Segmented Memory optimizes oscilloscope acquisition memory by only
capturing important segments of a waveform based on the trigger
condition and timebase setting. In this example, we have selectively
captured 500 occurrences of positive and negative runts of any width for a
total acquisition time of more than 20 ms as shown in
Figure 40 Using the scope’s Segmented Memory acquisition to selectively capture 500
consecutive runt pulses.
