Equipment - Oscilloscopes

1. Overview

Oscilloscopes are electronic test instruments that graphically display varying signal voltages over time. As fundamental tools in electrical engineering, they enable visualization of waveform shapes, signal integrity analysis, and transient event detection. Modern oscilloscopes combine analog signal acquisition with digital processing to support complex measurements in R&D, manufacturing, and field service applications.

2. Main Types and Functional Classification
