ACQUISITION
MEMORY_SIZE, MSIZ
Command/Query
DESCRIPTION On most models where this command/query is available,
MEMORY_SIZE allows selection of the maximum memory length
used for acquisition. See the specifications in the Operator’s Manual.

: Reduce the number of data points for faster throughput.
The MEMORY_SIZE? query returns the current maximum
memory length used to capture waveforms.
COMMAND SYNTAX
Memory_SIZe <size>
<size> : = {500, 1e+3, …, 2.5e+6, 5e+6, 1e+7}, for
example, in standard numeric format.
Or, alternatively:

:
: The oscilloscope will
adapt to the closest valid <size> or
numerical <value> according to
available channel memory.
=
{
500, 1000, 2500, 5000, 10K, 25K, 50K,
100K, 250K, 500K, 1MA, 2.5MA, 5MA, 10MA, 25MA}
However, values not absolutely identical to those listed immediately
above will be recognized by the scope as numeric data (see the table
under this heading in Chapter 1). For example, the scope will
recognize 1.0M as 1 millisample. But it will recognize 1.0MA as 1
megasample.
QUERY SYNTAX
Memory_SIZe?
RESPONSE FORMAT
Memory_SIZe <size>
EXAMPLE The following instruction will set the oscilloscope to acquire at most
10,000 data samples per single-shot or RIS acquisition:
CMD$=“MSIZ 10K”: CALL IBWRT(SCOPE%,CMD$)
or CMD$=“MSIZ 10e+3”: CALL IBWRT(SCOPE%,CMD$)
