Triggering on mixed signal oscilloscopes
In purchasing a Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO), users will have to carefully consider its triggering capabilities. MSOs with more acquisition channels offer more triggering capabilities that will enable users to zero-in on specific digital/analog I/O signal interaction. Although its triggering capabilities still cannot compare with that of high-performance logic analyzer, triggering using MSO goes far […]
