Equivalent–time sampling (ETS)
Equivalent–time sampling (ETS)
D.E.V.I.C.E. is an encyclopedia of terms used by manufacturers of test and measurement equipment. T&M Atlantic created this service to better explain the functionality of instruments it offers, and to highlight the latest developments in the world of measurement equipment. We are using such tools as animation to bring words and pictures to life and to create not just an understanding but also an appreciation for technology that goes into the design of every instrument.

Most Digital Storage Oscilloscopes (DSOs) feature equivalent–time sampling (ETS). ETS allows a digital oscilloscope to capture high–frequency signals with a much higher effective sampling rate.
Equivalent–time sampling works by constructing a picture of the input signal by accumulating the samples over many wave cycles. Because ETS samples the waveform over a number of cycles it can only be used to measure signals that are repetitive. ETS cannot be used for single–shot or non–repetitive signals.
