At the end of this course, the user should be able to select an appropriate NI oscilloscope and probes for their measurement needs. They should then be able to set up their oscilloscope device and perform both interactive and programmatic measurements of their DUT. In addition, they will be able to ensure the accuracy of their measurements and operate with other instruments in the system.
