#187606 - It's still too low a bandwidth, wouldn't you say? Responding to: ???'s previous message |
I mean, too low for the price.
If it meets your needs, well, OK, but I'd not want to have that as my only 'scope. Likewise, there are logic analyzers costing about the same amount that have a 'scope function, and operate at considerably higher bandwidth, according to their claims. In today's work environment, unless one is operating with pretty slow MCU's, this one is entirely too slow. After all, if its bandwidth is 3 MHz, or even 5, that's too low to examine the behavior of the oscillator/clock, that times your MCU's operations, thereby giving you a distorted image of what's really going on in your application circuit. It used to be, that one had to use an instrument with at least 10x the bandwidth of the fastest signal in one's circuit under examination in order to obtain sufficiently a precise sense of what was going on. After all, you need to see whether clock leads or lags data at the input to a register. RE |
