Acquisition Modes <Section 7.2, 7.4>
When storing sampled data in the acquisition memory, it is possible to perform
processing on specified data and display the resultant waveform. The following data
processing methods are available.
Normal Mode
In this mode, sampled data are stored in the acquisition memory without processing.
Averaging Mode
Averaging is a process in which waveforms are acquired repeatedly to obtain the
average of waveform data of the same timing (the same time in relation to the trigger
point).
If this mode is active, the instrument takes the linear or exponential average of incoming
data and writes the results into acquisition memory. You can set an average count of
Infinite for exponential averaging, or in the range from 2 to 65536 (in 2n steps where n is
a natural number) for simple averaging. Set the attenuation constant for exponential
averaging in the range from 2 to 256 (2n steps where n is a natural number).

This averaging process is useful when you want to eliminate random noise.
Envelope Mode
In normal mode and averaging mode, the sample rate (the number of times data is
acquired per second in the acquisition memory) drops if T/div is increased (see Appendix
1 “Relationship between the time axis setting, sample rate and record length”).
However, in the envelope mode, the maximum and minimum values are determined at
every time interval from the data sampled at 200 MS/s (high-resolution mode: 100 MS/s).
The time interval used to determine the values is the twice sampling interval of the
normal mode. The maximum and minimum values are paired and acquired in the
acquisition memory.
Envelope mode is useful when you want to avoid aliasing (section 1.2), since the sample
rate is kept high irrespective of the time axis setting (T/div). Furthermore, envelope
mode is also useful when you want to detect glitches (pulsing signals which rise very
fast) or display an envelope of a modulating signal.
