VXI Oscilloscopes

Oscilloscopes and digitizers both digitize dynamic (i.e., rapidly changing) analog signals. In fact, the heart of an oscilloscope is a relatively low-resolution, high-speed digitizer--perfectly adequate for visual interpretation of fast transients and high-frequency waveforms. Oscilloscopes are used primarily to measure waveform parameters. They give users limited control over how data is captured, but many traditional parameters--such as rise time, fall time and pulse width--are available at the push of a button.
