Typical measurement applications of Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes
Aside from capturing digital and analog signals on mixed signal devices, the primary measurement application of mixed-signal oscilloscopes (MSO) involve verifying and debugging microcontrollers (MCU)/digital signal processors (DSP)-based mixed-signal with data buses and embedded address. Generally, today’s MSOs offer 16 channels of digital acquisition, leading to the mistaken assumption by engineers that MSOs are limited […]
