Different types of oscilloscopes
Analog oscilloscopes, which employ cathoderay tubes to display a waveform, were the first oscilloscopes that were used by engineers. The screen’s photoluminescent phosphor illuminates every time an electron hits it. A representation of signal is displayed as successive bits of phosphor light up, while a trigger makes the displayed waveform appear stable. Upon completing an […]
