eye measurements
Having the right amount of oscilloscope bandwidth ensures accurate measurements. If you have too much bandwidth,
oscilloscope noise becomes a contributor in your measurement. With too little bandwidth, rise times are improperly depicted.
Use the chart below to find the correct oscilloscope bandwidth for the devices you are measuring.
