Why 7M wfms/s Matters for Capturing Rare Signal Glitches
In the world of signal analysis, rare events like intermittent glitches, 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 you the best chance to catch those elusive anomalies 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 most of their time in "dead time" — processing and displaying data instead of actively looking for new signals. During this downtime, rare events simply go unseen.
A low update rate might miss the glitch entirely, while a high rate like 7M wfms/s dramatically increases your probability of capture.
See the difference: this classic illustration shows how a high update rate oscilloscope successfully catches an intermittent glitch while a slower one misses it completely:
Real-World Capture of Elusive Events
With 7M wfms/s, the AHO814 continuously samples the input at blazing speed, making it ideal for debugging power supplies, serial buses, high-speed digital circuits, and any system prone to occasional anomalies.
Here are examples of oscilloscopes capturing rare spikes and glitches — the kind of events the AHO814 is engineered to reveal reliably:
