As a general tests measuring instrument, oscilloscope in communication, industrial automation, education, computer, national defense, aerospace and other fields of application, plays a very important role. With the system clock faster, various applications of oscilloscope is in progress. In addition to the performance requirements of higher bandwidth, sampling rate and further from the outside, the length of storage application oscilloscope perspective, oscilloscope are increasingly complex signal applied, including product development, analog and digital circuit design, communication, automobile electronics, etc.
Technical progress and innovation and application of industry of the whole demand pull ascend the development of industry, test and measurement. And the development of oscilloscope is also showing a tendency: the integrated development.
Oscilloscope function integration
Integration has become the future development trend of products mainly oscilloscope. With an oscilloscope, means with arbitrary waveform generator () function generator, and digital multimeter, spectrum analyzer, digital devices and protocol analyzer, testing instruments, also will built-in functions, such as supporting training, software tools support etc. Function.
Sadie consultant survey in numerous integrated functions, the user is relatively complete training, text and key records and download software tools support three functions.
2007 launch MSO4000 capability of mixed signal oscilloscope is oscilloscope function integration of product. This MSO4000 series of mixed signal oscilloscope to advanced real-time oscilloscope, the logical analyzer and breakthrough WaveInspector oscilloscope waveform search engine three powerful function integration into a small portable portable embedded design and debug equipment, in order to satisfy the design requirements and testing. Also, norelco agilent tests measuring manufacturers are actively using core technology will be more multifunctional integration in an instrument of measuring instrument integration, testing.
With the virtual technology, digital signal processing (DSP), the hypercore processor and the development of technology, the user needs, believe that the future market, there will be more multifunctional integration of oscilloscope products. And oscilloscope is also expected to become test and measurement field "synthesizer.
Oscilloscope market position
Integrated development promotes oscilloscope products in test and measurement field has been the market status of manufacturers and users. Sadie consultancy study data shows, in 2007 China's general test market oscilloscope 34% of the products, the market proportion compared with 2006. This further instructions in the overall test oscilloscope market status of measuring instrument. The future with the needs of the user oscilloscope industries continuously improve the performance and the corresponding improvement in the test and measurement, oscilloscope, the role of industry will increasingly prominent.
Both international and domestic giant test and measurement, if can test and measurement in the oscilloscope market competition topped, bound in the test and measurement of the market competition has more power. Unusually, norelco also is such. But in recent years, not only in the oscilloscope agilent field catch up, in the overall test measurement on the market with its comprehensive strength is a head the chair.
In current China, capability and oscilloscope market ahead of other manufacturers to agilent is market leader. PuYuan, yokogawa and solid material in recent years, due to strong dc power supply growth momentum can look forward to become. But China, green, secco's other domestic manufacturers are followers of the market. Throughout China oscilloscope market competition, the international test and measurement can be found in the overall test and measurement no-preemptive manufacturer of market competition, the role of the oscilloscope is of great significance.
