This article explains how the inductance of passive probe ground leads can dramatically reduce effective bandwidth, distort measurements, and introduce resonance and frequency-response errors.
This tutorial explains a robust oscilloscope-based method for measuring clock jitter using period statistics, track and histogram analysis, and sample-rate verification techniques.
This article introduces the RP2060 and RP4060 power rail probes, designed for modern 48 V power architectures with high offset capability, low-noise measurements, and high-bandwidth power integrity analysis.
Practical guidance on getting the most out of digital oscilloscopes, from setup and triggering to advanced analysis features. Designed to help engineers improve measurement accuracy, efficiency, and confidence in real-world scenarios.
This article explains how the oscilloscope Trend function differs from Track, and how it can be used for long-term measurement analysis, data logging, and monitoring evolving signal behavior across multiple acquisitions.
This article explains how the oscilloscope Track function can be used for anomaly detection and waveform demodulation by graphing synchronized measurement values directly against the input waveform.
This article explains how oscilloscope Track functions can demodulate frequency- and phase-modulated RF signals by graphing instantaneous Frequency and TIE measurements over time.
Oscilloscope tools like measurement parameter tracking and histograms reveal how PWM pulse width, duty cycle, and modulation behavior change over time.
Following key measurement best practices—anticipating results, understanding instrument limits, defining objectives, and validating consistency—helps ensure accurate oscilloscope measurements.
FFT analysis converts time-domain oscilloscope data into a frequency-domain spectrum, revealing the signal’s underlying sine-wave components and interference sources.
While built-in isolated inputs offer convenience and safety, high-quality isolated probes deliver superior noise immunity and performance in fast-switching, high-voltage environments.
Fast-rising signals can introduce transmission line reflections that appear as ringing on an oscilloscope, but proper 50-ohm termination can eliminate these artifacts.
