    Digital Storage Oscilloscope

    Analog storage oscilloscopes store input waveforms in a special cathode ray tube that uses secondary electron emission to build up electrostatic charges on an insulated target, allowing the waveform to be stored. However, the waveform cannot be stored indefinitely and additional power is required. Digital storage oscilloscopes digitize input signals using sample and hold circuits and analog-to-digital conversion, storing the data in memory. This allows waveforms to be stored for as long as needed without degradation. DSOs also offer advantages like higher resolution, quantitative analysis capabilities, and the ability to easily compare multiple stored traces.

    [DSO]

     In a conventional CRT, the persistence of the phosphor varies a few milliseconds to


    several seconds, as a result of which , the persistence of the screen is smaller than the
    rate at which the signal sweeps across the screen ,the start of the display would fade
    before the end is written.
     In contrast , storage oscilloscopes store the input waveform for a long time after the
    waveform is produced on the screen.
     Analog storage oscilloscope
     Analog storage oscilloscopes store the input waveform in a special type of cathode
    ray tube.
     It uses the phenomenon of secondary electron emission to build up and store
    electrostatic charges on the surface of an insulated target.
     The waveform cannot be preserved beyond a definite duration of time.
     The power should remain on as long as the waveform is to be retained.
     Frequency of operation is limited.
     Only one wave form can be stored.
     It is more expensive.
     Need for additional power supplies.
     Superior method of storage.
     Digital memory.
     Store data as long as required without degradetion.
     The scope’s own signal analysis software can extract many useful
    time-domain features such as rise time, amplitude, pulse width etc,
    frequency spectra and other parameters useful to engineers in
    various specialised fields.
     The sample and hold circuits tracks the input signal and switches into the hold state in
    the well defined discrete intervals.
     The signal is digitised by using an analog to digital converter to create data sets that
    is stored in the acquisition memory.
     The data is processed and then sent to the display,which in early DSOs was a cathode
    ray tube, but is now an LCD flat panel display.
     DSO are limited principally by the the performance of the analog input circuitry
    and the sampling frequency.
     The sampling frequency should be at least the Nyquist value (twice the frequency
    of the highest frequency components of the input signal), otherwise distortions may
    occur.
     Brighter and bigger display with colour to distinguish multiple traces.
     Higher resolution down to microvolts.
     Peaks detection .
     Quantitative analysis possible.
     Allows automation.
     Easy zoom across multiple stored trces.
