    Thank you for your tutorials! its very generous of people like you to volunteer their time and knowledge to help people become more educated. its free to educate yourself with the internet (well almost) but it takes someone putting it online for others!

    👍🏻 Excellent presentation! Thank you.
    I recently had a CVA (stroke) and lost nearly all of my memory / memories.
    Hardest hit were tech matters, so I’m try to regain much of that which was lost.
    This was great and I’m about to head back to your channel to look for dB explanation and spectrum analyzer use.
    And.. hopefully duplexer and filter tuning with a spectrum analyzer with tracking generator.
    Thanks again.

    You turned something that looked so complicated into something useful and that makes perfect sense. The zoom analogy sinched it for me. Brilliant. Thank you so much. I’m buying one

    In my first college course in the mid 90s we had to do a electronics class. Never could get into it and we had to use an oscilloscope at one point and I just never understood them. Remember them from school in the late 80s and these hadn't appeared to have changed in college. They were still the analogue scopes that, for me, just seemed really old fashioned and put me off. Roll on over 2 decades later and I discover digital oscilloscopes and have wanted one ever since. No idea how to use but they look so much more interesting than the old analogue ones. And seeing people who know how to use them make them interesting.

  • @leybraith3561
    @leybraith3561 Год назад +5

    For those confused on how to display slow moving voltages such as charging capacitors as discussed here, I eventually discovered you need to switch the instrument to 'ROLL' mode or in the case of XYTRON oscilloscopes- "SCAN" mode.

  • @soundcog

    The video is an excellent introduction to Oscilloscopes. Thank you for taking the time to enable those of us who are interested in electronics get a footing on why an oscilloscope is a necessary tool to have.

    You have a skill, that being how well you can explain something to novices. I've watched several "beginner" videos as I'm getting my first scope later today and this is the first one I watched where I actually was able to follow along very well. Thank you very much. I definitely subscribed and definitely hit the thumbs up.

    Did many variations on taylor, fourier, and maclaurin series in first year calculus lab and had no idea of their practical application until i saw this video. I also recall engineering grad students discussing my models and didn't understand why. Now I know. Thanks for your videos.

  • @jeffcurrie4885
    @jeffcurrie4885 3 года назад +1

    Im in auto diagnostics and this helps alot. The firing of plugs, injection of fuel, time between these two things alone is a major factor in finding a problem that normally would be very hard to detect. OBD diagnostics with fuel trims uses alot of these formulas. Fantastic. Thank you

I have bought an oscilloscope very similar to yours (Hantek DS02D15) and thanks to you I now have a good idea how to use it. Keep up the good work and once again Thank You.

    Very good video. At my university there is no course about how to use oscilloscope. So basically when I ended up in lab, teacher told just told me: "Here is an oscilloscope which all of you already know, so do your work", but I've never worked with those kind of devices. So thx for this video.

    Thank you for this wonderful introductory tutorial; it is exactly what I needed. I look forward to viewing the more advanced one to which you alluded. What makes it especially nice is that the scope I bought appears to be virtually identical to the one you are using in the video. Your well thought out presentation made it effortless and enjoyable to follow and I'm now looking forward to the new vistas having a scope will enable me to explore in electronics. Thanks so much !
