WHAT ARE THE APPLICATIONS AND USES OF DIGITAL OSCILLOSCOPE

What is the Use of a Digital Oscilloscope?

 An Oscilloscope is an electronic instrument that can display the changes in
signal voltages graphically. It is used to display, store, process, analyze, and
capture the bandwidth and waveform of the signals. Based on the type of signal,
oscilloscopes can be classified into two types. These are analog oscilloscopes and
digital oscilloscopes. Scientific Suppliers offer high-precision oscilloscopes to
industries, Engineering Colleges, laboratories, and so on.

What is Digital Oscilloscope?

 It is an electronic device that can store and analyze the signal in a digital
format. When the input signal is supplied to this device, it is processed and
stored in the memory. Then it is displayed on the screen. The data is stored in a
digital format, which is the representation in the form of two digits, 1 and 0.

 Since it uses digital processing methods, the accuracy and
reliability of the digital storage oscilloscope are much higher.

 Professional applications that make use of this equipment are medical
research labs, automotive machines, physicists, repair technicians, and so on.
They have replaced analog oscillometers and they are the most commonly
found oscillometers.

What are the Applications of Digital
Oscilloscope?

 They are used for analyzing the operating properties of circuits. Also,
they can measure line-power harmonics and power conversion devices like
regulators and transformers. To perform power analysis, you need different
amplifier probes. By using specialized software, data analysis can become
fast and simple.

 Another popular use of them is in serial data analysis. They can be used
in representing and analyzing different data formats such as
Bluetooth, SCSI, FireWire, Ethernet, and USB.

 Nowadays, they are being used in an important application. It is a jitter
analysis. They are very fast and run at a high clock speed. Therefore, they are
useful in specialized clocking applications. It is easy to represent, analyze,
and debug signal timing and jitter.

 Another important use is in storage device testing. It is possible to assess
disk performance. optical recording characteristics, and media noise. Disk
drive design can assess various parameters.

 Another important use is in TDR, which can be used for measuring
impedance values and variations. Thus, it is easy to find faults along
microstrips or on cable connectors.
