BK 5105B 150MHz (1GS/s) Analog/Digital Oscilloscope

The digital capabilities offer the ability for one shot events, you can see what happened before the trigger. After acquisition, the data can be manipulated and displayed in many different ways. You can change time base or vertical position. You can select which portion of a waveform you'd like to look at in more depth. You can compare the measured waveform to a "known good" waveform in memory.

Features:

- 8-Bit low noise flash A/D converters
- Pre and post trigger – 100% to +400%
- Acquisition modes: Single Event, Refresh, Average, Envelope, Roll, Peak-Detect
- On screen Help information
- RS-232 Interface Advantages of Analog over Digital:
- Analog scopes display signals in real time.
- Analog scopes can catch “rare events” that DSOs can miss due to their sampling rate limitations.
- Analog scope are not limited in vertical resolution by 8 or 12 bit A/D converters that can lose signal details during the digitizing process.
- Analog copes have a frequency response which closely follows the Gaussian curve, this means in practice that frequencies far beyond the -3dB frequency will be shown. The amplitude will be reduced but they will be shown. Advantages of the added digital operation:
- Capture and storage of single events for event analysis
- There will be no screen flicker with very low frequency signals.
- Fast signals with a low repetition rate response and low duty cycle can be displayed with high intensity
