Oscilloscope’s horizontal-axis measurement fundamentals
Horizontal-axis measurements of an oscilloscope consist of analyzing the applied signal’s horizontal time axis and include measurements such as Rise Time, Frequency and Period. Although the result is usually expressed in time, it can also be in radians, ratio or in Hertz. The resolution of the horizontal-axis is restricted by the onboard clock’s sample rate, […]

The trigger function of an oscilloscope
An oscilloscope’s trigger function is important to achieve clear signal characterization, as it synchronizes the horizontal sweep of the oscilloscope to the proper point of the signal. The trigger control enables users to stabilize repetitive waveforms as well as capture single-shot waveforms. By repeatedly displaying similar portion of the input signal, the trigger makes repetitive […]
