3.18.6 Sampling Memory Usage Optimization

The Preferences dialog has a Sampling Memory Usage Optimization option. This Memory
Assignment (MA) feature optimizes sampling memory utilization.

If the Sampling Memory Usage Optimization Option is Checked

The system tries to use empty space in all memory banks to prevent any memory bank
from filling completely. Each physical link is not necessarily assigned to a specific memory
bank. The system can capture more sample data than if the MA option is unchecked, and
sample file size is closer to the user‐defined Sampling Memory Size.
Memory Assignment efficiency varies with Port Configuration and Trigger Position:

FPGA: The Memory Assignment feature works for a pair of ports connected to
