In both cases, the sampling frequency of 2 Hz is simply not high enough - we need to increase this. The SPTS Pro software can only lower this. However, realizing that all the devices (mass flow controllers, pressure gauges, RF generators etc.) responsible for the parameters in the plot above are produce output measurements in real time, we can sample these parameters by some external device.

This set of parameters | [https://www.picotech.com/oscilloscope/4824/8-channel-oscilloscope Picoscope oscilloscope] with 8 analog channels that enable us sample up to 8 outputs, usually a DC voltage, at almost any sampling rate. Unlike the old oscilloscopes, the Picoscope is fully operated by a software that produces a vast amount of data and nice plots. We therefore have to decide which parameters are most important to monitor and then go through the electrical diagrams to find an appropriate place to pick up the signal. | ||
