Your new Nicolet Pro Series digital oscilloscope allows you to digitize analog input signals, store the digitized signals in memory and view them on the display screen. The displayed waveforms can then be used to measure time and voltage values (or any other units you assign to the numeric readouts), manipulate the waveforms either internally in the Pro series or send it to an external computer, return it to the instrument for additional inspections and then send it to a printer for a hard copy. The major operational differences between the digitizers are the sampling rates (Time-per-point) and the voltage levels (Volts range). These differences are brought to your attention when applicable. The examples in this manual typically use the 12 bit, 10 MS/s digitizers.
