Tap the
Segmented
softkey; set
500
as the number of segments to capture.
31
Tap the
Segmented
softkey to begin a Segmented Memory acquisition.
32
Tap the
Current Segment
softkey; then turn the Entry knob to review all 500
captured segments.
33
Set the
Current Segment
to
500
and note the time-tag of the last captured
segment.
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 this
signal that has a rise time violation for a total acquisition time of nearly 100 ms.
