MegaZoom deep memory

With 4 MB to 8 MB of MegaZoom deep memory, 54600-Series scopes give you deep-memory capture without the sluggish response and complex operation you’ve had to tolerate with other deep-memory scopes. And unlike the alternatives, MegaZoom deep memory is not a special mode. That means it’s always available to help you find details buried in complex signals, discover anomalies, correlate high-speed digital control signals with slower analog signals and capture infrequent events.

The dilemma of having to trigger twice to get a long time capture or to see detailed resolution is solved with MegaZoom deep memory as you can have both with a single measurement. Deep memory means that the sample rate stays high even when captur- ing long time periods.

The 54600-Series scopes are the only deep-memory scopes that respond instantly to your control inputs with a fast, responsive display. Compare them to other scopes in this price range – only the 54600-Series provides deep memory at an affordable price.

Figure 3. The bright dot on the high-definition display is a distortion in 1 of the 1,500 pulses captured in this single-shot measurement. Simply dial in for a closer look using MegaZoom pan and zoom, and you’ll see the details that would have escaped other scopes, such as the distortion in this square wave. This deep memory and display system is not a special mode; it is available on every measurement pass at full speed.
