Not sure which Oscilloscope you need?

There are various types of oscilloscopes available, each designed for specific applications and measurement requirements. Here are the different types of Oscilloscopes along with a brief description of what they do:

Analog Oscilloscope:

• Displays voltage waveforms as a continuous waveform on a cathode ray tube (CRT).
• Suitable for general-purpose waveform observation and analysis.
• Offers real-time viewing of signals but limited functionality compared to digital oscilloscopes.

Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO):

• Converts analogue signals into digital form for processing and storage.
• Can capture and store waveforms for later analysis.
• Provides various measurement and analysis functions, such as FFT, waveform averaging, and triggering capabilities.
• Offers greater flexibility and features compared to analogue oscilloscopes.

Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope (DPO):

• Similar to a DSO but utilizes a specialized phosphor screen to provide better waveform visualization.
• Offers higher waveform update rates, allowing the observation of fast-changing signals.

Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO):

• Combines the capabilities of a DSO with the ability to analyze digital signals.
• Can capture and display analog and digital waveforms simultaneously, which is ideal for analyzing mixed-signal systems.

Sampling Oscilloscope:

• Uses a technique called "equivalent time sampling" to reconstruct high-frequency waveforms.
• Suitable for measuring repetitive signals with high bandwidth requirements.

PC-Based Oscilloscope:

• Utilizes a computer's processing power and display to function as an oscilloscope.
• Typically consists of an external hardware interface that connects to the computer.
• Offers the advantage of software-based analysis and storage capabilities.

Handheld Oscilloscope:

• Portable and battery-powered oscilloscope designed for field and on-the-go measurements.
• Its compact size and rugged construction makes it suitable for troubleshooting and maintenance tasks.

Digital Oscilloscope with Arbitrary Waveform Generator:

• Integrates the functionality of a digital oscilloscope with an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG).
• Allows the generation and simultaneous analysis of waveforms, making it useful for stimulus-response testing and characterization.

High-Bandwidth Oscilloscope:

• Designed for applications that require precise measurements of high-frequency signals.
• Offers a higher bandwidth compared to standard oscilloscopes, enabling accurate waveform capture and analysis at higher frequencies.
