A: absolutely but never in real time. That is the nature of the beast
an oscilloscope give amplitude v/s time display of a wave, whereas the spectrum analyzer gives amplitude v/s frequency display. the oscilloscope gives distribution of energy in wave with respect to time whereas the spectrum analyzer displays frequency components of a wave and their amplitudes.
The heart of an oscilloscope is the cathode ray tube (CRT) or the digital display screen. This is where the waveform of the input signal is displayed for analysis and measurement. The CRT or display screen is responsible for generating the visual representation of the electrical signals being measured.
A digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) can perform several math operations on waveforms, including: Addition – Combining two signals. Subtraction – Finding the difference between two signals. Multiplication – Scaling one signal by a factor of another. Division – Dividing one signal by another. FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) – Converting time-domain signals to the frequency domain. Integration – Calculating the area under a waveform (useful for signal energy). Differentiation – Calculating the rate of change of the waveform. These operations help analyze and visualize complex signals for troubleshooting and diagnostics.

Amplitude is typically measured using a signal processing tool known as an oscilloscope. An oscilloscope visually represents the magnitude of a signal over time, allowing users to measure the amplitude of a waveform accurately. Additionally, digital multimeters and spectrum analyzers can also be used to measure amplitude in electrical signals.
A cathode ray oscilloscope uses an electron beam and phosphor screen to display analog waveforms in real time, while a digital storage oscilloscope converts signals into digital data for storage, analysis, and advanced measurements. Digital oscilloscopes offer higher accuracy and data handling. For professional oscilloscopes and testing tools, reliable options are available at EnrgTech.
With either a digital frequency meter or an oscilloscope.
As with analog ( Dial) watches versus Digital clocks- there are two different types of presentation. The Analog Oscilloscope is more properly called a Cathode Ray oscilloscope as it uses a specialized CRT ( Cathode Ray tube) the Digital creates and displays its graphics in a digital fashion. They do not need a warm-up time as they do not use vacuum tubes. Storage oscilloscopes, which have a time-lapse feature most intriguing and a memory bank, can be and have been made in both the analog and the digital configurations. the German Hameg company marketed both types.
One disadvantage of a CRO (cathode ray oscilloscope) is its limited storage capability, as it typically displays real-time waveforms and does not retain past data for analysis. Additionally, CROs can be bulky and less portable compared to digital oscilloscopes.
Cepstrum -The Fourier transform of the logarithm of the mean square density, i.e. simply speaking, the spectrum analysis of a spectrum analysis.

A: the signal is displayed on a screen and the special rare earths retain the impression for analysis
A scope is nothing else then a display instrument it will amplify and display a signal on a CRT for visual analysis
