From the Publisher
This new edition covers the latest improved models, including digital storage oscilloscopes, digital sampling oscilloscopes, time-domain reflectometers for use on metallic and optical transmission systems, and ultra high-speed single-shot event recorders. Other topics mentioned include the use of x/y and x/t plotters, thermal and dot matrix printers etc (whether built in or otherwise) as oscilloscope hardcopy output devices, and the use of personal computers with expansion cards providing oscilloscope or logic analyzer facilities. Ian Hickman is one of the pen-names used by a professional electronics engineer of many years experience. Ian Hickman, BSc Hons, CEng, MIEE, MIEEE, is a present and sometime member of various national and international standards committees concerned with equipment and systems level applications of electronics and communications.
