ACCURATE INPUT CHANNELS
... AND ENOUGH OF THEM
... AND ENOUGH OF THEM
Digital scopes sample analog channels to store and display them. In general,
the more channels the better, although adding channels adds to the price.

What you need
Whether to select 2, 4, 8 or 16 channels depends on your application. Two or four analog channels
will allow you to view and compare signal timings of your waveforms, while debugging a digital
system with parallel data needs an additional 8 or 16 digital channels or more.

system with parallel data needs an additional 8 or 16 digital channels or more.
A Mixed Signal Oscilloscope adds digital timing channels, which indicate high or low states
and can be displayed together as a bus waveform. The latest Mixed Domain Oscilloscopes
add a dedicated RF input for making high frequency measurements in the frequency domain.

Whatever you choose, all channels should have good range, linearity, gain accuracy,
flatness and resistance to static discharge.

Some instruments share the sampling system between channels to save money.
But beware: the number of channels you turn on can reduce the sample rate.

Isolated channels simplify floating measurements. Unlike ground-referenced oscilloscopes,
the input connector shells can be isolated from each other and from earth ground.

A mixed domain oscilloscope not only offers analog and
digital channels, like an MSO, but also includes a dedicated
RF input channel that behaves like a spectrum analyzer.
