29 Press the [Acquire] front panel key.
30 Press the Segmented softkey; then turn the Entry knob to select 500 as
the number of segments to capture.
31 Press the Segmented softkey to begin a Segmented Memory acquisition.
32 Press the Current Segment softkey; then turn the Entry knob to review all
500 captured segments.
33 Set the Current Segment to 500 and note the time-tag of the last captured
segment.
Segmented Memory optimizes oscilloscope acquisition memory by only
capturing important segments of a waveform based on the trigger
condition and timebase setting. In this example, we have selectively
captured 500 occurrences of positive and negative runts of any width for a
total acquisition time of more than 20 ms as shown in Figure 40.
