Memory depth represents an oscilloscope's capability to continuously acquire and store sampling points at the highest real-time sampling rate. Improving the memory depth is conducive to improving the system's capability to analyze waveform details, but it will slow down the response time of the system. This paper proposes a high-speed deep memory data acquisition system with a real-time sampling rate of up to 10 GSPS and a memory depth up to 1 Gpts based on ultra-high-speed parallel sampling, waveform quick positioning and zooming, and waveform 3D mapping and display. This study focuses on the use of waveform quick positioning and zooming techniques under deep memory conditions to solve the slow response time and low waveform capture rate that are the result of improving the memory depth. This paper gives the experimental results for real-time signal data acquisition. The results show that adopting waveform quick positioning and zooming techniques achieved the following aims: significantly improved system response time, rapid positioning and display waveform details available to users, fast waveform capture rate and improved oscilloscope performance.
