Mixed Signal Oscilloscope Basics: Vendors and Manufacturers
Advertisement
This page covers the fundamentals of Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes (MSOs) and lists some key vendors and manufacturers.
For a broader understanding, refer to the general oscilloscope basics article for different types and manufacturers. A mixed signal oscilloscope is essentially an oscilloscope equipped to measure both analog and digital signals.
These oscilloscopes are valuable tools used throughout the entire product lifecycle, from initial prototype design to final product testing. Embedded system engineers frequently rely on them to debug designs in progress.
The following table lists some prominent mixed signal oscilloscope manufacturers and vendors along with some of their product features:
