Why 7M wfms/s Matters for Capturing Rare Signal Glitches
Capturing Rare Signal Glitches is critical in signal analysis, as intermittent events like spikes or transients can hide in plain sight — especially on slower oscilloscopes. That’s where the waveform update rate becomes a game-changer. The HANMATEK AHO814 smart touchscreen oscilloscope delivers an impressive 7 million waveforms per second (7M wfms/s), giving engineers the best chance of capturing rare signal glitches before they cause real problems.
The Hidden Challenge: Rare Glitches & Dead Time
Most glitches are unpredictable and extremely brief. Traditional oscilloscopes with low update rates spend much of their time in “dead time,” processing and displaying data instead of actively detecting new signals. During this downtime, rare events often go unseen, making capturing rare signal glitches difficult.
A low update rate might miss a glitch entirely, while a high update rate like 7M wfms/s dramatically increases the probability of capture. With the AHO814, engineers can continuously monitor signals, ensuring that even fleeting anomalies are detected. This high-speed performance is essential for capturing rare signal glitches in power supplies, digital circuits, and serial bus communications, where every transient counts.
See the difference: a high update rate oscilloscope like the AHO814 successfully catches intermittent glitches while slower models fail to detect them — making it the tool of choice for any professional focused on accurate and reliable signal analysis.
