Basic analog level triggering was developed by Tektronix founders Howard Vollum and Jack Murdock and helped sell the company’s first scope, the Model 511, in 1947. Adding an analog delay line to delay ...

Compared with other scopes, LeCroy’s WaveExpert 100H 100-GHz-maximum-bandwidth near-real-time-sampling oscilloscope provides significantly greater de-embedding power, which it demonstrates through an ...

Closely related to a scope’s real-time bandwidth is its maximum specified sample rate. “Real-time” simply means that the scope can capture and display signals commensurate with the scope’s specified ...

Sampling oscilloscopes do not capture a whole waveform in one shot. Instead they are simpler, and work with repetitive waveforms only, using a fast sampling gate at a relatively slow sampling rate to ...

PC-based oscilloscope maker Pico Technology has introduced a repetitive sampling facility on its 100MHz digital storage scope which boosts sample rate to 5Gsample/s. The firm’s ADC-212, a 100MHz ...

The high-speed serial interface signals supporting today's computer and communications systems are too fast for most general-purpose test equipment. For example, PCI Express operates at a 2.5-GHz bit ...
