Analog Waveform Monitors 8

 

A video monitor is used to judge the quality of an image. Electronic measuring tools known as oscilloscopes are used to measure the video signal itself. There are two types of oscilloscopes used to measure the signal, the waveform monitor and the vectorscope (Figure 8.1). This chapter covers the analog waveform monitor.
