T3DSO2000A Manual. Page 42
Memory Depth: The maximum memory depth that can be supported. According to the
formula "acquisition time = sample points x sample interval", setting a larger memory
depth can achieve a higher sample rate for a given time base, but more samples require
more processing time, degrading the waveform update rate. With 200 Mpts memory
depth, the T3DSO2000A can still run at full sample rate (2 GSa/s) even when set to the 10
ms/div timebase.
Note: The memory depth here is the upper limit of the memory space allocated by the
oscilloscope. The actual sample points are related to the current timebase and may be
less than memory depth. The actual sample points information can be obtained in the
timebase descriptor box (see the section "Timebase and Trigger" for details).
The maximum memory depth in single-channel mode is 2 times that of the dual-channel
mode, as the following table:
Single-Channel
Mode
Single-channel mode (interleaving mode): Only one of C1/C2 is turned on, and only one
of C3/C4 is turned on.
Dual-channel mode (non-interleaving mode): Both C1/C2 are turned on, or both C3/C4
are turned on.
Interpolation
-- At small timebase settings, the number of original points on the screen
may be less than the number display pixels in the grid area, so interpolation is necessary
to display a continuous waveform. For example, at 1 ns/div timebase and 2 GSa/s
sample rate, the number of original points is 20, but the grid area includes 1000
horizontal pixels. In this case, the oscilloscope needs to interpolate the original points by
50.
