To capture glitches you need speed!
Nyquist said that a signal must be sampled at least twice as fast as its
highest frequency component to accurately reconstruct it and avoid aliasing
(undersampling). Nyquist however is an absolute minimum – it applies only
to sine waves, and assumes a continuous signal. Glitches are by definition
not continuous, and sampling at only twice the rate of the highest frequency
component is not enough.
Consider a higher-performance oscilloscope
Most entry-level scopes have a maximum sample rate of 1 to 2GS/S. If you are looking at
frequencies above 200MHz, you’ll be happy to own a higher-performance instrument.
