Getting To Know the Digital Oscilloscope and DIY One for Yourself Today!

Before you’re starting this digital oscilloscope project, you should know the origin of the Oscilloscope first! An oscilloscope is one of the types of electronic test equipment, which it allows signal voltages to be detected and viewed. Mostly, the output will be in a two-dimensional graph of one or more electrical potential differences (vertical axis), and usually plotted as a function of time (horizontal axis). Oscilloscope is commonly known as the most versatile and widely-used electronic instruments (Well, if you never used it before, then you should try it today!)

An oscilloscope is normally being used to measure the frequency, show distortion and even show the relative timing of two related signals. Oscilloscopes can be found in the sciences, medicine, engineering, and industry.

The digital oscilloscope or also known as DSO, is the preferred type and widely been used in most of the industrial applications. It started to replace the unreliable storage method, which is used in analogue storage scopes with digital memory and it can store data as long as required without degradation! Plus, it also enables the complex processing of the signal by high-speed digital signal processing circuits.

The advantages of using the digital oscilloscopes over the analogue oscilloscope are:

  • It has brighter and bigger display, or even with color to distinguish multiple traces.
  • The peak detection.
  • The Pre-trigger feature.
  • You can pan and zoom across multiple stored traces.

Ok guys, enjoys the digital oscilloscope and have a nice day!
