Hello, I would like to make real time data acquisitions of low frequency waveforms on my Tek TDS 784A DSO. For an example, a 0.2 Hz sine wave. It would be nice to have at least 2 complete waveforms on the screen at a time. To accomplish this, I set the record length at 500 pts per 10 divisions and time base at 1 second per division (50 pts/sec). With these settings, the scope updates about every 10 seconds when triggering off of the 0.2 Hz waveform. I tried triggering off a higher frequency square wave on another channel, but the update time did not change. I know this is possible with other scopes. Is the TDS784A capable of real time low frequency waveform display? Is there a problem with my scope? Please help!
Thank you,
Tony
