Depends upon what you need.

If you want to make compliance diagrams, typically a full run can take 15min
on say a Tek6804. We found that we needed to upgrade the memory to allow a
fast acq, which shortened the time for test from 15min to about 5.

Subject: [SI-LIST] How much scope memory needed?

We are looking into purchasing a high speed scope to do signal integrity
measurements (eye diagrams) on SATA and PCI-Express signals.
At 40 GS/s how much waveform memory would be needed to get a good eye
diagram and make other useful measurements?

Options from various manufacturers range from 1M to 200M.

 

Thanks - Joel
