How does an oscilloscope work?

common problems 6930

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 voltage? An easy-to-understand explanation of the difference from current and knowledge of units of measurement ■ Outline When using electronic equipment, you need to have a clear grasp of current, resistance, and voltage. However, there are many people who only know these words and do not understand them in detail. Here, we will explain in layman's terms what the definition of voltage is, what the difference between current and potential is,...

  • What is Keysight Trueform Waveform Generation Technology?

    755

    Trueform waveform generation is a technology unique to the Keysight 33600A and 33500B series Trueform waveform generators. Keysight Trueform technology represents another leap forward in waveform generation technology, giving you the best of both worlds: it is comparable in cost to DDS technology, but delivers predictable, low-noise waveforms that don't skip, just like PPC technology....

  • What is the difference between an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer/signal analyzer?

    459

    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...
