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 […]
Mixed-signal Oscilloscope
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 […]
Mixed Signal Oscilloscope Explained
An MSO (mixed signal oscilloscope) is a hybrid test device that seamlessly combines some of the measurement capabilities found in a logic analyzer with the measurement capabilities found in a DSO (digital storage oscilloscope), such as trigger holdoff, autoscale, probe/channel de-skew and infinitepersistence on digital and analog channels — in one compact instrument. An MSO […]
