Abstract
An oscilloscope comprises a first channel that includes a first channel physical input adapted to receive a first input signal, and a first channel digitizer connectable to the first channel physical input. The oscilloscope comprises a second channel that includes a second channel physical input adapted to receive a second input signal, and a second channel digitizer connected to the second channel physical input. The oscilloscope comprises a switch to change the first channel digitizer from connecting to the first channel physical input, to connecting to the second channel physical input. The oscilloscope includes a combiner to combine an output of the first channel digitizer and an output of the second channel digitizer, when a high bandwidth mode is activated, to generate an output that has a bandwidth of frequency content that exceeds a bandwidth of the first digitizer and exceeds a bandwidth of the second channel digitizer.
