A digital oscilloscope is primarily constructed of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a microprocessor, and a display unit. The ADC samples the incoming analog signals and converts them into digital data, which the microprocessor processes to analyze the waveform characteristics. The processed data is then displayed on the screen, often using a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a similar technology. Additional components may include input channels, memory for storing waveforms, and user interface controls.
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.
Digital oscilloscopes tend to be more expensive than analogue ones, mainly due to a better accuracy with the digital versions. There are many places you can purchase oscilloscopes; including specialised shops, or even more general marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay. Prices range from ´£35 for a mini oscilloscope up to nearly ´£500 for a top-of-the-range one.
Digital storage oscilloscopes (DSOs) can experience interference from various sources, including electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby electronic devices, ground loops, and improper grounding. Poorly shielded probes can pick up noise from the environment, while the oscilloscope's own internal components may generate digital switching noise. Additionally, inadequate bandwidth or sampling rates can result in aliasing, distorting the measured signal. Proper setup and shielding are essential to minimize these interferences and ensure accurate signal representation.
A: [practically all commercial digital meter have a 11 mega ohm input impedance but there are special meters that can be used to measure leakage current and they have impedance high enough to measure nano amps. Even an oscilloscope will have these kinds of impedance such that the reading is not influenced by external loading

A: absolutely but never in real time. That is the nature of the beast
Cathode ray oscilloscopes are relatively fragile and expensive. They can also be less accurate than other option. One advantage that they do have is that they are well protected from damage if a signal is significantly stronger than expected.
CRO means cathode ray oscilloscope. The Cathode Ray tube is the display mechanism only. A CRO can be a digital or analog scope, with or without digital storage. A digital storage scope can use a CRO as the display mechanism, or it can use a LCD screen, or any other method. There was a type of Cathode Ray tube that used analog means to store the information on the screen, The storage takes place on the screen itself. They were pretty rare, and not seen at all today, as they didn't work very well. Perhaps that is what you are referring to?

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 cathode ray oscilloscope (CRO) is used to see the waveform of a repetitive electronic signal. The signal is amplified or attenuated as required and used to deflect an electron beam in the vertical direction. This electron beam is deflected in the horizontal direction at a suitable speed. The electron beam impinging on a phosphorescent screen enables the viewer to see the wave shape of the signal. The operation is similar to that of a TV.
DSO (Digital Storage Oscilloscope) and CRO (Cathode Ray Oscilloscope) are both test instruments used for viewing and analyzing electronic signals. The main difference lies in their display technology, where a DSO uses a digital display while a CRO uses a cathode ray tube for visualization. DSOs offer more advanced features like storage capabilities, data processing, and connectivity options compared to CROs.
