Oscilloscope Basics & Key Features of Today's Scopes September 22, 2009

Oscilloscopes are a tool of utmost importance for anyone wanting to look at the behavior of electrical signals in the time domain. This one hour seminar will provide a broad overview of oscilloscopes, focusing on key specifications and on some of the advanced waveform analysis capabilities of modern scopes.

In this seminar we will cover:

Key oscilloscope specifications including: bandwidth, sampling rate, memory length and how they affect measurements

Triggering

Input settings and acquisition models

Waveform analysis including: FFT, XY display, math, histograms and waveform parameters

Application specific measurements: power analysis and serial bus analysis (CAN, I2C, SPI, FlexRay, etc.)
