Power supply specifications include a large number of load dependent parameters including output regulation and ripple. LeCroy oscilloscopes offer an advanced math function called trending which allows the easy measurement of these types of specifications. LeCroy Application Briefs LAB 422 and 725 describe these measurements. LeCroy oscilloscopes, such as the Waverunner series, are ideal for measuring and analyzing mechanical vibration and related phenomena. Long acquisition memory, SmartTriggers, and extensive math and analysis functions are well suited for the demands of mechanical measurements.
Oscilloscopes principally measure voltage and time.
Measuring other electrical quantities, as a function of time, requires the use a transducer which converts the measured quantity into voltage. The Rescale math function in LeCroy Digital Oscilloscopes enables the users to convert this measurement into the proper units. LeCroy Application Brief LAB 427 shows how to use the rescale function to change from Volts into other units of measurement. I need to measure real and apparent power. Oscilloscopes measure current and voltage and through the magic of mathematics calculate power.
