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 result in significant troubleshooting and debug time-saving.

It's helpful to assess the goodness and quality of oscilloscope memory depth, versus just looking at a single figure. Understanding memory depth attributes and benefits ensure the selection of a specific oscilloscope that matches the desired needs and applications.
