3. Choose a filter from the list on the Acquisitions tab.
4. If the acquired signal contains high-frequency noise that may influence the measurement, choose a filter on the Filter tab. Refer to Filtering the Signal for more information.
5. For analog devices only: Select the acquisition sample rate from the list.
6. (Optional) Choose the number of lines or frames to acquire in the Choose Lines, Start line, End Line, and Frames controls. The default is to acquire one frame.
