Memory Depth and Sample Rate
The number of points of oscilloscope memory is fixed (except when divided
between channel pairs), and there is a maximum sample rate associated with
oscilloscope’s analog-to-digital converter; however, the actual sample rate is
determined by the time of the acquisition (which is set according to the
oscilloscope’s horizontal time/div scale).
sample rate = number of samples / time of acquisition
For example, when storing 10 us of data in 10,000 points of memory, the actual
sample rate is 1 GSa/s.
Likewise, when storing 1 s of data in 10,000 points of memory, the actual sample
rate is 10 kSa/s.
The actual sample rate, is displayed in the horizontal Horizontal menu (see
The oscilloscope achieves the actual sample rate by throwing away (decimating)
unneeded samples.
