ACQUISITION

MEMORY_SIZE, MSIZ

Command/Query

DESCRIPTION

On most models where this command/query is available,
MEMORY_SIZE

allows selection of the maximum memory length

used for acquisition. See the specifications in the Operator’s Manual.

:

: Reduce the number of data points for faster throughput.

The MEMORY_SIZE? query returns the current maximum
memory length used to capture waveforms.

COMMAND SYNTAX

Memory_SIZe

: = {500, 1e+3, …, 2.5e+6, 5e+6, 1e+7}, for
example, in standard numeric format.
Or, alternatively:

N

:

: The oscilloscope will

adapt to the closest valid or

numerical according to

available channel memory.

= {500, 1000, 2500, 5000, 10K, 25K, 50K,
100K, 250K, 500K, 1MA, 2.5MA, 5MA, 10MA, 25MA}

However, values not absolutely identical to those listed immediately

above will be recognized by the scope as numeric data (see the table
under this heading in Chapter 1). For example, the scope will
recognize 1.0M as 1 millisample. But it will recognize 1.0MA as 1
megasample.

QUERY SYNTAX

Memory_SIZe?

RESPONSE FORMAT

Memory_SIZe

EXAMPLE

The following instruction will set the oscilloscope to acquire at most
10,000 data samples per single-shot or RIS acquisition:

CMD$=“MSIZ 10K”: CALL IBWRT(SCOPE%,CMD$)

or CMD$=“MSIZ 10e+3”: CALL IBWRT(SCOPE%,CMD$)
