Abstract
An apparatus, includes an oscilloscope and a waveform generator. The waveform generator is integrated in a common housing with the oscilloscope, and configured to provide a stimulus signal as an output of the apparatus and to provide a trigger signal that is connected internally to the oscilloscope for triggering the oscilloscope.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- an oscilloscope;
- and
- a waveform generator integrated in a common housing with the oscilloscope, and configured to provide a stimulus signal as an output of the apparatus and to provide a trigger signal that is connected internally to the oscilloscope for triggering the oscilloscope.
An apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of channel input blocks configured to receive corresponding input signals;
- an acquisition system configured to display the input signals;
- a waveform generator integrated in a common housing with the acquisition system, and configured to provide a stimulus signal as an output of the apparatus and to provide a trigger signal;
- and
- a switch integrated in the common housing and connected internally to the waveform generator and the channel input blocks, and configured to selectively provide the input signals and the trigger signal to the acquisition system to trigger display of the input signals.
