I want to know why having higher sampling rate, I see a completely different signal.
I have attached the front panel graphs of the signals acquired by the same sensor at two different sampling rates which are:
250KS/s Continuous acquisition; 5000 Samples per loop
500KS/s Continuous acquisition; 5000 Samples per loop
Of course one with the lower sampling rate is how it should be, as can be confirmed by looking through an Oscilloscope.
Please explain.

Can you post the images as pngs, not RTF files?

What is the device you are using for the data acquisition?
What should the signal look like?

The signal should look like how it looks for 250KS/s image. I would like to understand why would it look so different if I use 500KS/s.I am using two channels so I think I am ok to use upto 0.5MS/s with this device.

Do you have all the unused channel inputs tied to ground? What is the source impedance of the signal source? I am considering the possibility of ghosting.
Can you try some other sampling rates which are just slightly different, such as 255 kHz or 497 kHz?
