USB Digital Real-Time Oscilloscope: 5000D Series Adjustable Vertical Resolution

A digital real-time oscilloscope is a type of digital oscilloscope (DSO), also known as a “single-shot” oscilloscope, which captures signals in real-time at a sampling rate far exceeding the signal bandwidth (generally over 2 times, ideally over 5 times), making it easy to observe high-speed single-shot signals. There are three important technical specifications that define … Read more
