Yes.Hi. I'm looking for some basic info on Oscilloscopes to help understand testing equipment.
If multiple signals are connected to a OS ,does it show the different waves combined into one wave?
On scopes with multiple channels, you have one trace per channel. My scope can have up to 8 for analog and up to 16 for digital (logic analyzer plug-in).If multiple signals are connected to a OS ,does it show the different waves combined into one wave?
The signals picked up by an antenna are in μV ranges. The input to the scope goes as low as mV. You are not going to see much except 60Hz line pickup.I really don't have a specific thing I want to do but know how a OS would behave.
What if a one channel OS is connected to a antenna? With out a filter or something the OS is going to be subjected to multiple frequencies. As a OS cannot sepparate the different frequencies ,I would assume that it represents it in one wave that is a combination of the separate frequencies and or waves. Overlapping waves for example would have to be combined into a single wave.
It would be helpful if you used the usual and customary terminology. You could call it a scope, but OS has other meanings (Operating System always comes to mind first for me).would the OS show a single wave with a combined voltage?
This really is spectrum analyser territory however the modern DSO with good FFT can identify the individual signals and express them in amplitude.I really don't have a specific thing I want to do but know how a OS would behave.

I love Latin.It would be helpful if you used the usual and customary terminology. You could call it a scope, but OS has other meanings (Operating System always comes to mind first for me).
To satisfy my curiosity, I searched for meanings of OS. There were 115 and oscilloscope wasn't among them. The top three were:

By deduction OS can only mean oscilloscope.....not really that hard to type.I live Latin.

What happens when the OS has an OS? How would a OS behave?By deduction OS can only mean oscilloscope.....not really that hard to type.

OS is not commonly understood to mean oscilloscope. Until today, I don't think I've ever seen OS used to refer to a scope. CRO maybe, but not OS.By deduction OS can only mean oscilloscope.....not really that hard to type.
I've seen OS being used in ancient times before but it's not common today and would definitely need a signal measurement context to make the connection. My first CRO was a OS-8 that's still at my mom's house in Texas.OS is not commonly understood to mean oscilloscope. Until today, I don't think I've ever seen OS used to refer to a scope.

If you're tempted to use O-scope, just use scope; it's easier to type. The people I worked with just called them scopes. Scope probe, scope cart, scope camera, just scope...
