Oscilloscope Fun and Learning

Post by JMPGuitars »

I recently got a cool demo board from Batronix to improve my oscilloscope skills.

The demo board has been a fantastic learning tool, and I learned a lot using it. Even basic triggering tools I didn't know about that makes life easier.

Here's some of the tests results from my scope:

This was the setup for the digital (MSO) tests I did using a $40 DIY version of the logic probe.

Your setup looks like equipment to keep a man alive on intensive care 😎
But in that case the probe is somewhat worrying me

I learned a few more tricks today with acquisition, bit depth, and display controls:

That is pretty cool. I think I am going to get one as well. I never really messed much with scopes outside of following signals through an amp and looking at blocking distortion on my 18watt. I could use a skills lesson or two.
