Understanding Oscilloscopes
The oscilloscope is one of the most indispensable equipment in an engineer’s lab. Thus, it is important for users to have a working knowledge of its functions, principles and parts. A digital storage oscilloscope works by sending a signal to the vertical amplifier through the probe. The signal is then digitized by the analog-to-digital converter […]

With 16 digital channels, four analog channels and one RF channels, the oscilloscope […]
Selecting the best active and passive oscilloscope probes
To achieve reliable oscilloscope measurements, users should first determine the proper probe for their application. There are two main categories of oscilloscope probes — passive and active probes. Passive probes do not need external probe power, and can be grouped into two major types — low-impedance resistor-divider probes and high-impedance-input probes. Shipped with most mid- […]
