Most oscilloscopes are fitted with filters to help improve measurement by reducing overall noise in an acquisition to improve signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Even the most basic oscilloscopes include an ...

Ok, you want to get an oscilloscope. Where do you start? This TechXchange includes content that will be useful for the operation of a scope in your test environment. This includes considerations like ...

Some measurements, like “peak to peak amplitude” are pretty straightforward. But when should you use “mean” and when should you use “RMS”? What exactly is RMS, and what’s the difference between “RMS” ...

IN a recent communication in these columns, Daly and Sutherland 1 have described a new instrument in which an infra-red spectrum is traced upon a cathode ray screen having a long persistence of glow, ...

Building on the work of cathode ray oscilloscope inventor Karl Ferdinand Braun a half-century earlier, Tektronix founders Howard C. Vollum and Jack Murdock invented the triggered oscilloscope in 1946, ...
