4.3 Acquiring Waveforms Using the Utility Functions

Chapter 4 Measurement Configuration Settings
Waveforms can be recorded into individual blocks by dividing memory space into
multiple blocks. You can record waveforms beginning at any block (Start Block),
choose which blocks to display (Display Block), or display multiple overlaid
blocks (Reference Block).
The maximum number of blocks for memory division depends on the installed
memory board and recording length (up to 4096 divisions).
In addition, triggered waveform data can be acquired continuously and recorded
sequentially in specified blocks (at the Start Block, for the specified Used
Blocks). Dead time while displaying or printing (during which triggers are
ignored) can be minimized.
Even if the Memory Division function is not used, up to 16 blocks of data
(depending on the specified recording length) can be saved to each block, so
that previously recorded data can be selected for display on the Waveform
Screen.
See "8.11 Viewing Past Waveforms" (⇒ p. 212)
