Tektronix made oscilloscopes and | A sampling oscilloscope captures the time domain waveform at discrete time intervals using a [[Sampler|sampling circuit]]. These captured voltages are then either stored in an analog fashion (integrator circuits and CRTs) or digitized and processed digitally. | ||
Through the 1960s, the sampling group at Tektronix was led by [[Al Zimmerman]]. | |||
A distinction is made between real-time and equivalent time sampling. Real-time sampling requires a sampling rate of at least twice the highest signal bandwidth to capture the signal without [[wikipedia:Aliasing|aliasing artifacts]]. It is rare with analog oscilloscopes, but the method of choice for low to medium speed [[:Category:Digital storage scopes|digital storage oscilloscopes]], and allows for single shot waveform acquisition. | |||
Equivalent time sampling requires repetitive signals but allows to capture a fast signal with a sampling rate much slower than the signal bandwidth. When talking about a "Sampling Oscilloscope" this approach is usually referred to. For digital instruments the term [[:Category:Digital Sampling scopes|"Digital Sampling Oscilloscopes"]] is used. However the lines are blurry, since many instruments utilizing sampling concepts switch between different acquisition modes depending on the timebase setting. | |||

Equivalent time sampling is further divided into sequential, and [[random sampling]]. | |||
Instruments that have a random sampling mode usually also have a sequential sampling mode, e.g., the [[7T11]]. | |||
