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 ...

Sixty years ago Tektronix introduced their first product, the model 511 oscilloscope. Not just a knock-off of some standard scope design like the ones complacent Dumont were marketing, the 511 was the ...

High-speed bench equipment has become so much more affordable in the last decade that naturally one wonders what has made that possible. A great source of answers is a teardown by users like [kerry ...

Modern oscilloscopes are often loaded with features, but every now and then you run into a feature that seems easy to implement yet isn’t available. [kgsws] wanted to use his Rigol DS1074 to show live ...

For some applications such as extremely low-noise amplifiers or precision automated test equipment, it’s still possible to find a linear power supply at work converting AC utility power into some form ...

Researchers are relying more and more heavily on this technology from the 1800s. That question depends on when it’s asked. If asked in 1893, André Blondel, the inventor of oscilloscope technology, ...

For electrical engineers, the oscilloscope is a must-have. It’s widely considered the center of the test bench, as it gives them the ability to view a vast array of analog and digital signals for the ...

The estimated shipping date for successful Kickstarters can often prove to be a bit ambitious, but backers of the Oscilloscope Watch project are finally being rewarded for their patience – almost 10 ...

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 ...
