An oscilloscope display consists of 2 axes, the X (horizontal) representing time, and the Y (vertical) axis representing voltage. They are used mainly to visualize transient phenomena as well as waveforms in electrical and electronic circuits.  However, it can also measure the amplitude, frequency, rising time, time interval, distortion, and other characteristics of the projected waveform can then be analyzed.

In the past,  these numbers had to be determined manually measuring the waveform. For this reason, the digital oscilloscope became popular in the engineering world. The oscilloscope was known as oscillograph (scope | o-scope| CRO- cathode-ray-oscilloscope).  Today, it is called DSO (digital storage oscilloscope).

What is an oscilloscope used for?

As mentioned above, an oscilloscope display consists of 2 axes, which help us visualize the desired output. The fields where an oscilloscope is popular in its use are sciences, medicine, engineering, automotive, and the telecommunications industry.

For instance, an oscilloscope for engineering is a vital instrument for manufacture, design, troubleshooting, signal integrity, and if wanted just learning how electrical circuits function.

Main Features of an oscilloscope:

• Bandwidth – The bandwidth range that an oscilloscope can accurately measure. The bandwidth of an oscilloscope typically ranges from 50 MHz to 530 GHz.

• Sample rate-  The number of samples it can acquire per second. The waveform is displayed more clearly and correctly as the samples per second increase.

• Signal Integrity – The oscilloscope’s ability to represent the waveform accurately. Helps use display the correct information if the device is malfunction without this we wouldn’t be able to know the actual problem.

• Channels – The input to the oscilloscope. They can be analog or digital. There are typically 2 to 4 analog channels per oscilloscope.

• Probe Compatibility –An oscilloscope probe is a gadget that connects the oscilloscope to the equipment being tested. There are many different types of passive and active probes, each designed for a unique application. You’ll need an oscilloscope that works with the probes you’ll be using for your experiments.

• Applications –Signal analysis, protocol decoding, and compliance test tools can help you find and fix faults in your designs in a fraction of the time.
