Oscilloscope Basics Primer Abstract: The oscilloscope is arguably one of the most useful general purpose tools ever created for use by electronic engineers. Since its invention more than 100 years …

Learning how to use an oscilloscope means being introduced to an entire lexicon of terms. On this page we'll introduce some of the important o-scope buzzwords you should be familiar with before turning …

The oscilloscope is basically a graph-displaying device - it draws a graph of an electrical signal. In most applications the graph shows how signals change over time: the vertical (Y) axis represents voltage …

What is an Oscilloscope? How much sample rate do you need?

Once you’ve learned the basic oscilloscope controls, here are a few other things that you should know about. On older analog scopes, these are mostly controlled by a dedicated switch for each function.

This oscilloscope is capable of measuring signals of up to an order of magnitude faster than any other oscilloscope. It can achieve bandwidth and high-speed timing ten times higher than other …

Controls how voltages are translated to vertical positions on screen. Controls how fast beam is swept from left to right. Creates a stable waveform on the screen. CH1 and CH2 probe inputs (12, 16) at …
