Why you should care about oscilloscope acquisition modes
The movement from analog to digital oscilloscopes has opened up a new world of measurement opportunities for engineers. Using an ADC paired with a plotter instead of a sweep generator paired with a CRT gives you the ability to change how your signal is acquired. To get the most confidence out of your oscilloscope readings, it’s crucial to understand the strengths and weaknesses of different acquisition modes. Learn how normal, averaging, and high resolution modes work and when you should use each one.
