Oscilloscope question...


 

Hi,

I need some help from experts.
I have possibility to have handheld oscilloscope from Velleman.
There is two models:
HPS10 and HPS40
The difference betveen these two is maximum sample rate ( 10MHz versus 40MHz ).
And also HPS40 have adjustable trigger level ( in 8 steps ).

My need is check encoder pulses ( TTL and Differential 5V ) and DC voltage riple.

Any advise which one I should get?
HPS40 is more expensive but is HPS10 enough for use I descripe above?

Regards Mika

If you can afford it get the HPS-40. The main limitation on any scope is the
sample rate. Eventually you will want to debug a problem that requires a
higher sample rate.

The other reason is that although the frequency you are looking at can be
handled by the 10MHz scope, you may say, have a glitch or noise whose
duration is shorter than the sample rate of the 10MHz scope.

Cheers,

Hello Mika,

No question, go with the higher sampling rate. I started with a
20Mhz and now I have a 100Mhz looking after a 200Mhz. The reason why
is because the osciloscope is a tool to "see" what is happening as
you know, but what if you don?t "see" the noise, for example in
the
step & dir lines. My personal oppinion is not to start with less
than 60Mhz. About the triggering features the more the best you will
find yourself playing with them to find the disturbing peak in the
line.

Luis.
