Well very interesting. You’re getting me excited to learn how to use my 1950s Heathkit oscilloscope. Thanks for doing the videos you do. I’m learning a lot.
I had an old Eico 460 that I got when I was first learning electronics. I gave it to Goodwill because I was never going to mess with electronics again. Now look at me. I can’t get enough. Anyway I never really used it. Just played with the different controls. Thanks Art. Keep warm this winter.
This was a fun review, I enjoyed watching it. I've been considering this DSO152 ( maybe the DS211) for several weeks, possibly as an alternative to the AES uScope for quick automotive diags. The uScope boasts of a 12-bit analog/digital converter, do you know how this compares to your DSO152? Thanks.
I don’t think this could compare to the Uscope but I think you could use this as a good diagnostic tool. I bought a lot of Snap On Tools in my day and the Craftsman tools were a pretty good alternative. And could save some good money. What I’m trying to say is if you can use this why spend the extra unless you need it for something specific or you just want to treat yourself. Couldn’t find anything about the AD converter for this but it does have 2.5mS/s sampling. I bought a Fluke 88 back in the late 1980s when they were all the rage. Sorry about all the babbling, this just took me back to the good old days of turning wrenches.
Nice video. I bought this to test power inverters for pure against modified sine wave @ 110v AC and am wondering what the setting would be to test? I've been playing around with it a little but really have no idea what I'm doing.
The frequency for a typical power inverter is 60 Hertz or Cycles per Second in the US and 50 Hertz in many other places. Most inexpensive inverters don’t create a true sine wave, but something similar to a square wave. For sound equipment or sensitive electronics go with one that creates a sine wave. I use mine for wall wart type of charger (like a computer charger) so Im not at worried about a pure sine wave.
