Sampling oscilloscopes do not capture a whole waveform in one shot. Instead they are simpler, and work with repetitive waveforms only, using a fast sampling gate at a relatively slow sampling rate to build up a waveform one sample at a time. As such, they are suited to displaying the shape of high-speed waveforms, particularly …
