MEMORY MANAGEMENT

Memory can be modeled as a circular buffer with N slots

After acquiring N samples: the (N+1)-th sample overwrites the 1-st the (N+2)-th sample overwrites the 2-nd

Assume that: N samples are already in memory at TO The user wants to stop acquisition after M post-trigger samples

Choice of pre/post-trigger:
M = N full post-trigger M = O full pre-trigger M > N full post-trigger (post-trigger overwriting) M < O impossible!!

EQUIVALENT TIME (ET) SAMPLING

Standard sampling (aka single-shot or real-time) is the only possible for non-repetitive signals For repetitive signals, a sub-Nyquist sampling rate can be used (ET sampling)

Exploits periodicity to avoid aliasing Synchronous ET sampling The signal period is known Sampling synchronized with trigger

Synchronous ET sampling
Asynchronous ET sampling The signal period is unknown Sampling independent from trigger Let T be the signal period and Tc the sampling period, then

P Tc = N + T Q

N, P, Q integers (P<Q)

Synchronous ET sampling
N = 1; P = 1; Q = 5

Asynchronous ET sampling

Tc,equiv. = T 5

Tc = 6 T 5
