Oscilloscope waveforms show real world electronic signals. How well the scope displays those waveforms determines its performance. Assuming two scopes have adequate base specifications – like ...

This application note describes methods for testing components using an oscilloscope and waveform generator. We will show you how to test capacitors, inductors, diodes, bi-polar transistors, output ...

First, make sure your oscilloscope includes all instance measurements. That means if you measure the width of a waveform, the oscilloscope will measure every cycle of the waveform that appears on the ...

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. An oscilloscope uses a two-axis graph to give a visual representation of a waveform over time, ...

The movement from analog to digital oscilloscopes has opened up a new world of measurement opportunities for engineers. By using an ADC paired with a plotter instead of a sweep generator paired with a ...

Differences between digital and analog triggering. Advantages of digital triggering. How to tell what type of triggering is used by an oscilloscope. An oscilloscope’s trigger function, which ...
