It’s always fun to do something out of the ordinary with an instrument like an oscilloscope. I recently had an opportunity to use some oscilloscope black magic for a project. I obtained several ASCII ...

Even the simplest digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) or digitizer includes some form of waveform mathematics. Waveform math extends the usefulness of these data acquisition-based instruments. The ...

We’re sorry to say that back in May we missed the passing of Walter LeCroy, the man whose name appeared on some of the most desirable and higher-spec oscilloscopes ...

I own two analog scopes: a B+K Precision 100 MHz dual trace portable that I bought back in the 1980s and a Tektronix analog storage tube mainframe scope with high-performance plug-ins acquired at an ...

The oscilloscope has been a primary tool for electronic design engineers since it was invented many years ago. The first decades of oscilloscopes were analog in nature. Their fundamental technology ...

Figure 1: The silicon-based ultrafast optical oscilloscope. The pump-pulse bandwidth and the length of the dispersive path determine the record length and resolution of the oscilloscope. The ...

The oscilloscope is probably the most versatile piece of test equipment you can have on your electronics bench, offering a multitude of possibilities for measuring timing, frequency and voltage as ...

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, ...
