Powerscope is an instrument used for displaying power circuit waveforms while analyzing high voltage areas. It has features like a wide measurement range, compact design, light weight, and safety provisions. The input signal is attenuated before being amplified. It has two channels that are switched at 100KHz. The vertical and horizontal deflection systems provide calibrated sweeps from 50mV/div to 500V/div and 0.5s/div to 0.2s/div respectively. Triggering can be from internal, external or line sources. Powerscopes are useful for measuring power, efficiency and transients that regular oscilloscopes cannot.
