Scope: Max Freq output for canned waveforms

[[email protected]]

Hello,

I have to look for a scope with some specifications. One of them is
that the max sample rate is 50MS/s and the max freq output for canned
waveforms is 20MHz.

Could someone tell me what is a canned waveform? and what does "freq
output" mean in a scope?

Thank you very much !!!!

Luis

canned, may mean stored (in a can?)

Some digital scopes, also contain the ability to output a stored waveform
from a section of the memory. I'd guess the model being looked at is one
of these.
