The digital oscilloscope is the essential instrument
used to capture, view and analyze waveforms,
measure signal characteristics and document the
output.
There are three main DS0 categories.
Top-end models with a bandwidth of around
400 MHz or more are the most suitable for R&D-type
work. The 100–200 MHz models are good for
professional and general purposes. And the
sub-100 MHz, low-cost scopes, are useful for work
on low-frequency signals.

The way in which each element of the DSO works separately
and in conjunction with the other elements:
Ø
Amplifier — amplifies the input signal so that it can be
measured
Ø
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) — converts the
analog signal into digital form by translating it into a
series of sample points that are then measured and
transformed into digital codes representing the signal
samples
Ø
Acquisition Memory System — stores resulting digital
data
Û
System Memory of up to 64 MB
