In the world of electronics, an oscilloscope is one of the most used tools. And of course, no two models of oscilloscopes (or simply ‘scopes) are the same. But a mixed signal oscilloscope is something else entirely, right? In this blog post, we’ll untangle the mysteries behind a mixed signal oscilloscope and find out what it …
Oscilloscopes come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. If you are like me, you probably know a lot about these useful machines, but what if you come across two oscilloscopes that are very similar? I have two oscilloscopes in mind while writing this. I was thinking about Siglent and Rigol oscilloscopes. Picking between two types of oscilloscopes with similar properties can …
An oscilloscope is an electronic device that plots a two-dimensional representation of signals as a function of time and can be used to test and observe the variation in voltage signals over time. The oscilloscope can be used to measure other signals like sounds, amplitude, rise time, distortion, vibrations, time interval, frequency, and some others, but the …
Oscilloscopes are powerful tools essential in any electrician’s toolbox for finding faults in electronic circuits, for developing electronic parts, and diagnosing and repairing electronics. The Oscilloscope, or more commonly known as just a scope, is able to detect the waveform signal measurements and display it over time in a graphical format onthe screen. To be able to accomplish …

Several situations would require you to get full information of time and frequency signals from an analysis, most times it would be an essential part of setting up radio signals, microphone, speakers, cell phones and several other electronic devices that would involve signals. The basic function of both the spectrum analyzer and the oscilloscope is to …

The Siglent SDS1052dl is one of the most popular oscilloscope models since its introduction in early 2012. Part of its popularity can be explained by the general-purpose functions of this scope. But appealing to a broad audience alone doesn’t explain popularity, especially with measurement tools. The quality of measurements should always be the main reason …
Want to know more about Rigol DS1054z digital oscilloscope? You’ve come to the right place. We have tested this oscilloscope and it certainly does live up to expectations. Long story short, if you are looking for a good oscilloscope for an affordable price, this is the oscilloscope for you. Since this is an oscilloscope with a lot of …
If you’re on the hunt for the perfect device to view the electrical signals on most modern electronics devices, then you’ll definitely need an oscilloscope. While similar to that of a multimeter, the oscilloscope plots the waveforms and signals on a 2D graph over time. A multimeter can only take the current measurement but does not …
Your first choice while troubleshooting an electrical fault like a circuit is to use a multimeter, but sometimes your meter alone might not be enough. You might need to uncover some information like frequency, attitude, noise and all those other important characteristics that easily change with time that your simple multimeter cannot give you, then you …
While a multimeter is probably the best device for measuring DC signals and some AC signals, sometimes you need a more in-depth look at those electrical signals. An Oscilloscope gives you that same electrical measurement but with one additional factor – time. It helps to show you the changes in the signal over time and …
