Also: Waveform Averaging

WFs to Average

The number of waveforms to average together.

Multitrigger

whether or not to use Multitrigger mode when performing averaging.

Holdoff

the amount of delay (in microseconds) between Multitriggers.

Align

whether or not to attempt to align the collected waveforms to the Front Surface Follower crossing before averaging.
