   Oscilloscope have many unique feature due to which users can take the advantage of only a small fraction of the powerful features available to them. Digital storage oscilloscopes have many types which are different from one another in term of form factor (stand-alone, PXI, VXI, PCI, etc), resolution (8-bit, 12-bit, 16-bit, etc), acquisition rates (1 MS/sec, 1 GS/sec, 40 GS/sec, etc), functionality (advanced triggering, deep memory, self-calibration, etc.) and many other. An important differentiation of true oscilloscopes from most PC-based is to have the modular digitizer’s ability and the algorithms which are used to complete the measurements. Vertical-axis measurements examine the vertical component of the applied signal. These measurements most often tell a signal in terms of a voltage level. Although, they can also correspond to current, power, or any other physical phenomena converted to voltage through a transducer. Some general vertical-axis measurements include Amplitude, Peak-To-Peak, Average, and RMS measurements. The oscilloscope’s measurements effect greatly if its resolution have some problem .Oscilloscope measurements can be classified into the following three categories:
   • Vertical-Axis
   • Horizontal-Axis
   • Frequency-Domain

   What it measures depends on where you place the probes.
   
   The time constant is set by the user; it does not depend on probe placement.

   Your question still makes no sense.
   
   A scope measures voltage, not a component.
   
   What time constant? what component?
   
   for the second time, TYPE IT CORRECTLY AND PERHAPS IT CAN BE ANSWERED!
