and some that are different. We’ll look at the basic systems and controls that are common to both. Understanding these systems and controls is key tousing
The basic oscilloscope, as shown in the illustration, is typically divided into four sections: the display, vertical controls, horizontal controls and trigger controls. The display is usually a CRT or LCD panel which is laid out with both horizontal and vertical reference lines referred to as the...
The Channel, Pre-trigger, Threshold and Direction controls allow you to set up simple edge triggering. Experienced oscilloscope users will find these controls familiar even if they have not used PicoScope before – for new and beginner users, check out our trigger series by Roger Berry. The tri...
Although both modular and stand-alone oscilloscopes are both used to acquire voltages, the instruments offer different benefits. However, the considerations discussed above are important when purchasing either instrument. Thinking ahead about application requirements, cost constraints, performance, and future...
It lets you independently adjust time and frequency-domain views, by using patented technology behind each FlexChannel input. You can turn on a spectrum view for any analog channel, enabling multi-channel mixed domain analysis.Intuitive spectrum analyzer controls like center fre...
If you are working with an oscilloscope for the first time, the sheer number of controls can be overwhelming and their labels a little cryptic. Even if you have worked with oscilloscopes before, changing models can mean you have to reacquaint yourself with your new tool’s specific functions....

The horizontal position is adjusted by a horizontal position knob on the oscilloscope front panel, and similarly a vertical position knob controls the vertical position. These controls adjust the position of the display by biasing the measured signal with DC voltage levels. There is a separate ...
Digital oscilloscopes today include a high-speed, low-resolution (typically 8 bits) analog-to-digital converter (ADC), defined controls and display, and a built-in processor to run software algorithms for common measurements. Since oscilloscopes are PC-based, you have the advantage of being able...
