Re: [neonixie-l] oscilloscope blues
Hello Shane, that depends a little on the scope I would say. Is it digital, is it analog, does it have a built-in logic analyzer, does it weigh 5 tons or 100g? ;-) For the basic ideas, this is one of the first links that Google lists: http://www.doctronics.co.uk/scope.htm Regards, Jens Does anyone here, know of a good I have an oscilloscope, but don't have a clue how to use it guide? I have had it for over a year, and now that I'm getting into more programming, analog/digital, and logic circuits, I need to figure it out. Any help?

Re: [neonixie-l] oscilloscope blues
It's a Tenma 72-320. I assume it's analog, by the age, and weight. It's got a handle on top, and weighs about ten pounds. Thanks for the info, I'll check that out.

Shane The best way is to start poking the probe into low-voltage circuits, to see what's there. Of course, a knowledge of the circuit diagram could be helpful. Back when I was a tiny tot, there were these things called television sets, containing tubes and/or transistors. A company called SAMS made these wonderful repair guides called Photo-Fact schematic folders. They had dozens of oscilloscope traces printed right on the schematic diagrams, indicating what signal waveform and size to expect on each stage of the circuit. They also had photos of the chassis (PC boards or point-to-point wiring) calling out every component and every waveform's test point. But these were television sets full of yummy high voltage, and the danger of getting a big shock or blowing up the scope probe was palpable. -- David Forbes, Tucson AZ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.

Or the manuals from Tektronix equipment from the 70s and into the 80s. Have to say it was pretty cool to have a manual that included schematics, a pretty full theory of operation, and service info. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.
