What does memory length affect in a digital oscilloscope?
💡 Hint: Think about how measurements are transformed in DSOs.
True or False: A longer time base always results in a higher sample rate.
💡 Hint: Relate this to how time representation affects sampling.

Push your limits with advanced challenges
A digital oscilloscope has a memory length of 8K and the maximum sample rate is advertised as 200 MS/s. Calculate how long a single-shot measurement can record if you utilize the entire memory length at a time base of 1 ms/div.
💡 Hint: Be sure to convert appropriately between units to maintain consistency.
You have two digital storage oscilloscopes: one with 1K memory and another with 4K memory. Both are set to time bases of 5 ms/div. Compare their effective sample rates and discuss implications for signal recording.
💡 Hint: Use the sample rate formula to work out the numbers.
