What are the different types of oscilloscopes?

All modern oscilloscopes are digital storage oscilloscopes (DSOs) that use digital signal processing to capture and display analog signals. If the oscilloscope has the ability to observe these signals simultaneously in the digital domain, it is a mixed-signal oscilloscope (MSO). If the oscilloscope has a built-in spectrum analyzer function, it is a mixed-domain oscilloscope (MDO), although this term is less common.

What is a current probe?
February 14, 2025 527
Many people use digital multimeters to easily measure current, voltage, resistance, etc. However, there is a drawback to using a digital multimeter to measure current, namely: the circuit must be disconnected and the digital multimeter must be connected in series with the circuit under test in order to make the measurement. In this case, a current probe can be used instead of a digital multimeter to make measurements. Since the electrical connection of the circuit is no longer required, the current probe is more time-consuming...

What is the importance of waveform sequencing?
February 14, 2025 386
Waveform sequencing lets you create multiple configured waveforms that contain multiple common segments. Sorting lets you build complex, long waveforms using as little instrument memory as possible. Waveform sequencing lets you save storage capacity by replaying shorter waveforms at different locations on the signal as needed. Many tests require long waveform memory records. The required record length...

How do I test a DC power supply?
February 14, 2025 421
There are several ways to test a DC power supply, here we only introduce a few common methods. Conductivity test: You can use the multimeter's conductivity mode to accomplish this test. Touch the positive and negative terminals of the power supply with the multimeter pen. If it is on, the multimeter will beep. This test is designed to determine if the power supply is delivering power and if there are any breaks in the wiring. Voltage...

What is the difference between an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer/signal analyzer?
February 14, 2025 144
We usually use time as a frame of reference, focusing on when certain specific events will occur. This includes electrical events. Oscilloscopes allow you to view the instantaneous value of a particular electrical event (or the voltage value of some other event converted by an appropriate transducer) over time. In other words, we can use an oscilloscope to view the waveform of a signal in the time domain. Fourier theory...
