Digital Storage Oscilloscope
Comparing analog and digital oscilloscope architectures
The first oscilloscope was derived from an apparatus involving a moving pen that recorded a change in voltage on a turning drum or paper strip. The first scope was a quite simple piece of equipment. Its heart was the cathode ray tube (CRT) equipped with vertical and horizontal deflection plates that caused an electron beam […]

H-P, Agilent, Keysight: New name, same reputation
Those of us who have been around electronic instrumentation for a while can remember the days when Hewlett-Packard instruments were considered the cream of the crop. Where I worked, we always tried to get to the lab early on the days we had tests to run so we could get our hands on the highly […]

With 25 MHz bandwidth, the GAO A0110009 offers a memory depth of four k in every channel and features various mathematical […]
Digitizing Oscilloscopes
One of the important signal integrity measurement solutions is the digitizing oscilloscope. Digitizing oscilloscopes have different forms — the sampling oscilloscope, the digital phosphor oscilloscope (DPO) and the digital storage oscilloscope (DSO). Ideally suited for low-repetition signals with narrow pulse widths or fast edges, the DSO can easily capture transients and one-time events, and is […]
