| Analog storage oscilloscope | Digital storage oscilloscope |
|---|---|
| The analog storage oscilloscope has higher bandwidth and writing speed. | The digital storage oscilloscope has lower bandwidth and writing speed than analog storage oscilloscope. |
| In analog storage oscilloscope, CRT is expansive than digital storage oscilloscope. | In digital storage oscilloscope, CRT is much cheaper. |
| There is no such digital memory is present. | Because of digital memory, digital storage oscilloscope capable of an infinite storage time. |
| It cannot operate with a constant CRT refresh time. | It can operate with a constant CRT refresh time. |
| It gives lower resolution than digital storage oscilloscope. | It gives higher resolution because of analog to digital converter used in it. |
| It is not capable for operating in a look back mode. | It is also capable of operating in a look back mode as describe for waveform recorders. |
