Digitizers at least 16 bits

12-bit digitizer instead of an 8-bit digitizer to acquire a waveform provide greater fidelity. With an 8-bit digitizer, 256 voltage levels are available to define the wave shape when 12-bits digitizers offer 65536 distinct voltage levels, a great improvement in resolution
