There are at least two different ways to measure voltage and time on an oscilloscope. First we’ll cover the important skill of being able to estimate voltage or time by reading the display (or ...

As digital standards are introduced, modified and updated, the digital oscilloscope continues to play a significant role in understanding their integration into a system and their behavior in a new ...

Remember fundamentals and practice situational awareness in taking measurements. It’s not only using the right probe, but it’s also using the probe right. Eliminating measurement artifacts is tricky, ...

Hackers have been building their own basic oscilloscopes out of inexpensive MCUs and cheap LCD screens for some years now, ...

Tektronix recently unveiled two new products, one the MP5000 Series automated system and the other the 7 Series DPO oscilloscope. The new scope is purpose-built for engineering teams and researchers ...

Generating interesting imagery on an analog oscilloscope is a fun activity enjoyed by many, with an excellent demonstration by [Henry Segerman] provided in a recent video which covers [Matthias ...

When designing space electronics, particularly during the early prototyping stage or if qualification or flight hardware doesn’t function as intended, the humble oscilloscope is often used to verify ...

I am trying to look at raw Ethernet waveforms on my oscilloscope, but I have no idea how to set it up: I have a pair of RJ45-to-SMA adapter boxes that allow me to carry a set of Ethernet signals over ...

Newman-Kees Principal Consulting Engineer Frank Hertel says a friend recently brought him an old LPB 30-Watt AM transmitter for repair. It’s a good low-power transmitter, but this one had been abused.

Oscilloscopes detect, analyse, and measure the electrical signals of an input and present the data as waveforms on the display. While observing a circuit, the oscilloscope screen depicts an array of ...
