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").
When capturing multiple infrequent trigger events it is advantageous to divide the
oscilloscope's memory into segments. This lets you capture signal activity without
capturing long periods of signal inactivity.
Each segment is complete with all analog channel, digital channel (on MSO
models), and serial decode data.
When using segmented memory, use the Analyze Segments feature (see “Infinite
Persistence with Segmented Memory" on page 169) to show infinite persistence
across all acquired segments. See also “To set or clear persistence" on page 115
for details.
To acquire to
segmented
memory
1 Set up a trigger condition. (See Chapter 10, “Triggers,” starting on page 125
for details.)
2 Press the [Acquire] key in the Waveform section of the front panel.
3 Press the Segmented softkey.
4 In the Segmented Memory Menu, press the Segmented softkey to enable
segmented memory acquisitions.
5 Press the #ofSegs softkey and turn the Entry knob to select the number of
segments into which you would like to divide the oscilloscope's memory.
Memory can be divided into as few as two segments and as many as 25
segments.
