A transient of 100 ms is to be captured on a digital storage oscilloscope on full screen in the horizontal direction. If the transient is to be recorded at a sampling rate of 100 KS/s, what should the minimum size of the acqisition memory be ?
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (B) 10K
Explanation
Samples needed = sampling rate × time = 100,000 per second × 0.1 s = 10,000 samples, so the acquisition memory must hold at least 10K.
