Segmented Memory Acquisition The advanced segmented memory utility allows the scope memory to be divided into different segments. Each time the scope is triggered, it only acquires data for one segment of memory at a time. This allows you to optimize the scope memory to only perform signal acquisition during important signal events.
Page 86
Segmented memory acquisition example: Segment Segment Segment Segment Segment Segment As shown above, 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.
Segments Display Progress Indicator Run/Stop Indicator Progress Indicator Indicates the number of segments that have to been captured relative to the set number of segments. Stop: The segments have finished Run/Stop Indicator acquiring or have been stopped. Run: The scope is ready to acquire segments.
Set the Number of Segments Before the Segment function can be used, set the Note trigger settings as appropriate for the signal you wish to use. The number of segments that can be used depends wholly on the record length. See page 81 to set the record length.
Run Segmented Memory Before the Segmented Memory function can be Background used, set the trigger settings as appropriate for the signal you wish to use. See page 143 for configuring the trigger settings. 1. Toggle Segments On from the bottom menu. Run Segments ...

Page 93
This function will bin the Statistics measurement results of a single automatic measurement into a user-defined number of bins. This allows you to easily view statistics for a large number of segments. For example, the statistics function will display the number of results for each bin and the measurement range of each bin for the selected automatic measurement.

configuration is also flexible enough to decode the many proprietary protocols based on RS-232. Basic RS-232 protocol uses single-ended data Background transmissions. The signal voltage levels can be high (±15V) and employ active low signaling. High speed variants of RS-232, such as RS-422 and RS-485 use differential signaling and commonly employ low voltage differential signals with active high signaling.
