oszcilloszópok

An oszcilloszkóp, commonly known as an oscilloscope, is an electronic test instrument that graphically displays varying signal voltages, usually as a two-dimensional plot of one or more signals as a function of time. This allows users to observe the characteristics of electrical signals, such as amplitude, frequency, and waveform shape. The horizontal axis typically represents time, while the vertical axis represents voltage.

Modern oscilloscopes are digital and store the waveform data, allowing for detailed analysis, manipulation, and saving of captured signals. They can also perform automated measurements of various signal parameters. Oscilloscopes are indispensable tools in fields like electronics engineering, physics research, and troubleshooting, where understanding the behavior of electrical circuits and signals is crucial.

Early oscilloscopes were analog, using a cathode ray tube (CRT) to display the waveform. These devices provided a real-time view of the signal but lacked the storage and advanced analysis capabilities of their digital counterparts. The advent of digital technology has revolutionized oscilloscope design, leading to more powerful, versatile, and user-friendly instruments.
