The largest and perhaps most dynamic market for oscilloscopes is the midrange: scopes that slot between basic models that support education, budget-constrained hobbyists, and service applications, in addition to performance models used for high-speed research and development. Midrange oscilloscopes combine affordable pricing with a rich feature set and solid performance, helping to make them a mainstay on design engineers' test benches around the world. Over the past two decades, the midrange scope market has seen a tremendous amount of innovation, driven by changing market requirements. As the timeline in Fig. 1 makes clear, oscilloscope innovation maps closely to embedded design and technology trends.
