Rigol MSO5000 HiRes mode
<< < (13/18) > >>
Fungus:
It seems to gain about 1 more bit of ADC resolution.

Good point. It is of course important to distinguish enhancement of numerical precision, and ENOB enhancement. A 16-tap moving average enables 4 additional bits of numerical precision, but ENOB enhanecment is at most 2 bits.

On Rigol 5k High Res effect is a little better visible on MSO's LCD display than on pics saved from screen. If you zoom in you can see better but not as clear as on other scopes.

in order not to rely on visual assessment, I had asked for standard deviation measurements.
But these numbers aren't plausible either, when normal mode shows a lower number than hires. :-//
I wonder, whether they are possibly taken from the screen, too, or from the the "real" captured data?

its a bell and whistle after the signal path, like averaging... so take it as what it is... https://www.electronicdesign.com/technologies/test-measurement/article/21801317/why-you-should-care-about-oscilloscope-acquisition-modes if point to point averaging takes, say 8 points averaging to do 1 hi-res point (hires is someone hiring someone), at 8GSa/s, i read it as equivalent 1GSa/s of sampling rate, if the noise bandwidth is way below this rate, say few KHz, then hope to destroy this noise in averaging (hi-res mode) is almost nill, ymmv.

That is a good observation. Well spotted! Basically 4Gs/s or even 8Gs/s is complete, total and utter overkill for a 70MHz oscilloscope. Heck, it would be better to implement a decimation  algorithm that turns 16 samples into 1 sample. That would give 2 extra bits of ADC resolution. There is enough noise to make that work like a charm.

Not so overkill with 350 MHz and 4 channels simultaneously active. But I get your point.

Mh, the ED's article and Tek's doc are good stuff, especially for a beginner like me. Thanks...

Would you tell me again where to find the difference about Lecroy ERES vs common High Resolution?

Some data from excel chart + csv along with stdev.
