A look at sampling and real-time oscilloscopes
It is critical for oscilloscope users to choose the oscilloscope that will meet all of their application needs. Oscilloscopes are grouped into two main types — the equivalent-time (ET) oscilloscopes and the real-time (RT) oscilloscopes. For every type of oscilloscope there are various specifications that users need to consider, and one of which is bandwidth. […]
Tips to achieve better oscilloscope measurements
Most engineers always have so much to do but not enough time to do them. Thus, they wanted an oscilloscope that will help them reduce the time spent on researching how to make a measurement, and spend more of it in troubleshooting. Although some high-performance oscilloscopes make it easier for engineers to accomplish simple tasks, […]

Oscilloscope: A Power Measurement Tool
Power supply refers to a subsystem, component or system that transforms electrical power from a particular form to another, usually converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) power. It has to be noted that the proper operation of electronic equipment, which range from personal computers to industrial machinery and military equipment, relies on the […]
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- […]
