BK Precision 5105B 150MHz (1GS/s) Analog/Digital Oscilloscope
The model 5105B is a 150 MHz (1GS/s) Analog/Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO). It is a high performance 150MHz analog oscilloscope with the capability to digitize and store waveforms with its 1GS/s A/D Converters. After the digital acquisition the data can be manipulated and displayed for examination. Unlike other ?DSOs? on the market the 5105B is an Analog/Digital model that is not limited by the shortcomings of pure Digital Storage Oscilloscopes.
* 8-Bit low noise flash A/D converters
* Pre and post trigger ? 100% to +400%
* Acquisition modes: Single Event Refresh Average
* On screen Help information
Advantages of Analog over Digital:
* Analog scopes display signals in real time
* Analog scopes can catch ?rare events? that DSOs can miss due to their sampling rate limitations
* Analog scopes are not limited in vertical resolution by 8 or 12 bit A/D converters that can lose signal details during the digitizing process
* Analog scopes have a frequency response which closely follows the Gaussian curve this means in practice that frequencies far beyond the -3dB frequency will be shown.
* The amplitude will be reduced but they will be shown
Advantages of the added digital operation:
* Capture and storage of single events for event analysis
* There will be no screen flicker with very low frequency signals
* Fast signals with a low repetition rate response and low duty cycle can be displayed with high intensity
