An oscilloscope includes at least one demonstration signal generator integrated as part of the oscilloscope. The demonstration signal generator generates stimulus signals that consist of digital samples of various different stored waveforms without the need of a separate demonstration board or signal source. The demonstration signal generator may loop through different sections of the stored waveforms to generate respective stimulus signals that include sequences of digital samples from the different waveforms in combination, to provide a broad range of stimulus signals. The stimulus signals may be displayed on the oscilloscope or output from the oscilloscope as demonstration mode stimulus signals to demonstrate the capabilities of the oscilloscope to customers or for training.
