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 ...

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 ...

A scope tends to have a short re-arm time, which means that almost immediately after one waveform has been displayed you can capture and display another. Many digitizers also have short re-arm times, ...

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 ...

TVBEurope and Tektronix are joining forces to host a free webinar on 7th December. The live webinar, titled Setting scope waveform levels in HDR, will take place at 3pm GMT. With the expert knowledge ...

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 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 ...

As an engineer, be it design or verification, more than half of our time is spent in debugging and analysis. One of the most common and basic approach to that is using the waveform that shows the ...
