Digital Storage Oscilloscopes
In a DSO, an ADC takes samples of a signal at discrete
points in time and converts the voltage at these points to
digital values called sample points. The DSO contains a
sample clock that determines the frequency at which the
ADC takes samples. The rate at which the ADC takes
samples is called the sample rate and is measured in
samples per second.
The sample points from the ADC are stored in the memory
as waveform points. These waveform points make one
waveform record. The number of waveform points used to
make a waveform record is called the record length. A
waveform is then displayed on the screen.
