29 July 2022 - In July we added two new Youtube videos to our Oscilloscope KnowledgeBase. The first video is titled "Oscilloscope with flexible Resolution" and the second one "Time Synchronize 160 Input Channels".

Oscilloscope with flexible Resolution

A choice which faces a lot of engineers is whether to purchase a high resolution scope for analog applications or a fast scope for digital applications. Pico has the ideal solution for addressing that dilemma; FlexRes!

Time Synchronize 160 Input Channels

This video explains how to time synchronize up to five oscilloscopes, for up to 160 channels of voltage, current, temperature, strain measurements, and more.

 Oscilloscope Background

A simple method to verify the bandwidth of your probe

Agilent oscilloscope Probe BandwidthIn oscilloscopes or oscilloscope probes, bandwidth is a measure of the width of a range of frequencies measured in Hertz. Specifically, bandwidth is specified as the frequency at which a sinusoidal input signal is attenuated to 70.7 percent of its original amplitude, also known as the -3 dB point. Most oscilloscope companies design the scope/probe response to be as flat as possible throughout its specified frequency range, and most customers simply rely on the specified bandwidth of the oscilloscope or oscilloscope probes, wondering if they are indeed getting the bandwidth performance at the probe tip. Now you can use these step-by-step instructions to simply measure and verify the bandwidth of your probe with an oscilloscope you may already have.
