Ok but there is still a lot a DSO can do that an analog scope can't. Analog scopes are for people who have very specific needs DSOs are more general purpose and much better for the hobbiest. What's ther aversion to DSOs all about?
In my experience the reverse is the case.
DSOs have promised much for many years,& only recently have they delivered on that promise.
Earlier generations were very "clunky" in operation,so they were only appropriate for some work where their particular characteristics were useful.
It's not the case any more, I don't have much money so I wanted an oscilloscope that does as much as possible and that takes up as little room as possible and a device that doesn't limit what I can do very much so I went for a DSO, as my requirement meant I had to catch runt pulses and look at noise. You can't do either of these with a CRO
"Runt" pulses,no.but noise?------What do think we used before DSOs existed?
And this wasn't just in a home Lab,but in Industry,where it had to work!
Hypothetical:- You have a pulse train at around 15kHz PRF.
High frequency components are up to 5MHz.
You need to see if your signal has 50Hz hum on it.
What does your display look like when you are set to around 5ms/div to show the hum?
Many modern DSOs can do this,but some can't,as their sampling rate reduces,giving aliasing problems.
None of the early generation DSOs could do it-----all CROs made since around 1947 can!
