It is as Mark_O says, just a matter of it being easier to get a photo, preview it and qualify it, and then transmit it to the computer. I actually downsize the image a bit on the PC before uploading but if I am being less than green on my use of resources I guess I could downsize more. (Mostly just trying to preserve image quality to show the somewhat small text and graphics on the small screen.) I don't notice much/any hit on speed (I have plenty of bandwidth on this end). I guess even when bandwidth and storage are marching toward nearly free that 10x would be a useful improvement to attain. No promises, but I'll look into it.
I wouldn't worry about it. If it's convenient for you, it works for us. I've appreciated seeing your test screens in detail, so I wouldn't bother trying to shrink or compress things more. I think that Evan was just trying to suggest something you may not be aware of yet .
What I could use is a ton of help with is figuring out the Record functionality. Any 1000Z basic Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 type suggestions for Record and Playback would be great. Thanks!
It's not as difficult as it might appear at first. Let's say you had some waveform or event you were already capturing, so your triggers were already set. After you enter Record mode, you get to decide how much info to capture on each trigger, and how many such bursts (frames) to capture. Naturally the two interact, and are related inversely. If you want more frames, then you get less duration, or slower samples. You can also specify an extra delay, essentially a Holdoff, between frames... if you need to expand your capture time interval longer. This "ignores" a chunk of time between each frame, thus not letting you observe every occurrence, but capture for longer times (potentially hours, days, etc.).
I can't say much more because I can't explore the Menu options myself, and the User "Manual" has NO screen shots of Menu options at all (and really poor explanations of what they do document... they jumble lots of record and play topics all together). But hey! Maybe they do provide the Time Tag option, but just didn't bother to document it in the 1000Z manual, as they did on the rest of the series.
So, anything anyone thinks would be good to explore with the options sooner than later (like today/tomorrow/soon), I'm definitely open to any suggestions ASAP. For example, the Record/Playback function I think is an option. Likewise the Deep Memory is an option.
...
Not so sure yet (at least for my uses) how much I would miss or want the deep memory but I'm open to finding a reason for having it. ... But if possible I'd like to figure out the value of Deep Memory and Record Playback as my next areas to explore over the weekend. Thanks
Deep Memory is a bit of a misnomer, IMO. Here it's really Deep(er) Memory. You already get 12M samples which can be split to 6M or 3M per channel. That's pretty huge to start with! The expanded Memory option simply doubles all those numbers. So for a similar situation, you could sample twice as fast (more time rez), or for twice as long (more time visible).
