The storage function of a storage 'scope is one of those tools that you rarely need, but when you do need it, you need it bad!

It is used to capture a single very short event that only happens rarely.

Example: I was troubleshooting a DME transmitter that occasionally blew the receiver mixer. Research indicated that it happened when a tuning solenoid energized. So I used a storage scope to monitor the transmitter while I operated the solenoid, and lo-and-behold, the modulator was firing a single 1000 watt pulse when the solenoid was at about mid travel.

What is the difference between cathode ray oscilloscope and digital storage oscilloscope?

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?

What is different between analog Oscilloscope and digital 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.


What is the difference between dso and cro?

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.


Digital storage oscilloscope - source of interference?

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.

What is the disadvantage of CRO?

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.
