Knowledge Base DS2000 Series

How long will the DS2000A Capture a Signal

To determine how long an oscilloscope will capture a signal when it is operated in single trigger mode is determined by taking the instrument's memory depth and dividing it by the instrument's sample rate.  The memory depth can be changed within the instrument's acquire menu and then the sample rate can be changed by adjusting the horizontal scaling.  The table below lists the different memory d...
