Deep Acquisition Memory Deep acquisition memory maintains fast DSO sample rates, even on slow timebase settings. The Link Model 2102 contains deep 32k-point per channel data buffers on each channel to record long data streams. In other words, the 2102 can accurately capture a 1 kHz signal containing up to 50 MHz frequency components, or a 60 Hz signal with 1 MHz glitches riding on top. The display shows the entire recorded waveforms. The locked all-channel zoom keeps all the analog waveforms synchronized.
More sample rates are available.
The deep memory allows analysis of jitter from the beginning of the record to the end. The DSO-2102M also delivers high accuracy spectrum analysis. A binary FFT algorithm is used to break the input signal down into its spectral components. Unlike swept spectrum analyzers which require a stable repetitive signal due to filter settling time, the 2102's can also analyze transient event spectra. The user can select both the DSO-2102M spectrum analyzer frequency range and spectral resolution by choosing the sample rate and the number of bins.
