Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi All,
Just wondering about something regarding these scopes.
I would have thought if I set the horizontal rate to something like 10 Sec/Division I'd get a basic form of voltage Vs time to see if any occasional dips are occurring on a power rail.
Doesn't seem to be the case.
Is it my wrong interpretation of what should possible, or is this a limitation of the device & it's software.
What was in my mind was that at 200 Sec/Div I'd be able to see activity over an hour.
But even if I try say 10 Sec/Div, I don't get the trace I'd expect.
.
I would have expected a full screen trace after 100 seconds in the example above.
I know these aren't the greatest devices out there, but it's a cost/priorities thing.
