Today I tested the waveform updaterate.
Based on the first table of rf-loop measurements, with a sine of 600mVpp and frequencies from 1khz up to 40Mhz.
As you know, with rigol you can't make any settings regarding vector/dots or lin / sinx/x, it only works as it is.
Memory mode is set to Auto, beforehand I made sure that the aux output is actually set to trigger out.
The trigger out signal has an amplitude of 3.3V and a single pulse width of 100ns.
The updaterates appear as bursts with pauses in between, which was to be expected.
Things worth noting:
from 5ns to 500ns the rate remains almost constant, between 1µs and 5µs it drops only slightly and between 5µs and 20µs it shows the halving at every timebase change that I know of.
But then from 50µs it drops drastically from 4 digits to 2 digits, for whatever reason.
The early minimisation of the sample rate is also interesting, it is already reduced from 100µs.
The memory points remain constant at 625 kpts from 50 µs - only at 500 µs does it rise again to 781.25 kpts and then drop again to 625 - whatever triggers this, especially as 781.25 is a rather crooked number.
I will have a look at the ultra acquiremode, how to use it and then create a table from it.
First attempt was "unsuccessful", I also had max 20000wfms/s in ultra mode.
Can't be right, so I'll look for what went wrong.
