As shown below, the memory is divided into segments to increase
the number of events that can be effectively captured with the same
acquisition memory. Also notice that the scope doesn’t need to
rearm the trigger between each segment, this makes the segmented
memory function especially useful for high speed signals. The time
between each segment is also recorded so that accurate signal
timing can also be measured.
The segmented memory function also supports automatic
measurements for each segment or statistics for all the captured
segments.
The Advanced Segment Memory Utility is applicable for both
analog and digital channels.
