Introduction
Selecting the right oscilloscope to carry out your daily work is an important
task. As you start the selection process, you probably will compare the
specifications and features of various oscilloscopes. The first few things
that you will need to look into are the bandwidth range of the oscilloscope,
the sampling rate speed, the number of channels supported, and of course,
the price as well as the accessories that is bundled along. However, a
specification that you should not overlook is the memory depth of the
oscilloscope.
In this application note, you will discover how a deep memory provides
numerous advantages to benefit you in your measurement. Towards the
end of this document, you will also learn how to use the bundled software
that comes with every purchase of the Agilent U270xA — the Agilent
Measurement Manager (AMM) — to transfer data points captured in the
U270xA oscilloscope memory into your computer and to make a conversion
program of your choice to translate the data points into actual amplitude
values for post processing and analysis.
