SMART SCOPES: Spot the secrets within waveforms

摘要

The economic downturn isn't deterring manufacturers of DSOs (digital-storage oscilloscopes) from introducing models that incorporate exciting features that enhance the instruments' utility and make hardware engineers more productive. Even during periods of slow or neg- ative economic growth, new-product development usually continues relatively unabated. Because hardware-design engineers rely more on DSOs than on any other measurement tool, the instruments' capabilities must advance at least as rapidly as the workings of the products the designers create.
