Oscilloscope is an instrument that is utilized to measure electrical signals. Therefore it may notice the process of the electrical signals. If it can display digital graphic demonstration of an electrical signal, so that it called digital oscilloscope. Based on the volume and weight, oscilloscope is located as laboratory bench-type and portable type for work. Handheld, PC based and USB based are all portable oscilloscopes. General, the portable ones are battery operated.

You can find digital and analog types of oscilloscope. Oscilloscope usually has several input connector. The signal which is tested was accessed to the input connector, then your input connector will measure and analyze the signal. So that oscilloscope can measure and inspect several signals at the same time.



When digital oscilloscopes testing the signal, once they identified the triggering events, the ADC converter will convert the voltage to digital information, then oscilloscope uses these details to show an electronic graphic with the waveform. This feature is different from analog oscilloscopes. General, digital oscilloscopes and analog oscilloscopes are able to use for a passing fancy measure purposes, however they have different characteristics for various specific purposes. Digital oscilloscope has improvements like waveform triggering, storage, display, measurement, waveform data analyzing and processing etc. In comparison to analog oscilloscope, digital you have higher data processing capabilities and it is simpler to be read and understood.



Digital oscilloscopes can capture the events that occur only one time. They are able to process and storage the waveform information then display on screen. They can also connect with other device or your PC for your further analysis. Most users prefer to obtain a digital one, as it really excellently applicant in very fast, user-friendly design, low repetition rate.
