![]()
n. A class of oscilloscopes that utilizes parallel processing to continuously capture, display, store and analyze complex signals in real-time, using three dimensions of signal information -- amplitude, time and distribution of amplitude over time – resulting in an intensity graded display.
DPOs
- have a continuous waveform capture rate of up to >400,000 wfm/s, 50x faster than any other type of oscilloscope
- provide intensity grading, in real-time, as part of the acquisition system unlike DSO persistence display mode that relies on post-processing of data
- enable test throughput 10's of times faster than DSO's due to the unique parallel processing
- uniquely acquire signals in real time using 3 dimensions of information
- are recommended in industry standards for compliance testing, such as DVI
