A method for analyzing a measured signal is described wherein at least a first segment and a second segment of said measured signal are acquired by a measurement device. At least said first segment and said second segment are stored in an acquisition memory of said measurement device. A search criterion is applied on at least said first segment and said second segment. At least a first timing event corresponding to said search criterion is stored into a memory, said first timing event being found in at least one of said segments. Further, an oscilloscope is described.
