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 ...

All of today's high-speed real-time sampling oscilloscopes use various forms of digital signal processing (DSP) on digitized oscilloscope waveforms. Some engineers are concerned that filtering ...

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 ...

Powered and operated through a USB Type-C cable, Analog Discovery 3 is a 9MHz (or 30MHz) 125Msample/s 14bit oscilloscope, a logic analyser, an arbitrary waveform generator and more from Digilent.

In the process of debugging and validating both digital and RF designs, the oscilloscope Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) function and a variety of other math functions can prove valuable to designers ...

Blackmagic Design’s new UltraScope waveform monitoring brings together the features needed for editing or color correcting combined with an elegant user interface. Plugging the Ultrascope PCI Express ...

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 previously authored an article in Radio World Engineering Extra (April 18, 2012) comparing the performance of high- and low-end analog oscilloscopes to a very inexpensive digital storage ...

Sometimes a simulation might reveal a mystery peak in a waveform, but don’t necessarily let that dissuade you if the circuit is working and EMI or any other potential dangers aren’t lurking. My ...

These days, oscilloscope hacking is all about enabling features that the manufacturer baked into the hardware but locked out in the firmware. Those hacks are cool, of course, but back in the days of ...
