Measurement Update Performance Issues

Some measurement scenarios require the use of large amounts of RAM memory or a high volume of data transfer. In such cases, you might experience measurement update performance issues if your PC runs out of memory or processing power, or with data transfer over a low-bandwidth interface.

This topic discusses the symptoms of measurement update performance issues and how to manage them for best results.

Symptoms

Possible Problems and Solutions

The length and number of channels of data acquisition required to satisfy the running measurement(s) have a significant impact on measurement performance (speed).

The number of measurements

The number of traces with mapped data, and visibility of traces with mapped data

The computer running the VSA
