There was a time when few hobbyists had an oscilloscope and the ones you did see were old military or industrial surplus that were past their prime. Today you can buy a fancy scope for about what ...

In the process of debugging and validating both digital and RF designs, the oscilloscope Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) function and a variety of other math functions can prove valuable to designers ...

As a follow-on to the topic of dealing with noise, let’s look at the opposite end of the spectrum (literally). In the previous post, we started out looking at noise coupling from an inexpensive power ...

Probing is critical to making quality oscilloscope measurements, and often the probe is the first link in the oscilloscope measurement chain. If probe performance is not adequate for your application, ...

LeCroy has released a software option for its serial data analyzers (SDAs) that lets the real-time oscilloscopes correlate jitter measurements with those from time-interval analyzers (TIAs). Prior to ...

A CMOS sensor gives users a direct view of the area where the timing signal is averaged and a photomultipler tube serves as the energy sensor. Other features include a photopic filter for photometric ...
