H Sample mode displays an actively acquiring waveform on-screen.
(Note that there is noise present on the peaks of the square wave.)
H Peak Detect mode (TDS 7XXA only) displays an actively acquiring
waveform on-screen with the noise present in Sample mode “peak
detected.”
H Hi Res mode (TDS 7XXA only) displays an actively acquiring
waveform on-screen with the noise that was present in Sample mode
reduced.
H Envelope mode displays an actively acquiring waveform on-screen
with the noise displayed.
