Oscilloscopes or scopes are an important tool in the armory of the electronics engineer or tester. An oscilloscope is an item of electronics test equipment that enables waveforms to be seen and in this way makes it very much easier to see any problems occurring in an electronics circuit. Oscilloscopes are an essential piece of electronics test equipment for any electronics laboratory or area testing electronics hardware whether within RF design, general electronics circuit design, electronics manufacturing, service, repair, or anywhere that electronic circuits and the waveforms on them need to be investigated. The function of an oscilloscope is to be able to display waveforms on some form of display.
E.g.: Analog, Analogue Storage, Digital, Digital Sampling, MSO, USB, Mixed domain.
