If the instrument plots false waveforms (aliasing)

instrumentmayplotfalsewaveformsoscillatingatafrequencylowerthanthatoftheactualsignal

Asamplingintervallongerthanthecycleofthe

Toplotasignwavethatallowsyoutoobservethepeakswithoutanyaliasing,theinstrumentneeds
tosamplethewaveformataminimumof25pointspercycle.
