18 years ago1) The sample rate is determined by the clock you select. Whatever frequency that clock runs at will be your sample rate. It has nothing to dowith the depth of samples.
2) This goes back to# 1. The speed of capture is the speed of the sample clock. The fact that signal tap continuously samples tells you that the sample storage is always active, and the trigger simply stops the sample and uploads to your computer a snapshot of the sample buffer controlled by your trigger. 3) The acquisiton clock controls the sample rate going into the buffers. Comming out of the buffers to your computer for display is JTAG on a different and unrelated clock domain. If your sample clock is not too fast for signal tap, you will be fine getting a clean sample.
