4. Time Domain Print Format Waveform data can be printed in both graphical and tabular formats The graphical format is the most obvious format to use In tabular form the amount of data printed can cover several pages since each acquired waveform consists of 4096 floating point numbers Acquisition Modes Waveforms can be acquired in one of two ways 1 Synchronized to a transient program This requires the user to select a transient list step number in the transient window When the transient execution reaches this step a trigger signal is generated to the internal storage scope The actual trigger point can be positioned around this trigger point by setting an offset value in number of samples iL Series or time iX Series iL Series Thus an offset of 2048 samples means the trigger moment will be in the center of the waveform buffer The maximum pre trigger delay is 4095 which reflects the waveform buffer size The maximum post trigger delay is 2E 9 or 2 billion samples If a post trigger delay of more than 4095 is used the actual trigger point is no longer visible When the synchronized acquisition mode is used the user can control the sample rate from 25 useconds to 250 usecond in 25 usecond steps The Free Run mode is on when the Synchronize with Transient check box is checked iX Series The trigger delay can be set from 104 msec in single phase mode to 312 msec in three phase to 1000 msec Port trigger delay
