Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) sample analog signals and produce a value that corresponds to a “snapshot” of the signal at a specific time. By taking samples at regular intervals, you can obtain ...

DSOs (digital oscilloscopes) offer a great many advantages over their analog equivalents but as they say, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” Digital scopes sample, digitize, and store waveforms ...

An arbitrary waveform generator (Arb) can be seen as a reversed version of a real-time DSO. Both instrument categories share the same theoretical principles applied to sampled signals. There are, ...
