Achieve Your Real Edge
Having the right amount of oscilloscope bandwidth ensures accurate measurements.
If you have too much bandwidth, oscilloscope noise becomes a contributor in your
measurement. With too little bandwidth, rise times are improperly depicted. Use
the chart below to find the correct oscilloscope bandwidth for the devices you are
measuring.
