Can someone explain me how does a high speed signal is displayed in low refresh rate of LCD in modern oscilloscope ? |
| ataradov:
The signal is captured in the memory and then shown on the display. There are gaps between captures. That's why you get a characteristic like waveforms/second. |

All the processing makes this possible given a certain bandwidth specification of the scope. If it's not triggered and the horizontal time/div is not set right, then it will look like a mess. Maybe if that is not the answer you are looking for someone else will be along to assist you better. :) Edit: Oh Ataradov got to it first. |

So what might be the time delay between signal captured and signal displayed on lcd ? |

But it also depends on your time scale. You can set 10 sec/div and see the signal with your eyes in real time. |
