What deterimes the amount of data in a waveform from a TDS 1012 scope

[Kaspar]

Hello,

   What determines the amount of data that is in a waveform that comes out of a TDS 1012 scope? I am assuming that I will have to look at the driver vi to determine the commands sent to the scope to figure it out. I am in a situation that I need to have the y axis to have a high resolution, that results in very little data being collected from the scope.

Regards,

Hi Kaspar,

Could you post the answer to your question that you found? That way, others can learn from it as well. Thanks!

Hello,

    The amount of data that comes out of the TDS 1012 scope is determined by the data start (DATa:STARt)  and data stop (DATa:STOP)  commands that are defined on page 58 (2-38) in the  346 page programming manual for the scope. I found of that the data start was not set to 1, which is the beginning of the data.

    I also had a very low level signal on channel that was all most unreadable by the scope that caused me to think that I was not getting all of the data.
