Abstract
Method of, and apparatus for, providing automatic detection of potential information loss due to undersampling and automatic detection of potential storage waste due to oversampling based on automatic determination of an analog signal's Nyquist rate. The invention acquires an analog signal, determines a maximum frequency of the analog signal and a corresponding Nyquist rate, and allows a user to select a sampling rate based on either the automatically determined Nyquist sampling rate, a user specified sampling rate, a sampling rate determined by a user specified bandwidth, or a sampling rate determined by user specified available space. The invention also informs a user when a loss of information may occur due to a sampling rate being less than the Nyquist rate. The invention also informs a user when a waste of storage may occur due to a sampling rate being greater than the Nyquist rate.
