5.3 Recording limits for Acqiris digitizers

The 89600 VSA software allows the acquisition of long records to be captured. Analysis is done as a post-processing operation. This feature is called Recording. Recordings can be much longer than time records in live measurements.

Prior to taking a recording, live test measurements of Main Time length are usually made at the desired span. Then, when the recording is made, the analyzer no longer uses Main Time Length but, instead, uses Recording Length to determine length of the acquired record.

When making an 89600 VSA recording the maximum recording length is determined by the digitizer sample rate and memory depth. When in user rate the maximum record- ing lengths will increase as the sample rate decreases. The recording length increase is directly proportional to the sample rate decrease or the memory depth increase. The following table indicates the maximum recording length at full rate for each supported digitizer.
