Fig. 2-5: Normal acquisition with blind time
With Ultra Segmentation, a number of triggered acquisitions is captured very fast, with
hardly any dead time between the acquisitions. The data is processed and the waveforms
are displayed when the acquisition of the series has been completed.

Ultra Segmentation and History
The acquisition series is written in the sample memory, thus the memory size limits the
number of acquisitions in a series. This memory is the memory that is accessed by the
history, thus the history function is used to read out the contents of the sample memory.
For processing and display, the history replay is activated automatically in the back-
ground. Depending on the number of acquisitions and the current "Replay time", it may
take some time until the acquisition series is displayed.
To view the complete series, enable "Show history" to display the history functionality in
the "Ultra Segmentation" tab.
See also: chapter 4.4, "History", on page 114.
Restrictions
Ultra Segmentation and equivalent time sampling are mutually exclusive. The instrument
considers this fact and disables Ultra Segmentation when equivalent time sampling is
selected, and vice versa.
