I'm using a MSO54, and I need to record (at each trigger) two signals which have very different time evolution (20ms and 100 ns).

I therefore have the following problem : if I set the time base to see the first signal (20ms) I practically do not see the second (100ns), if on the other hand the time base is set on the second signal (100ns) I cannot obtain useful information on the first one.

So my question is : is it possible to display and record (even just record would be fine with me) the two signals described in two separate windows with two different time bases but synchronized to the same zero time value?

PS I know how to do this using two oscilloscopes but I'd like to be able to do it with one.

Hi,

The MSO54 is not capable of doing two independent timebases, but it is capable of recording 80 ms of events at the full 6.25 GS/s, which would allow you to record both of your events at the same time and then zoom in on the event you would like, with no loss of signal fidelity. Higher recording lengths are possible with lower sample rates.

The image attached displays such a setup. Please note the Horizontal menu.
