WaveAlert^®

Monitors the incoming signals on all channels and alerts the user to any waveform that deviates from the normal waveform being acquired

Sample

Sample data only

Average

Waveform averaged, selectable from 2 to 512

Envelope

Min-max values acquired over one or more acquisitions

Single Sequence

Use the Single Sequence button to capture a single triggered acquisition sequence at a time
