The Oscilloscope of the Future | More Than Just an Oscilloscope

White Paper Overview

The test engineering team has an extremely challenging job to perform. Along with numerous technical issues, engineers are continuously facing time and schedule time constraints. In most cases, they are also in an environment where their test equipment is inadequate in capacity or performance, if not both. Some standard test instruments on the engineer’s bench are an oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, function generator, frequency response analyzer, logic analyzer, protocol analyzer, counter, and digital voltmeter (DVM). Engineers use these tools for different test requirements — you can imagine the crowded appearance of the test bench area. Now imagine yourself as an engineer who owns the oscilloscope of the future — all test instruments within a single box.

This white paper describes how the oscilloscope of the future helps engineers design and test complex designs and provide insight into more signals. This paper also explains how engineers can get from symptom to root cause to resolution in minutes instead of hours.
