Short. smile

Anywhere from 10usec (minimum) to several seconds, I think. The buffer can record 2048 samples, 34 bits wide. Each time one of the sampled signals has a state transition, it will cause one of the 2048 slots to be taken up in the buffer.

Mmm.. time to correct that. The Intronix does not use sample compression at 500Mhz -- so you're limited to about 4us total capture interval at that speed.

At all other sample rates, it *does* use compression, making the effective buffer size *much* larger in practice.
