USB oscilloscopes capture analog and digital signals. Through software, engineers can analyze protocols and logic signals. By adding a D/A converter, a USB oscilloscope can also become a waveform generator. A USB oscilloscope consists of the signal capture and conditioning electronics package, a personal computer (PC) that can be a laptop or tablet unit, or […]

What’s a USB oscilloscope?
By connecting to a computer, a USB oscilloscope lets engineers offload screens and compute-intensive functions to the host, which reduces needed bench space and brings portability. Oscilloscopes are sometimes grouped into three types, benchtop, portable, and USB. The first two types are self-contained, but USB oscilloscopes are not. They consist of the electronics that capture […]
PC-based scopes sport two 12-bit, 2.5 TSa/sec equivalent-time sampling channels
The PicoScope two-channel 9402 Sampler-Extended Real-time Oscilloscope (SXRTO) series comesin two models: the 9402-05 and the 9402-16 with 5-GHz and 16-GHz bandwidth respectively. They complement the already available four-channel models at a lower price point. Designed to analyze repetitive or clock-derived signals, they feature two high-resolution 12-bit channels driven by the equivalent-time sampling (ETS) of […]
