Waveform
Memory Depth
The memory depth is limited to 1 M points when
both channels are activated or 2M points when
only a single channel is activated. The signal must
be triggered /stopped to have access to the full
memory depth. Therefore when a signal is saved
the waveform will be automatically stopped if it is
not manually triggered /stopped first.
There are a number of conditions when all of the
available memory is not utilized due to a limited
number of different sample rates. This can be
caused by an un-triggered signal, or a time/div
setting that is too fast to display all the points on
screen.
Note: 2M point memory lengths are only available
for time bases slower than 10ns/div on a single
channel, and 1 M point memory lengths are only
available for time bases slower than 25ns/div on
two channels.
