An Oscilloscope is a device that graphically displays electrical signals as voltage versus time, allowing analysis of waveform characteristics such as amplitude, frequency, and noise. The main types include analog oscilloscopes (traditional CRT-based waveform display), digital storage oscilloscopes (DSO) (capture and store signals digitally), and mixed-signal oscilloscopes (MSO) (for analyzing both analog and digital signals). Oscilloscopes are widely used in industries such as electronics manufacturing, automation, telecommunications, and research for circuit testing, troubleshooting, quality control, and design validation.
