Selecting Your Next Oscilloscope: Why Deep Memory Matters

Oscilloscope users consistently rate bandwidth, sample rate and memory depth as the three most important specifications. This application note will focus on oscilloscope selection considerations associated with acquisition memory. Selecting an oscilloscope with deep memory can save a significant amount of time during troubleshooting and debugging. It is helpful to assess the goodness and quality of oscilloscope memory depth, versus just looking at a single figure. Understanding memory depth attributes and benefits ensures that the selected oscilloscope matches the desired needs and applications.

This document describes how oscilloscope acquisition memory is defined, about the insight into the relationship between memory and other oscilloscope parameters and examples where deep memory provides value.
