Abstract
An oscilloscope comprises a number of analog signal inputs for receiving respective analog input signals, an analog-to-digital converter, ADC, for every analog signal input, each ADC comprising an analog input and a digital output, the analog inputs being coupled to the respective one of the analog signal inputs for receiving the respective analog input signal, and the digital outputs outputting respective digital signals, and a signal processor coupled to the digital outputs of the ADCs that performs predetermined signal processing functions based on at least one of the digital signals and outputs a number of respective digital output signals.
Claims18
An oscilloscope, the oscilloscope comprising:
- a number of analog signal inputs for receiving respective analog input signals,
- an analog-to-digital converter, ADC, for every analog signal input, each ADC comprising an analog input and a digital output, the analog inputs being coupled to the respective one of the analog signal inputs for receiving the respective analog input signal, and the digital outputs outputting respective digital signals, and
- a signal processor coupled to the digital outputs of the ADCs that performs predetermined signal processing functions based on at least one of the digital signals and outputs a number of respective digital output signals.
A method for operating an oscilloscope, the method comprising:
- receiving a number of analog input signals via respective analog signal inputs,
- converting the received analog input signals into digital signals, each with an analog-to-digital converter, ADC, each ADC comprising an analog input and a digital output, the analog inputs being coupled to the respective one of the analog signal inputs for receiving the respective analog input signal, and the digital outputs outputting respective digital signals, and
- performing predetermined signal processing functions based on at least one of the digital signals and outputting a number of respective digital output signals with a signal processor coupled to the digital outputs of the ADCs.
