Spectrum analyzers are used for a wide variety of purposes, one of which is their ability to allow a user to 'see' sound. A graphical display or representation of sound has been a goal long sought after by musicians and instrument producers alike. Because all sound produces waves which in turn can cause the vibration of another object, the earliest methods to try and see the timbre of sound involved carefully analyzing the vibrational frequency of that object - typically by reflecting light off of it and watching that light on another surface. This method works fine for single sounds, but quickly breaks down whenever there are sounds that are producing more than one frequency all at the same time. Spectrum analyzers, on the other hand, allo...

The Rigol DS1052D: Made More Accurate with the Logic Analyser Module
An oscilloscope is a device used to measure the strength and frequency of an electrical pulse, given off by one of a number of machines or mechanisms, from the human heart to an automotive ignition system. There has been much progress in the technology of these measurement devices over the years, including more accurate results and easier to read displays, making the interpretations of these results more accurate as well.
