Oscilloscope Familiarization Labs
Segmented Memory acquisition optimizes oscilloscope acquisition memory
by only capturing waveform data around small portions (or segments) of a
signal (a short sine wave burst in this case). The scope does not capture
unimportant signal idle- time between each burst. Segmented Memory
acquisition can also be a very useful tool for capturing multiple serial
packets of digital data, which will be demonstrated in
Bus Decoding & Triggering, Search & Navigation, and Segmented
Acquisition Labs," starting on page 53.
