How does an oscilloscope work?

common problems 5960

An oscilloscope uses a probe to connect to a test point in a circuit and amplify or attenuate the voltage at that point. The subsequent signal path depends on the oscilloscope, but in general, analog circuits condition the signal and analog-to-digital converters digitize it for further evaluation, processing, and analysis.

  • What is the importance of waveform sequencing?

    611

    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 does a vector network analyzer work?

    641

    A network analyzer consists of a signal source and a receiver. The receiver will detect changes in the output signal of the device (or network) and then compare it to the source signal fed into the device. To evaluate the effect of the device on current and voltage, the VNA measures the resulting amplitude and phase response. This results in transmission and reflection measurements, impedance and s-parameters, which can be used by the test engineer to...
