Click the [External sampling] button to set it to [On] or [Off].
Off
Disables the external sampling function.
On Choose this option to sample data at a sampling rate dened by a signal inputted into
the external control terminal (EXT.SMPL).
Samples data at rising edges of the input signal.
Samples data at falling edges of the input signal.

In the [Shot] area, click the [Points] box, and then choose an option for the number of points
to be measured from the list.
2.5 k
, 5 k, 10 k, 20 k, 50 k, 100 k, 200 k, 500 k, 1 M, 2 M, 5 M, 10 M, 20 M, 50 M, 100 M
Enabling [Any] and clicking [Points] allows you to enter the number of points in 100 increments.
When the real-time save is set to [On], you cannot specify the recording length in the [Points] box.
Choose [Save], and enter the recording length in the [Recording time] box. (p. 89)
The maximum recording length you can specify varies depending on the number of modules to be used, the
number of divided memories, and module types to be used.
5
Click the [Mode] box, and then choose a recording mode from the list.
Single Measures waveforms only once. Clicking the start icon starts recording waveforms,
and then stops when recording-length waveforms have been acquired.
Repeat
Measures waveforms repeatedly. Clicking the stop icon stops the measurement.
When you choose [Repeat] and set [Count] to [On], measurements repeat the number of times entered in
the [Count] box.
When [Realtime save] is set to [On], you can choose [Single] mode only.
6
Click the [Unit in use] box, and then choose the number of modules to be used for
measurement from the list.
27
Measures waveforms through all modules.
16 Measures waveforms through module 1 through module 16.
8 Measures waveforms through module 1 through module 8.
4 Measures waveforms through module1 through module 4.
You cannot perform measurement across invalid units. Generator modules, however, can be used.
Logic modules can be used only if the number of modules is set to [27].
16 modules
Enables module 1 through module 16 installed in the
slots shown in the right.
8 modules
Enables module 1 through module 8 installed in the slots
shown in the right.
4 modules
Enables module 1 through module 4 installed in the slots
shown in the right.

If the instrument plots false waveforms (aliasing)
If a measured signal oscillates at a higher frequency compared to the sampling rate you choose,
the instrument may plot a false waveform oscillating at a frequency lower than that of the actual
signal once the signal frequency reaches a certain level. This phenomenon is called aliasing.
Actual input
signal
Sampling interval:
Sampled points
Observed
waveform
A sampling interval longer than the cycle of the
input signal causes aliasing.
To plot a sign wave that allows you to observe the peaks without any aliasing, the instrument needs
to sample the waveform at a minimum of 25 points per cycle.

Setting Measurement Conditions
To set the sampling rate automatically
Refer to “3.7 Measuring Signals With the Auto-range Setting” of Quick Start Manual.
Update rate of each module
The data refresh rate is not allowed to exceed the maximum sampling rate of each module.
The instrument measures the same data until the data gets updated, causing the instrument to plot
a stair-step waveform.
In addition, even though the instrument measures the same signal simultaneously, values may vary
due to differences in the sampling rate, frequency range, and frequency characteristics of modules.
