 +Digital storage oscilloscopes can store a waveform for you to pan around and zoom into later.
 +Waveforms can also be exported as files for processing in your own software.
 +Their disadvantages include
 +limited vertical resolution (they typically use 8-bit D/A converters),​
 +aliasing (a problem with any digital system that samples analogue waveforms),
 +and poor X-Y mode performance (used for analysing phase differences,​ channel separation, etc.).

 +Like analogue multimeters,​ analogue oscilloscopes react faster to input changes than digital ones.
 +They also have much better vertical resolution and can show finer details in the signal.
 +Their disadvantages are that they cannot store or export a signal for later inspection or analysis, and they cannot perform the same range of mathematical analyses as a digital oscilloscope.
