A key feature of scopes like Agilent's 6000 series is the rate at which waveforms are updated on screen and in memory. Often overlooked, waveform update rate can have a huge impact on how responsive a ...

Real-time scopes with greater bandwidth and deeper memory, though necessary, are becoming insufficient because waveform inspection often fails to reveal important information. Although engineers can ...

How well does the waveform displayed on your scope represent the actual input signal? This is the $64,000 question for scope designers and buyers. The input attenuator, preamplifier, and ADC typically ...

Today's DSOs continue to display waveforms although this function has been complemented by so many others that viewing signal characteristics is only one reason to use a scope. Modern DSOs serve in ...

Tektronix believes it has effectively eliminated the trade-offs in sample rate, record length and waveform capture rate typically found when using digital oscilloscopes in analogue-like mode for true ...

Inexpensive 8-bit microcontrollers are replacing 4-bit chips in thousands of consumer, industrial, automotive, and communications products. The in-crease in these mixed-signal (analog/digital) ...

The other day, I received a request for information on digital oscilloscope fundamentals. A very nice gentleman, Ed, had just purchased his first digital scope and was looking for help in learning its ...

A DIY wall-mounted sound visualizer plots ambient audio as a smooth waveform on an RGB LED matrix, combining a Pico-class ...
