Splitting the Grid
The Effect Of Multiple Display Grids on Signal Integrity
Modern digitizing oscilloscopes
use ADCs to convert real-world
signals into discrete digitized
values. Most oscilloscopes con-
tain 8-bit ADCs. This corre- 7 bits

maximized when using the full 7 bits
dynamic range of the ADC.
