Finding an asynchronous glitch is hard on an analog scope.


It is to a major extent reproduceable, though, Phil. I can manually
override the ramp and set a voltage which will show up a glitch in the
frequency domain, which is a useful plus. You reckon it would be
better to use a DSO for this? I do have one.


Frequency domain glitch? You mean a discrete spur?

A glitch is a transient time-domain animal. A DSO can save a single
instance, or (with averaging) ignore the noise and asynchronous
background and just reproduce the glitch itself.
