High Resolution Acquisition Mode
In High Resolution mode, at slower time/div settings when decimation 
would normally occur, extra samples are averaged in order to reduce 
random noise, produce a smoother trace on the screen, and effectively 
increase vertical resolution.
High Resolution mode averages sequential sample points within the same 
acquisition. An extra bit of vertical resolution is produced for every factor 
of 4 averages. The number of extra bits of vertical resolution is dependent 
on the oscilloscope's time per division setting (sweep speed) and the 
displayed sample rate.
The slower the time/div setting, the greater the number of samples that 
are averaged together for each display point.
High Resolution mode can be used on both single- shot and repetitive 
signals and it does not slow waveform update because the computation is 
done in the MegaZoom custom ASIC. High Resolution mode limits the 
oscilloscope's real-time bandwidth because it effectively acts like a 
low- pass filter.
Acquiring to Segmented Memory
You can purchase the oscilloscope with the segmented memory option 
factory- installed (Option SGM) or you can install a license to enable it 
(order model number DSOX2SGM "Segmented Memory").
