Problems solved by technology

These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Compared with the waveform playback method, the bandwidth realized by the real-time method is smaller, but the signal style can be changed in various ways; the waveform playback method can only generate the waveform existing in the memory. The local bus calls the hard disk data or calls the data of the external counting machine through the external interface, so the waveform download speed and the speed of the external interface are affected by the bandwidth and rate of the instrument's local bus
