I need to capture waveform data as fast as possible. How many waveforms per second can I transfer over the bus? How many can I store in internal memory? Bus transfer rate. A number of factors control how many waveforms per second can be stored. You must use a specific bus command, and make sure that the instrument is transferring binary data that comes out MSB. Under those conditions the instrument... This FAQ applies to: DSA601A, DSA602A	837024

What are the Hydra In+ Hydra Out+ TekLink and Ethernet connectors on the PG3ACAB and PG3AMOD used for? Currently these connectors are non-functional. Teklink and Ethernet may be added in the future. The Hydra connectors are for linking multiple modules in parallel to function like one very-wide pattern generator. Again, this capability is not...	837520
What do the curved lines on the vectorscope display of color bars mean? When a color bar signal is displayed on a vectorscope the ends of the vectors are positioned in the boxes marked Red, Magenta, Blue, Cyan, Green, and Yellow. The trace lines connecting the boxes should be straight. When the lines are curved it... This FAQ applies to: WVR500, WFM91D, 1740A, 1750A, 1760, WFM90D, 1720, WVR610A, WVR7100	836817
7000 SERIES OSCILLOSCOPES FAQ The 7000 Series oscilloscopes were produced from about 1970 to 1995. While there were various mainframes, the 7000 Series plug-ins worked interchangeably with most all of the mainframes. The breadth of plug-ins available became the strength of the...	836818

<p>I have a problem with reading the measurements from the TDS7404B Oscilloscope. I do not get the measurement (for example Amplitude) for the current waveform when I request the value via IVI-COM. The value I get is either from the previous acquisitio Rather than relying on Acquisition:State which only tells you when the trigger has occurred, you should instead use one of the steps referred to in the programmers manual in the section titled, "synchronization methods". Most commonly, the *OPC... This FAQ applies to: TDS7054, TDS7104, TDS7154	837025
