 Chapter 3 Horizontal System Settings
3.1 Horizontal scale
Horizontal scale, also the horizontal time base, is the time value represented by each scale in the horizontal direction,
which is usually expressed as s/div. With the SCALE knob in the horizontal control area, user can adjust the horizontal
scale in 1 – 2 – 5 steps, i.e. 5ns/div, 10ns/div, 20ns/div, 50ns/div……50s/div. Turn clockwise to decrease the scale and
turn counterclockwise to increase, the scale information on the upper left corner of the screen (as shown below) changes
in real time.

When changing the horizontal time base, the waveform will expand or compress according to the trigger point position.

3.2 ROLL mode

When the trigger mode is auto, adjust SCALE knob in the horizontal control area to change the horizontal scale to be
slower than 50ms/div, and the oscilloscope will be in ROLL mode and will continuously plot the waveform voltage-time
trend chart on the screen. The earliest waveform first appears on the right end of the screen, and then gradually moves
to the left, as shown below:

Use the slow sweep mode to observe low frequency signal, and setting “channel coupling” method to “DC” is recommended.

Note: “Horizontal displacement”, “extended window”, “protocol decoding”, “pass/fail”, “parameter measurement”,
“waveform recording” and “independent time base” are not available in ROLL mode.

17
3.3 Extended Window
The extended window can be used to magnify a waveform horizontally to view the waveform details.
Press the HORI MENU button on the horizontal control area, then press the type key can turn on the extended window.
Or simply press the SCALE knob to directly enter the extended window, the screen will be divided into two display areas,
as shown below:
Waveform before magnification

Extended
time base

Main time
base

Waveform after magnification

Waveform before magnification:

The upper part of the screen displays the original waveform, which can be moved left and right through rotating the
horizontal POSITION knob, or zoom in and out the selected area by rotating the horizontal SCALE knob.

Waveform before magnification:

The lower part of the screen displays the horizontally extended waveform, and the extended window enhances the
resolution relative to the main time base.

Note: The extended window function is only available when the horizontal time base is between 20ms/div~5us/div.

3.4 Independent Time Base

In independent time base, CH1~CH4 can be set as different time base scales so that signals of different frequencies can
be observed by multiple channels. Press HORI MENU →Time base setting to enter the independent time base
As shown below, CH1 is a 10Hz sine wave, CH2 is a 1kHz square wave, CH3 10kHz triangular wave, CH4 100kHz pulse
wave, so signals with great frequency difference can be observed simultaneously by independent time base. Press the
CH1 button to activate CH1, then user can change the CH1 time base scale by adjusting the horizontal SCALE knob, and
adjustment method for other channels are similar to this.

18
3.5 Trigger Hold-off
Trigger hold-off can observe the complex waveforms (such as pulse train). Hold-off time is the amount of time
the oscilloscope waits before re-enabling the trigger circuit. During the hold-off period, the oscilloscope will not
trigger until the hold-off time is over. For example, a set of pulse train, which is required to trigger on the first
pulse, the hold-off time can be set to the pulse train width.
Press the HORI MENU on the horizontal control area and then adjust the Multipurpose knob to set the trigger
hold-off time. Input a combined waveform to CH1, and adjust the trigger hold-off time until the waveform can be
triggered steadily, as shown below:

Chapter 4 Sampling System Settings

Sampling is taking analog input signal and converts it into discrete points by using the analog to digital converter (ADC).
Press the ACQUIRE key to enter the sample menu.

Functions Options Descriptions

Normal Sampling in the normal way

Peak Sampling in peak detection mode

Sampling Mode High resolution Sampling in high-resolution mode

Envelope Sampling in envelop mode

19
4.1 Sampling Rate
(1) Sampling and Sampling Rate
Sampling means that the oscilloscope samples the input analog signal, converts the sample to digital data, and
then the digital data will be collected into waveform records stored in the acquisition memory.

Analog Singal Sampling Points

Sampling rate refers to the time interval between two sampling points. The maximum sampling rate of the UPO2000E
series is 1 GS/s.
The sampling rate will be affected by the time base scale and the memory depth. UPO2000E oscilloscopes displays the
sampling rate in real time at the top status bar, user can change the horizontal time base by adjusting the horizontal
SCALE knob or change the memory depth to change the sampling rate.

(2) Low Sampling Rate Effect

a.Waveform Distortion: Due to low sampling rate, the details of the waveform might be missing, which makes a
great difference between sampling waveform and actual signal.

b. Wave Mixing: When the sampling rate is 2 times lower than the actual signal frequency (Nyquist frequency),
the frequency of the reconstructed signal will be less than the actual signal frequency.

20
c. Waveform Leakage: Due to low sampling rate, the reconstructed waveform might not reflect the actual signal.

4.2 Acquisition Mode

To obtain a waveform from sampling points, press ACQUIRE →
F1 to switch between acquisition modes.
(1) Normal Sampling
In this acquisition mode, the signal is sampled and reconstructed with equal time intervals. For most waveforms,
the use of this mode can produce the best display.

(2) Peak Sampling

In this acquisition mode, the maximum and minimum values of the input signal are found at each sampling interval,
and the waveform is displayed using these values. This way, the oscilloscope can acquire and display the narrow pulse,
otherwise the narrow pulse might be missed in the normal sampling mode. Noise might be enlarged in this mode.

(3) High Resolution

In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope averages the neighboring points of the sampled waveform, which can reduce
random noise from the input signal and generate smoother waveforms.

(4) Envelope
The sampling points gathered at same time are calculated and the maximum and minimum values
are displayed. Peak detection mode is used for individual acquisitions using general envelope mode.

(5) Average
In this acquisition mode, the oscilloscope obtains several waveforms and finds the average, and
displays the final waveform. This method can reduce random noise.
By changing the acquisition mode settings, the resulting waveform display changes. The unaveraged
and the 32 times averaged waveform are displayed below for comparison.

Waveform without average Waveform with 32 times average

Note: Average and high resolution uses different average methods. The former is multiple sampling average,
the latter is single sampling average.

21
4.3 Storage Depth
The storage depth is the number of waveforms that can be stored in the oscilloscope during a trigger acquisition. It reflects
the memory storage capacity of the acquisition.

Memory depth, sampling rate and wavelength should meet the following formula:
Memory depth = Sampling rate × Horizontal time base × Horizontal grids
UPO2000E comes with 56Mpts memory depth (per channel). Press ACQUIRE Memory depth to set the memory depth to
automatic, 28k, 280k, 2.8M, 28M or 56M. The default is automatic.

Chapter 5 Trigger System Settings

Trigger determines when the oscilloscope starts to collect data and display waveform. Once the trigger is correctly set, it can
convert unstable signals into meaningful waveforms. In the beginning of data acquisition, it first collects enough data to plot
a waveform starting on the left of the trigger point, and continuously collects data while waiting for the trigger. When a trigger
is detected, the device continuously acquires enough data for plotting a waveform to the right of the trigger point.
In this chapter UPO2XX4E will be used as the example.

5.1 Trigger System Interpretation

(1) Trigger Source
Trigger source is signal for trigger generating. Triggers can be obtained from a variety of sources such as input channels
(CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4), external trigger (EXT, EXT/5), AC Line, etc.
Input channel
Select any one of the analog signal input terminal CH1~CH4 on the oscilloscope front panel as a trigger signal.
External Trigger
Select the EXT Trig (EXT or EXT /5 input terminal) input signal from the oscilloscope rear panel as a trigger signal.
For example, the external clock input can be used on the EXT Trig terminal as a trigger source, including EXT and
EXT/5. EXT trigger level ranges from -0.9V ~ +0.9V can be set. EXT/5 trigger level range is increased to -4.5V~ +4.5V.
AC Line






Power supply, used to observe signals related to mains, such as relationship between lighting equipment and power
supply equipment, so as to achieve stable synchronization.

(2) Trigger Mode

Trigger mode determines the behavior of the oscilloscope during a trigger event. This oscilloscope provides three kinds of
trigger modes: auto, normal, and single trigger.
Auto trigger:
When there is no trigger signal, the system automatically runs, collects and displays data. When the trigger signal is
generated, it automatically switches to trigger scanning and signal synchronization.
Note: This mode allows 100ms/div or slower time shift without triggering in ROLL mode.

Normal trigger:
The oscilloscope can only collect data when the trigger condition is satisfied. When it is not triggered, the oscilloscope
will stop data acquisition and wait for the trigger signal.

Single trigger:
Press once the SINGLE key and the oscilloscope will wait for the trigger. When the instrument detects a trigger, the
waveform is sampled and displayed, and enters the STOP state. Press the SINGLE button on the front panel of the
oscilloscope to quickly enter the single trigger mode.

22
(3) Trigger Coupling
Trigger coupling determines which part of the signal will be transmitted to the trigger circuit. The coupled type includes DC,
AC, low/high frequency suppression, and noise suppression.
DC: Allows all of the signal
AC: Blocks the DC component and attenuates any signal components below 10Hz.
High frequency suppression: Attenuates high frequency components over 80kHz.
Low frequency suppression: Blocks the DC component and attenuates low frequency components below 8kHz.
Noise suppression: Suppress high frequency noise in the signal, and reduces probability of error.

(4) Trigger Sensitivity

The minimum signal required to generate a correct trigger. For example, normally the input channel (CH1~CH4) trigger
sensitivity is 1div, which means the source signal should be at least 1div.

(5) Pre-trigger / Delayed Trigger

Data collected before / after the event.
Trigger position is usually set at the level of the screen, and you can observe 7 grids of pre-trigger and delay trigger
information. The horizontal displacement of the wave can be adjusted by the horizontal displacement POSITION knob in
order to observe more pre-trigger information. By observing the pre-trigger data, you can observe the waveform situation
before the trigger. For example, capturing the burr generated at the start of the circuit, by observing and analyzing the
pre-trigger data, it can help to find out the cause of the burr.

(6) Forced Trigger

Press the FORCE key to generate a forced trigger signal.
If the waveform is not displayed in normal or single shot mode, press the FORCE button to collect signal baseline to
ensure acquisition is normal.

 Chapter 6 Protocol Decoding
UPO2000E decodes the input signals of the analog channels using common protocols, including parallel, RS232, I2C,
SPI. Users can easily find errors, debug hardware, and speed up development progress by protocol decoding, which
provides guarantees for completing projects with high speed and high quality.

6.1 RS232 Decoding

RS232 interface is the standard asynchronous transmission interface established by Electronic IndustriesAssociation.
Normally, there are two application types: DB-9 and DB-25, it is suitable for data transmission rate between 0 to 20000b/s,
which are widely used in PC communication interface. According to the protocol, the data will be combined to form a group
of specific serial bits, and sent out using asynchronous serial method. The data sent each time is composed according to
the following rules: a start bit is sent first, followed by 5~8 data bits, then an optional parity bit, and finally 1 or 2 stop bits.
The data bits size should be decided by the two communication parties, which can be chosen between 5 to 8 data bits;
there may be no parity bits, or the odd parity or even parity can be selected; and the stop bit can be 1 bit or 2 bits. In the
following instruction, a data string transmission is called one frame, shown in the figure below:

Rs232 Selection:
Press DECODE type , and select RS232 by the Multipurpose knob. You can also switch the trigger type by
consecutively pressing the type key, then press the Multipurpose knob to confirm.

Source:
Press the source button to select any of CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4. The currently selected source is displayed at the upper
right corner of the screen.
Note: Only selecting the channel with connected signals as a trigger source can obtain a stable trigger and correct decoding.

Polarity:
Press the polarity button to choose the trigger polarity: positive polarity or negative polarity.
(1) Negative polarity: Opposite logic level polarity, i.e. high level is 0, low level is 1.
(2) Positive polarity: Normal logic level polarity, i.e. high level is 1, low level is 0.

Bit Width:
Specifies the data bit width of the RS232 protocol signal that needs to be decoded.
Press bit width to select 5bits, 6bits, 7bits, or 8bits.

35
Baud Rate:
RS232 communication is an asynchronous transmission communication without clock signals during the data transmission
process. In order to solve the data bit problems, the protocol specifies that both communication parties need to agree on
the baud rate. Normally, the baud rate is defined as bits transmitted within 1 second. For example, 9600bps means that
9600 bits can be transmitted within 1 second. Note that the start bit, data bit, parity bit and stop bit are all regarded as bits.
Therefore, baud rate is not directly equal to valid data transmission rate. The oscilloscope will sample the Bit value according
to the set baud rate.

Press the polarity button to select 2400bps, 4800bps, 9600bps, 19200bps, 38400bps, 57600bps, 115200bps, or user-defined,
which users adjust the baud rate by the Multipurpose knob

It is recommended to make reasonable settings based on your RS232 communication hardware and software. Limited by
the basic model of the transmission protocol, the RS232 protocol is usually used in short distance (below 20m) and low
speed (1Mbps) transmission occasions. Communication beyond these ranges can be disturbed easily or become unreliable.

Bit Sequence:
Specify high bytes in front (MSB) or low bytes in front (LSB) to be the data bits of the RS232 protocol signal that needs to
be decoded.
Press PgDn bit sequence to select MSB or LSB.
(1) MSB: The high byte of the data transmits first.
(2) LSB: The low byte of the data transmits first.

Stop Bit:
Press PgDn stop bit to set the stop bit for each frame of data, you can set it to 1 bit or 2 bits.

Parity:
Press PgDn parity to set the parity mode for data transmission, you can choose none, even parity or odd parity.

Trigger Condition:
Press PgDn trigger condition to select start of frame, error frame, parity error, and data.
(1) Start of Frame: The waveform trigger is at the start bit of the RS232 protocol (refer to figure). Stable waveforms can be
observed by choosing the start of frame trigger when single string signals or multiple same string signals are sent. If the
data being sent is changing, the waveform will also change correspondingly.
(2) Error Frame: 0 occurs in the stop state or a data error occurs in the middle of the data bits during the receiving process.
(3) Parity Error: Set the RS232 parity bit to 0 or 1 according to the parity principles, the principles are as follows:
Odd Parity: If the total number of 1 in the data bits and parity bits is odd, the transmission is correct.
Even Parity: If the total number of 1 in the data bits and parity bits is even, the transmission is correct.
With this option, you can quickly find the parity errors during the RS232 communication process, which is convenient for
fault analysis and positioning.
(4) Data: Triggers when the data acquired by the oscilloscope is equal to the 2 hexadecimal values set by the user. With this
option, you can quickly find the transmission signal with specific data that you are interested in.

Data:
Valid when the trigger condition is data, it can be 00 ~ FF (hexadecimal number).
Set the data using the Multipurpose knob.

Decode Bus:
Press PgDn decode bus to enter the decode bus menu.
(1) Bus Status: Set the decode bus to on or off.
(2) Display Format: Set the display format of decode bus, you can set hexadecimal, decimal, binary or ASCII.

36
(3) Event List: Displays the decoded data, corresponding line number, time and error information of the data line in a tabular
form for easily observe the longer decoded data.
(4) Pseudo Square Wave: Select on and the bus shows a square wave with logic 1 for high level and logic 0 for low level.
(5) Vertical Position: Adjust the Multipurpose knob to change the bus display position.
(6) Data Packet: After the device is paused, user can view the decoded data packets.

Trigger Setting:
Please refer to the Trigger Setting in the Edge Trigger section for more details.

6.2 I2C Decode

I2C protocol is usually used to connect a microcontroller and its peripheral equipment, and it is widely used in the field of
microelectronics communication control. The bus protocol uses two lines to transmit. One is serial data line SDA, the other
is serial clock line. The host-slave mechanism is adopted, which is a 2-way communication between host and slave. The
bus is multi-host which prevents data destruction through collision detection and arbitration mechanism. It's remarkable
that I2C bus has two kinds of address width: 7 bits and 10 bits. The two are compatible and can be combined. Both SCL
and SDA are connected to power through pull-up resistors. When the bus is vacant, the two lines are at high level. When
any component of bus outputs low level, the bus signals will become low. That is to say, the signals of multi-components
are wired AND logic. The special logic relationship is the key point to realize bus arbitration. The protocol requires that data
SDA should keep stable when clock line SCL is high. Normally, the data is transmitted by MSB format, as shown below:

I2C Selection:
Press DECODE type , and select I2C by the Multipurpose knob. You can also switch the trigger type by consecutively
pressing the type key, then press the Multipurpose knob to confirm.

SCL Source:

Address Mode:
Press the address key to select the address mode and set the address bit width of I2C signal that needs to be triggered,
you can select 7bits or 10bits.

Operation Direction:
Press PgDn operation direction to select write or read.
(1) Write: Triggers when the “read/write” bit of the I2C protocol is “write”.
(2) Read: Triggers when the “read/write” bit of the I2C protocol is “read”.

37
Trigger Condition:
Press PgDn trigger condition to set the I2C trigger condition: Start, restart, stop, loss, address, data, address & data.
(1) Start: Triggers at the start time, that is, while the SCL is in high level, the SDA signal has a falling edge.
(2) Restart: Triggers at the restarting moment, that is, after a start signal, and before it stops, the start signal appears again.
(3) Stop: Triggers when the stop bit occurs, that is, while the SCL is in high level, the SDA signal jumps from low to high.
(4) Loss: In I2C protocol, every time after 8 bits of information are transmitted, the data receiver needs to send an
acknowledgement signal, which is the ACK bit in the above figure when the SCL is in high level, the SDA signal is low.
The loss trigger will occur while the SCL and SDA signal at the ACK bit are both high.
(5) Address: Triggers when the communication address is the same with the user setting address. It can help to quickly
locate the address transmission.
(6) Data: Triggers when the detected data is equal to/ greater than/ less than/ not equal to the set Value. This feature is
convenient for the data analysis and can capture the abnormal data.
(7) Address & Data: Triggers when the addresses are the same and the data relationship meets the set conditions during
the transmission process. This trigger condition makes it easy to implement the I2C’s specified address and data trigger,
and help to analyze the transmission.

Address:
Press PgDn address , and set the data address by Multipurpose knob. The ranges are 0~0x7F, 0~0xFF and 0~0x3FF
depend o different setttings in address mode.

>: Valid when the trigger condition is data or address/data, triggers when the actual I2C protocol data is greater than the
set data.
<: Valid when the trigger condition is data or address/data, triggers when the actual I2C protocol data is less than the
set data.
=: Valid when the trigger condition is data or address/data, triggers when the actual I2C protocol data is equal to the
set data.
(2) Bytes: Valid when the trigger condition is data or address/data, set the data byte size of the specified data from 1 ~ 5.
(3) Data: Valid when the trigger condition is data or address/data, each byte length can be set from 00 ~ FF (hexadecimal
number). You can set the data by the Multipurpose knob, and press the back key to return to the previous setting menu.

6.3 SPI Decode
SPI interface is a kind of synchronous serial peripheral interface, which can make the host and all kinds of peripheral
equipment undertake communication through the serial methods. It is a kind of synchronous communication bus of full
duplex. It usually uses four signal lines: MOSI: the host data output, the slave data input; MISO: the host data input, the
slave data output; SCLK: clock signal generated by the host; CS: the slave chip selection enable signal.
SPI interface is mainly used for synchronous serial data transmission between the host and low speed peripheral devices.
Under the shift pulse of the host, the data is transmitted in bits, that is to say, higher bit first and then lower bit. Since the
SPI interface does not need to look for the slave address and is full duplex communication, the protocol itself is relatively
simple and therefore is widely used. SPI protocol transmission is shown in the following picture:

Note: At least 3 output channels are required. Therefore, this function is only available on the 4-channel product of

of the waveforms (such as square waves).
(2) Point: Displays the sampling points directly.

Display Format:
Press DISPLAY format to select YT, XY 1&2, XY 3&4.
(1) YT: Displays voltage value on time scale (horizontal scale).
(2) XY 1&2: Displays the Lissajous figure of CH1~CH2 waveforms, you can easily measure the phase difference between
the two signals of the same frequency.
(3) XY 3&4: Displays the Lissajous figure of CH3~CH4 waveforms, you can easily measure the phase difference between
the two signals of the same frequency. (Only for 4-channel models).

Grid Brightness:
Press DISPLAY grid brightness , and adjust the Multipurpose knob to set the grid brightness.

Waveform Brightness:
Press DISPLAY waveform brightness , and adjust the Multipurpose knob to set the waveform brightness.

Persist:
Press DISPLAY persist to select MIN, 50ms, 100ms, 200ms, 500ms, 1s, 5s, 10s, 20s or infinite.

Color Temperature:
Press DISPLAY PgDn color temperature , select on and it will directly reflect the probability of waveform signal
occurrence. A waveform with a high frequency of occurrence is displayed in warm colors, and a waveform with a low
frequency of occurrence is displayed in cool color.

Inverse Color Temperature:

Press DISPLAY PgDn inverse color temperature and select on, this function is opposite to the color
temperature function.
Note: The inverse color temperature is available only when the color temperature is set to on.

8.2 XY Mode
The waveform displayed in XY mode is also called the Lissajous figure.

When XY 1&2 are selected, the CH1 signal is input on the horizontal axis (X axis), and the CH2 signal is input on the
vertical axis (Y axis).
When XY 3&4 are selected, the CH3 signal is input on the horizontal axis (X axis), and the CH4 signal is input on the
vertical axis (Y axis). Only 4-channel models have this function.

In X-Y mode, when CH1 or CH3 is activated, use the horizontal POSITION knob to move the XY figure in the horizontal
direction. When CH2 or CH4 is activated, use the vertical POSITION knob to move the XY figure in the vertical direction.

Adjust the vertical SCALE knob to change the amplitude of each channel, and adjust the horizontal SCALE knob to change
the time base to get a better display effect of the Lissajous figures. The waveform in XY mode is shown in the following figure:

45
 Picture 7-1 Waveform display in XY mode
8.3 Application of XY Mode
The Lissajous method makes it easy to observe the phase difference between two signals of the same frequency.
The following figure shows the observation of phase difference.

According to sinθ = A/B or C/D, θ is the phase difference angle between channels, and the definition of A, B and C, D are
shown above, it can be calculated that the phase difference angle θ = ± arcsin (A/B) or θ = ± arcsin (C/D). If the main axis
of the ellipse is in the quadrants I, III, then the calculated phase difference angle should be in the quadrants I, IV, i.e. within
(0~π/2) or (3π/2~2π); If the main axis of the ellipse is in the quadrants II, IV, then the calculated phase difference angle
should be within (π/2~π) or (π~3π/2).

In addition, if the frequency or phase difference of the two detected signals is an integer, the frequency and the phase
relationship between the two signals can be calculated according to the pattern in the following chart:

and Troubleshooting
14.1 System Prompt Information Description
Operation at limit: In the current state, adjustment has reached the limit and cannot continue. When the vertical scale knob,
time base knob, level shift, vertical shift or trigger level, etc. reaches the adjustment limit, the prompt will show up.
USB device is not inserted: This prompt appears if you select USB as storage disk but not connected with USB storage device.
Load Failed: When loading a saved setting or waveform, this prompt appears if there is no stored setting or waveform in
the memory location.

14.2 Trouble Shooting

(1) When the power button is pressed and the oscilloscope is black screen:
①

Check the power supply connection and check power supply is normal or not.
② Make sure the power switch at the back of the oscilloscope is open, press the front panel power key and confirm green
light and a relay sound is present.
③ If there is a relay sound, it indicates that the oscilloscope starts normally. Try the following operations: press the
DEFAULT key, then press F1, if device returns to normal, it means backlight brightness is too low.
④ After completing the above steps, restart the oscilloscope.
⑤ If you still cannot use this product normally, please contact UNI-T.

(2) After signal acquisition, waveform does not appear on display:

① Check if the probe is connected to the signal test point.
② Check if the signal line is connected to the analog channel input.
③ Check if the analog channel input of the input signal is consistent with the opened channel.
④ Connect the probe to the probe compensation signal connector on oscilloscope’s front panel and check whether the
probe is normal.
⑤ Check to see if there is a signal to be detected (solve the problem by comparing the channel with signal generated and
the one with problem).
⑥ Press AUTO button for signal re-acquisition.

(3) The measured voltage amplitude value is 10 times larger or smaller than the actual value:
Make sure the probe attenuation coefficient in the channel matches the attenuation of the probe used.

58
(4) There is a waveform displays but not stable:
① Check the trigger source in the trigger menu and confirm that it matches the input channel of the actual signal.
② Check the trigger type: Normal signals should use edge trigger mode. Stable waveform will be displayed only by setting
to the correct trigger mode.
③ Try changing the trigger coupling to high frequency suppression or low frequency suppression in order to filter out the
high or low frequency noise which might interfere the trigger.

(5) Pressing the RUN/STOP key and no waveform is displayed:

① Check whether the trigger mode is normal or single, and whether the trigger level has exceeded the waveform range.
If so, center the trigger level or set the trigger mode to AUTO .
② Press the AUTO key to complete the above settings automatically.

(6) Waveform refresh rate is too slow:

① Check whether the acquisition mode is average, and the average times is large.
② You can speed up the refresh rate by reducing the average times or select other acquisition mode such as normal
sampling.
