Why does deep memory matter?
See more time
Seeing more time is the most easily
understood use of deep memory. The
more samples you acquire, the more
time you can see at a particular sample
rate.
Long capture times give you better
visibility into cause-effect relationships
in your design, which greatly simplifies
root-cause debugging. It also allows
you to capture start-up events (like
the start-up sequence in Figure 1) in a
single acquisition.
You don’t have to stitch together
multiple acquisitions or set precise
triggering conditions. Spend less
time finding events, and more time
analyzing them.
See more details
The relationship between memory
depth and acquisition rate isn’t as
obvious. All scopes have a “banner”
maximum sample rate specification,
but many can only sustain these rates
at a few timebase settings.
In the case of an oscilloscope with a
5 GSa/s acquisition rate and 10-Kpts
of memory (Figure 2), those 10,000
points can only fill 2 µs of time. Since
scopes have 10 time divisions, the
sample rate drops at any time/div
setting below 200 ns/div.
As a result, if you look at “slow/fast”
events like a modulated signal, you
run the risk of aliasing your signal. Or
you may simply miss out on important
signal details when you zoom in on it.
Deep memory oscilloscopes let you
sustain a high sample rate over longer
periods of time.
Always fast, always on

MegaZoom III is the third generation of
the fast and deep memory architecture
that Agilent introduced in 1996. It’s
not a special mode, unlike other
deep-memory oscilloscopes. You have
access to your MegaZoom memory
at all times. And the display will
respond instantly to your commands
as you scale the +/div setting or pan
and zoom in the Delayed (or “zoom”)
window.

Why does a fast update rate matter?
If the human eye has trouble
discerning above 30-50 frames per
second, is there really a difference
between 3,600 and 100,000
waveforms per second? If you know
what you’re looking for, the answer
is probably “no.” However, if you are
hunting for unknown signal anomalies
or characterizing jitter, the answer
is “yes.”
Acquisition time Dead time Dead time
Figure 3. Reducing the dead time between
acquisitions …
Acquisition time
If you know that there is a glitch in
your system, it’s easy to capture it
using a pulse-width trigger. However,
if you are just browsing through your
design, your chances of finding a glitch
increase as the oscilloscope’s update
rate increases. If a glitch occurs during
the "dead time" between samples,
you miss it (Figure 3). With MegaZoom
III technology, the dead time is much
smaller (Figure 5). A scope with a
slower update rate will capture the
glitch eventually (if it recurs), but most
engineers and technicians don’t have
the time or patience to wait for their
tools to catch up.
If you are characterizing signal jitter,
a fast update rate gives you accurate
results sooner. And when the fast
update rate is combined with the 5000
Series’ XGA high-definition display
(1024 x 768, 256 intensity levels),
subtle differences in these acquisitions
become obvious.
And like all other aspects of
MegaZoom III technology, this update
rate is delivered as a default real-time
acquisition mode. It’s always fast,
always on.

RS-232/UART View the information sent over a RS-232 serial bus. Display real-time time-aligned decode of transmit
and receive lines. The application also enables triggering on RS-232/UART conditions.
AutoScale Finds and displays all active channels, sets edge trigger mode on highest-numbered channel, sets
vertical sensitivity on channels, time base to display ~1.8 periods. Requires minimum voltage >
10 mVpp, 0.5% duty cycle and minimum frequency > 50 Hz.
