Your scope should now be triggering on just setup time violation conditions similar
. With this unique trigger condition, perhaps we can now correlate
these signals to other signals and/or activity in our system that may be producing
this timing problem.
Let’s now use the scope’s Segmented Memory mode of acquisition to capture 500
consecutive occurrences of a setup time violation. But to complete the rest of this
lab your scope must be licensed with the Segmented Memory option.

Press the
[Acquire]
front panel key.
11
Tap the
Segmented
softkey; enter
500
as the number of segments to capture.
12
Tap the
Segmented
softkey to begin a Segmented Memory acquisition.
13
Tap the
Current Segment
softkey; then turn the Entry knob to review all 500
captured segments.
14
Set the
Current Segment
to
500
and note the time-tag of the last captured
segment.
