Post by: Doc B. on October 15, 2009, 08:18:55 AM

Here's a pretty good primer on how an oscilloscope works and what kinds of things you can measure.

Doc,

Thanks for posting this.  I passed the link on to all the students in my lab (graduate students in a neuroscience program) as they often seem to have oscilloscope questions.

(puts old curmudgeon hat on...)
 These damn kids aren't used to turning knobs, just clicking on fake buttons with a mouse on these newfangled computer gizmos...
(... off with the curmudgeon getup).

The link in Doc's post above is dead.

New link to the download page for the document: https://www.tek.com/document/online/primer/xyzs-scopes/ch1/oscilloscope-basics (https://www.tek.com/document/online/primer/xyzs-scopes/ch1/oscilloscope-basics)

Very helpful information.
