Abstract
This chapter elaborates on various important aspects of using digital storage oscilloscopes (DSOs), and notes the way different models include different facilities. This will affect not only the way one uses them, but also the way one chooses the model when considering purchasing or leasing. Most models are very versatile, and to that extent may be considered as general purpose instruments, while others are primarily dedicated to a particular use—such as the DSOs specifically designed for working with the high voltages encountered in power supplies and mains distribution systems. Early DSOs were not only limited in performance, but operating them could be a little tricky. Modern instruments are much improved in this respect, but there are still points that the user should be aware of and watch out for. One of these is the possibility of aliasing, which can occur not only when the instrument is operating in equivalent time mode, but also in realtime mode, if the Nyquist criterion is violated.
