Key parameters of an oscilloscopes and their impact on accuracy.
Today's digital oscilloscopes sometimes show you waveforms and events that aren't there, instead of showing you the events you would really like to see. Unavoidable blind time, not triggering on the actual waveform, uncontrollable overshoot, small signal bandwidth limitations, published waveform update rates not based on actual measurements or mask testing and signal integrity that's noisier than you can see -- all contribute to unreliable results. We invite you to discover how your digital oscilloscope may be misrepresenting results and what to consider when selecting an oscilloscope.
