What’s the difference between a scope and a spectrum analyzer? Mainly, the spectrum analyzer uses Fast Fourier transforms to give a frequency display. Here are the basics of FTs and of FFTs.
…And here are the basics of spectrum analyzers, whose functions are often built into higher-end scopes these days. Read more.
Do you have enough memory in your sampling scope? Here’s how to tell.
And while we are on memory depth, it can be closely related to sampling rate. Read more.
