Thank you for your explanation! Is there a way to turn this feature off? As far as I can see, I can only reduce the impact of that moving average filter by choosing the minimum number of samples used for the moving average (8 Bits), or by using a much higher sampling rate...

Hi, I was able to reproduce the described behaviour at my desk (see video under the link below). It is not as dramatic as I experienced it last time. But still you can clearly see that the spikes that are visible during the measurement are shrinking in the moment the measurement is stopped. Why is t...

Ok. The way you describe it is logical to me. Unfortunately this does not explain my observations. Do active math channels have an influence on this? Any other ideas?

This is understood so far. But why is the live trace drawn with a higher sampling rate? In other words: If the SW is able to draw the live trace with a high sampling rate, why is this downsampled at measurement stop?

This sounds as if you are describing the downsampling of data which is used when drawing a live trace on the screen whilst the scope is running, and the drawing of the complete trace using the collected raw data as soon as you stop the recording. Ok. But in that case I don't understand why this dow...

I have observed the following behaviour multiple times. I'd like to understand what is going on. I'm using the PicoScope 3406DMSO togheter with PicoScope 6. I record an analog signal (which is not periodic). I set the (desired) sampling rate to some high level (e.g. 2MS) and the time base to 1s/div....
