Deep analysis of oscilloscope industry, development presents five major trends

An oscilloscope is a widely used electronic measuring instrument. It can convert electric signals that are invisible to the naked eye into visible images, making it easier for people to study the changing process of various electrical phenomena. Oscilloscopes are mainly used to test and develop modern technologies and therefore must be continuously developed to adapt to new application environments.

The development of oscilloscope industry presents five trends:

1. In order to save circuit board space and reduce cost and power, the oscilloscope embedded design evolved from a parallel architecture to a serial architecture. That is, from parallel measurement to serial measurement, a variety of serial data triggering functions, search features, and protocols are increasingly being applied.

2. If you want to analyze the embedded mixed-signal system, the traditional oscilloscope may seem awkward and you must use a logic analyzer. This also provides an opportunity for the emergence of mixed signal oscilloscopes. The future of mixed-signal oscilloscopes with availability of oscilloscopes, measurement capabilities of logic analyzers, and some serial protocol analysis functions will become a trend of development.

3, portable high performance oscilloscope will also become the trend of future oscilloscope development. Because it solves the problem that the oscilloscope's volume and performance are proportional, it can only be a matter of choice.

4. The oscilloscope transforms from debugging and design to automatic inspection tool applications. Increasingly, oscilloscopes are used to check whether a device meets the specifications of a serial data standard.

5, oscilloscope display gradually develops to large size, high definition, high resolution and color, and the display is more and more high-end. This is related to people's habit of using the screen and the oscilloscope's need to display more signals at the same time.
