Why do digital oscilloscopes appear noisier than traditional analog oscilloscopes?
Dave busts the myth that digital scopes are noiser than analog scopes, and demonstrates what inherent advantages digital scopes can have over analog scopes in terms of true waveform capture. And also why your analog scope may be hiding important signal detail from you.
Demonstrations of how memory depth, analog bandwidth, averaging, and intensity graded displays can all effect the signal detail you see on your digital oscilloscope.
And how long exposure camera shots on analog oscilloscopes can reveal detail you can't see with your eyes.
Demonstrations are done on the new Tektronix MDO3000, the Rigol DS1052E, the Tektronix TDS220, and Tektronix 2225 analog oscilloscope.

Oh, stay in darkness for half an hour or so, like you would for stargazing. Then look at an analog scope with the brightness juuust high enough to see. It's just amazing how much information you can see. I found it interesting with music on the scope. You could see all sorts of details that are invisible under normal light.

My Rigol 1054Z shows the same consistent noise as the one Dave got a few years after he made this video. I've managed to determine that this "noise" is a 250MHz sawtooth wave about 10mV p-p; it isn't random. I'm not sure if it's sampling noise introduced by the ADC or switching noise from the power supply riding one of the voltage rails; either way, it seems to me this is something that could have been snubbed in hardware or filtered out in software. So high above its specified 50MHz bandwidth; you'd think the designers wouldn't want it showing up on a trace.

With the money they charge for modern scopes, why cant they put a 2560x1600 display on them and get closer to around 260-300ppi? I high pixel density display on a smartphone of around 5 inches, is often around $50 With oscilloscope companies getting number happy and charging nation state bankrupting prices for their scopes, they should at least be including a high resolution display.

The asic doing all the signal processing from memory is in essence also producing the waveform display. The asic is the limiting factor for display resolution. Accommodating a larger resolution would mean the entire asic would need to be an order of magnitude more powerful. Besides, if the ADC is doing 8bit conversion, you'll only get 256 lines of vertical position. Increasing the resolution does not increase the adc bitrate

But it will allow for less graphical aliasing of the lines. Think of it like when you move from a 1920x1080 display to a display that may be only 1-2 inches larger but the resolution is 2560x1600, and you suddenly don't need enable antialiasing, (or at most, only need around 2X antialiasing in order to make things smooth. The points of data making up the waveform or anything else being displayed may not increase, but things will look smoother. It will also make the text and other GUI elements look much better, or allow for more efficient use of the screen space, by making smaller GPU elements that are still easily readable. For the prices these companies charge for high end scopes, they should throw in a R9 290x while they are at it, just so it can drive the display a little better, and also mine bitcoin while you are while you are using the scope.

Razor2048 It's not aliasing, the asic displays only absolute data points (data events that it registered and stored). Each pixel on the display is an actual data point (or combination thereof). Interpolating your data is the same as data manipulation.. You use an oscilloscope to get answers, not to get pretty interpolated lines. You can compare this to upscaling photos from a 1.2mpixel webcam to 5mpixel. With some smart algorithms and aliasing, you can probably get the image to look nicer, but it's not giving you more information

Kevo F I think Tektronix has a couple of 12 bit oscilloscopes, maybe also 16 bit but I'm not sure. They're not really necessary, thus not very popular. With increased bit depth, you lower your noise floor, but decrease sampling speed (and probably increase costs). With increased bit depth, you also make quantification a bit better. It's not very common that the noise floor interfered with what you use the scope for. And an oscilloscope is by nature not a quantification platform, even if it is possible to do that

Could have been a great video but those no signal tests should have been done with terminated inputs on the scopes aka grounding caps. Is the noise we see being picked up by the little BNC stub in the female socket on the scope? It's high enough frequency noise that the connector probably makes a good antenna. Or is the noise from the A/D converters or numerous processors in the digital scope. Without grounding the inputs all the data is invalid.

Actual AC RMS input noises I've just measured @ 5, 10, and 20 mV/div: - Tektronix 454 (150 MHz, on Ch1 output): 60, 80, and 110 uV - Keysight DSOX1102G (2 GS/s, 70 MHz) : 120, 180, and 400 uV - Siglent SDS1204X-E (1 GS/s, 200 MHz) : 120, 50, and 400 uV The strange (and strongly varying) result on Siglent at 10 mV/div is the result of quantization error. The thermal noise rarely reached the threshold of 1 LSB, therefore it was truncated to 0 too often to get a correct measurement. And this is exactly the reason why noise of a digital oscilloscope must be higher than one of an analog equivalent.

Its interesting that digital osc's have done exactly what digital cameras have done. As time passes they get higher and higher resolution and now have extremely high resolution. I come from the old school of film and large format. Digital is the only way to go now.! The difference however, is that film started with higher resolution and digital cameras had to catch up. Additionally, osc' s try to emulate there analog counterparts. The same thing happened to digital cameras emulating film.

If they were all lined up in a row, the 5102BM would appear "noisier" than the M, and the M would appear "noisier" than the P?

Some advice please dave,if given the choice of the FNIRSI 1014D or Hantek DSO2000,for audio work on valve/tube stuff,and the fact you want to use the display to give a good account of Fhz and Vpk-pk to use as calibration for your Farnell LFM4 sig genny. The only digital i envisage would be pwm for on either boost converters using an inductor or a push pull transformer type for HT supply,otherwise for flip flop switch control for channel sellection. I can't get anything on ebay or local with screen display measurements accurate enough(trace) to do any calibration,and Fhz meters on sale used may need calibration anyway,plus the scope has i have has one channel fully working with one channels V/div not working on some settings,i can repair it as the y amp has to be working,but the V divider must be faulty(i assume). So chasing my tail trying to find accurate pk-pk voltages and Fhz would require more test gearwhen a DSO seems to have self test and Fhz and signal voltages on screen. Both the DSO units are under £200 on ebay have a guarantee and seem the best candidates for what i want,but which would you go for,as the cash difference is only £50. Johnamptech in Scotland, Cheers.

I bought a Hantek digital DSO5202B 100 Mhz scope some years (9) ago when Silicon Chip paid me for an article. I find I still prefer my many Tektronix analogue CRO's to do most servicing work and it's not about the perceived noise. I am in general not looking for a random event but signals that are repetitive so a digital storage scope does not usually help me. I bought the instrument in order to capture pictures of waveforms to include with electronics articles. I believe in some procedures the analogue scope does a better job.

So given all the visible noise on digital Scylla scopes, how does one differentiate between a noisy audio amplifier stage and the noise in the aucilla scope? With my analogue 20 to 65B, I can see if an amplifier stages putting out a pure sine wave or has some noise on it. But these scopes have noise on the sine wave no matter how clean they are. And the other problem is the low resolution of these displays exacerbates the noise I think that's the real reason why these scopes look noisier. These displays in 2020 should be able to show 300 points per inch Just like our smartphones do. It's ridiculous that and over $10000 instrument is stuck in 1990 as far as display resolution.

I wish i could have what you have, Teckronix oscilloscope. Might get Hantek or Rigol for me.

It's not the analog oscilloscope that 'hides' the actual noise that IS in your signal, nor is it your eye, it's your how your brain processes images that's 'hiding' the noise. Actually the analog scope seems to be representing the noise much more accurately, it just doesn't bother to fake that noise into appearing longer than it actually does in an attempt to give your brain's slow image processing a chance to catch up, the digits that light up around the line in the digital scopes stay there for 10s to 100s of milliseconds even though that anomaly it's representing is long gone, so if you really want to get down to it, the digital scope lies to you about the signal more than the analog scope, but it does so in order for you to be able to see the truth or rather a closer representation of the truth than your actually capable of seeing... so in the digital scopes defense I'd say it's not the scopes fault your slow, but at least it tries to compensate. And in the analog scopes defense, I'd say it's not the scopes fault your too slow to see it, at least I showed you the noise for the tiny fraction of time it was there, but I'm busy capturing tons of info, I don't have time to make up for the fact that you can't see something that was only there for like a millisecond or two. Also I think the time lapsed analog was way more beautiful to look at than the digital scopes representation of the actual noise that does exist... now I want to design an analog scope that has a time lapsed display feature, that would be awesome. Granted I'm speculating a lot here but I feel it's mostly common sense concluded/drawn from the evidence you are providing.

Whether you want to call it noise or not, doesn't all the extra sensitivity of digital scopes interfere with how we read the waveforms?

You sould make a shoot out on intensity grading and color corrected temperature grading, as its not soemthing many vendors are that op0en about the levels of intensity grading and even then it can vare a lot from one scope to the next intensity grading and CCT is features I personally use a lot.

Hmm ... I've got both an old analogue and a modern digital scope (Siglent SDS1202X) and have noticed this same effect. But all the scopes in the video are set to 1 volt / division and on the digital scopes we're seeing 'noise' of about 1/20 of a division. That equates to 50 mv. Full screen deflection is 8 divisions or 8 volts. So the noise is 160th of the full screen, give or take. You might expect something like this with an 8 bit A/D converter. So maybe the problem is insufficient resolution. Certainly, when I use my Siglent in the single trace mode to capture a one-off event, you can see the digitalisation and it's about that magnitude. Also, there is nothing connected to any of the scopes. I would like to see them with the inputs shorted to ground, just in case they're picking up external noise.

21:40 - "Low shutter speed" should actually be "high(her) shutter speed". And "as you increase" should be "as you decrease". A 1-second shutter is (fifty times) slower than 1/50th of a second shutter, so you're decreasing the shutter speed (or increasing the exposure time).
