Forgive me but I am a little out of my depth here. I have been asked a question about and hand held oscilloscope and my own knowledge extends only to a multimeter at best! I have been left minding the shop for a couple of days and have had an inquiry into whether a certain oscilloscope would measure a 125 kHz signal. My current understanding is that the bandwidth and sampling rate indicate the scopes capabilities in this regard. However I am not sure if a scope has a lower limitation when it comes to frequency? For the sake of clarity I have reproduced the scope's specifications below. I would be grateful of any help.
40 MHz sampling rate
12 MHz analog bandwith
0.1 mV sensitivity
5mV to 20V/div in 12 steps
50ns to 1 hour/div time base in 34 steps
ultra fast full auto set up option
adjustable trigger level
X and Y position signal shift
DVM readout
audio, power calculation (rms and peak)
dBm, dBV, DC, rms ... measurements
signal markers for voltage and time
frequency readout (through markers)
recorder function (roll mode)
signal storage (2 memories)
high-resolution LCD 192x112 pixels
LCD backlight
galvanically separated USB output for PC
data or bitmap download to PC
different screen modes
normal screen view
wide screen with DVM
normal screen with large DVM
wide screen with large DVM
USB PC Connection real-time and screen capture
