Making the right decision: PXIe, AXIe digitizers or a Low Profile oscilloscope? Tuesday, October 23, 2018 by: Brian Hensley

By Brian Hensley What are the differences between a high speed digitizer and an oscilloscope and how do you know which one is the right fit for your application? Fundamentally they both take analog waveforms and convert them into digital data through an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC). Then the data is stored into memory to be saved, analyzed or streamed to a PC. So, is the primary difference a …
