To Specify Memory Depth; To Select Sampling Mode - Teledyne T3DSO2000 Series User Manual

To Specify Memory Depth

Memory depth refers to the number of waveform points that the oscilloscope can store in a
single trigger acquisition and it reflects the storage ability of the sample memory. The
T3DSO2000 provides up to 140 Mpts memory depth.
Press the Acquire button on the front panel; press the Mem Depth softkey and then turn
the Universal Knob to select the desired value and push the knob to confirm. Pressing
the Mem Depth softkey continually can also select the desired value.
The actual memory depth is displayed in the information area at the upper-right corner of
the screen.
Since the oscilloscope has one acquisition memory per two channels, when only one
channel is on (per two channels), the maximal memory depth is up to 140Mpts.
The relation of memory depth, sample rate and waveform length fulfills the equation
below:
Memory depth = sample rate (Sa/s) × waveform length (s/div × div)

To Select Sampling Mode

The T3DSO2000 only supports real-time sampling. In this mode, the oscilloscope samples
and displays waveform within a trigger event. The maximum real-time sample rate of the
T3DSO2000 is 2GSa/s.
Press the RUN/STOP button to stop the acquisition, the oscilloscope will hold the last
display. At this point, you can still use the vertical control and horizontal control to explore
the waveform.
