If the signals that you need to capture have relatively long idle times between
low-duty-cycle pulses or bursts of signal activity, then the segmented memory
option for Agilent's InfiniiVision Series oscilloscopes can optimize your scope's
acquisition memory, allowing you to capture more selective signal details with
less memory. With segmented memory, the scope's acquisition memory (up to 8
M points) is divided into multiple smaller memory segments. This enables your
scope to capture up to 2000 successive single-shot waveforms with a very fast
re-arm time — without missing any important signal information.
After a segmented memory acquisition is performed, you can easily view all
captured waveforms overlaid in an infinite-persistence display and quickly
scroll through each individual waveform segment. And with a minimum 250 picosecond
time-tagging resolution, you will know the precise time between each captured
waveform segment. Common applications for this type of oscilloscope acquisition
include high-energy physics measurements, laser pulse measurements, radar burst
measurements, and packetized serial bus measurements.
Even in applications that don't actually require segmented memory acquisition
to optimize memory, using segmented memory acquisition on Agilent's InfiniiVision
oscilloscopes can enhance post-analysis navigation through low-duty-cycle signals,
burst signals, and serially packetized signals. And Agilent's InfiniiVision
Series oscilloscopes are the only scopes in the industry that not only provide
segmented memory acquisitions simultaneously on all analog channels (up to
four analog channels) and logic channels (up to 16 digital channels) of acquisition,
but they also are the only scopes that provide hardware-based serial decoding
on packetized serial data for each captured waveform segment.
The N5454A segmented memory option is compatible with all Agilent InfiniiVision
Series oscilloscopes (5000, 6000, and 7000 Series scopes). This option is available
as a factory-installed option if ordered as Option- SGM along with a specific
oscilloscope model, or existing InfiniiVision Series oscilloscope users can
order this option as an after-purchase product upgrade (N5454A).
