Connect Dots Field
The oscilloscope display can optionally be enhanced to show a better
picture of a waveform. This is done by using the Connect Dots On or
Connect Dots Off feature of the display. The default setting for the Connect
Dots field is Off.
If an edge is fast enough (relative to the sample rate), the signal may begin to
look like dots scattered around the display. This is because each sample is
displayed as a single dot.
To give you a better idea of what the waveform looks like, the oscilloscope
has a feature that connects the sample dots together. Touching the Connect
Dots field will toggle the field between On and Off.
On
With Connect Dots On, each displayed sample is connected to the adjacent
sample. The waveform displayed with Connect Dots set to On is better
defined and easier to see.
Off
With Connect Dots Off, each sample is displayed separately; that is, it is not
connected to the adjacent sample. The waveform displayed with Connect
Dots set to Off is the default mode of operation.
