Introduction

Millions of people use electronic devices such as cell phones, televisions, and computers on a daily basis. As electronic technology has advanced, so have the speeds at which these devices operate. Today, most devices use high-speed digital technologies.

Oscilloscopes are powerful tools for designing and testing electronic devices. They are vital in determining which components of a system are behaving correctly and which are malfunctioning. They can also help you determine whether or not a newly designed component behaves the way you intended. Oscilloscopes are far more powerful than multimeters because they allow you to see what the electronic signals actually look like.

Oscilloscopes are powerful tools for designing and testing electronic devices. They are vital in determining which components of a system are behaving correctly and which are malfunctioning. They can also help you determine whether or not a newly designed component behaves the way you intended. Oscilloscopes are the preferred tool for many engineers because they allow you to see what the electronic signals actually look like and are used in a wide range of fields, from the automotive industry to university research laboratories to the aerospace-defense industry.
