The Impact of Digital Oscilloscope Blind Time on Your Measurements

PublishTime：2022-02-28

●All digital oscilloscopes are temporarily blind. During this blind time the user will miss critical signal events at his device under test. Thus, it is necessary to understand the impact of blind time to the measurement.
●This application note explains the background of blind time and points out why a high acquisition rate is important. It furthermore explains the R&S RTO oscilloscope capabilities and how they help for faster debugging, measurement and analysis.
●What is blind time?
■Some people might remember the first digital oscilloscopes introduced in the early eighties. They represented a great technology revolution, but also a paradigm shift for the users. The use of digital technology offered the advantages of waveform postprocessing and permanent data storage, but this came at the cost of slow display update rates. Over time digital oscilloscopes have made tremendous improvements and have nearly displaced analog oscilloscopes.
