Why Use ENOB When Evaluating Oscilloscope Quality
Applikationsberichte
The oscilloscope is today an indispensible tool in any engineer’s toolbox. With its ability to view signal voltages, the oscilloscope can be used to diagnose malfunctions in electronic equipment and check the electronics in a range of applications in the scientific, medical, engineering, and telecommunications industries. The trick, of course, is selecting the right oscilloscope and that means having to evaluate its performance. Banner specifications like bandwidth, sample rate and memory depth can provide a basis for comparing different vendor’s oscilloscope. Yet, even if an oscilloscope has superior banner specifications it may fail to provide the accurate results today’s engineers demand.
