HEY YOU ABOUT TO POST SOMETHING STUPID:
Yes, I know my hands are large/fat. It's because of a heart condition I suffer from called Congestive Heart Failure. Here's a link to some information about CHF: cle.clinic/2TdS2Ux
One of the symptoms is that is causes fluid retention, mostly in the hands, feet/ankles, and face.
It will kill me one day. I'm doing ok right now, but someday...

Has anyone told you you are a great teacher/explainer? I am an absolute oscilliscope noob, and appreciated your explanation of its basics.
Good luck with your surgery and wish you a speedy recovery. That was a great video about scopes, especially for us newbies, who are learning how to make them run. Thanks again Paul.
Wish you the best for the up coming surgery. I remember how my father looked like with kidney stones... And if you are a good boy at the hospital, maybe they will plug an oscilloscope on you, "ground first as always".
isn't an EKG machine basically an Oscilloscope set for human Voltages?:)
Wish u speed recovery Paul. Your videos are very informative to best of your ability.
Paul, hope to see you back soon. May your recovery Good smooth and quick. Thank you for sharing this video with us. We all can use your knowledgebase. I hope you continue this type of equipment training. God's speed, stay well my brother. Joel
Fantastic, man. Thanks a lot! 😊
I hope everything goes well with the surgery! Get better soon!!!
Never had anybody explain the intricacies of Oscopes whilst half in the wrapper, but you did a commendable job.
I'm watching it and will rewatch it. That Hantek scope is on my shortlist for my first digital scope.
Well done. And you should be.
Really enjoying these oscilloscope videos. Nice job Paul and good luck with your surgery.
Wow! That was excellent! You have a knack for explaining things very clearly (which means you understand). That was just the right amount of detail and the topics covered were perfect for getting started. Thank you and I wish you the best!
thank you for your clarification of the functions of the scope, it was a bit to take in but we can reference it when needed. Stay well, will look for more of your videos !
thank you so much, you really made this sound way too easy ... cannot thank you enough. God bless, and wish you had recovered .. i know this was back in 2019, but your work remains a lighthouse to those who needs it.
Get Better soon! great video as always!
Good info, thanks again ! Looking at my Goldstar os-7040 again now
You help a lot.
And yeah, I know a bit how it is when one is on drugs from the hospital, more then a year now ...
It's the one or the other.
You give hope and inspiration !
Wish you all the best with your operation and recovery.
Hou je taai ouwe !
Thanks so much. I am going to re-watch again later.
I'm just about to buy an oscilloscope, so this was very useful, thank-you. I hope the surgery went well and you are now in good health.
Paul,
Thanks for the detailed explination! That helps a lot!
Another video on examples of when a beginner would use one would also be great!
I second that recommendation. Why would a noob want to have a scope for scoping what sorts of circuits for what reasons? And what do they do about the measurements once they are procured. Stay very very basic.
Very helpful and slightly entertaining video, thanks for the clear explanations. I'm getting my first o-scope this week, so this is really going to help. Thanks!
Thanks for making this video; I hope you do more in-depth with measurement choices and methods. I've only had a scope for a month and still learning the very basics.
Thanks for this rundown summary, i do enjoy my usb hantek 😉 best of luck with your upcoming surgery. Catching up on some videos as i just got back from my vacay in Ocean City MD.
Best scope instruction video I have seen.
Very, very helpful. I liked the detail that you gave and answered a lot of questions I had.
This has been the best CZcams tutorial on this scope, so far.
Perfectly explained, especially for a beginner. Much appreciated!!
Hi Paul, first sorry you are in more pain. Regardless of the meds you definity put back on your professor hat. Very nice beginner course on the O-Scope. Take care Rick
Hi! As I pointed out in the video on Sync, this video is just excellent for the beginner, such as I am new to the type of scope. I also have the vintage Heathkit IO 4235 analog scope that I have been using. You have talked about the -3dB as concerning the frequency of this scope, also another area in which I have a hard time understanding, But you have help me to understand what this means. Thank you for this great video... Keep up the good work....
Thanks Paul. What a fantastic explaination! Thanks so much! Merry Cristmas, from Rome, in Italy!
Basics videos are my favourites! Cheers!
Hi! I just purchase on of these scopes and this video was just excellent, you have done a nice job explaining the features of this scope, I am very happy with this scope, thank you for sharing this with us. I also have an Heathkit IO-4235 scope that work just like new. Thank you again!!! Have a nice day!!
Very helpful! Thank you for the great video!
I experience a lot of the same health problems you do caused by a condition called systemic Lupus. I am male, so that makes my condition relatively rare (occurring in men roughly 10% of the time). What I’m getting at is functioning with these kinds of problems sucks and makes basic life function exponentially harder for us! I respect that regardless of your condition you pull forward anyway. I do the same (or try), but people like yourself are inspiring to me so thank you! Oh, and thanks for the great subject matter in you videos too, I learn a lot! Cheers!
Get well! Take care of yourself.
Good luck with the surgery, look forward to the video on hospital test equipment.
Thst could be fun
Thanks for a great Initial OS tutorial.
This guy is helpful, and entertaining
I know this is an old one, but just watched it and LOVED the "brought to you by percocet".
Thanks
All the best with your surgery. Looking forward to some electronic experiments with the stones your surgeon will save for you.
That was a very good tutorial on scopes for beginners, it really moved along but everything needed was included. I’m very impressed. Hope all goes well with that crappy kidney stone.
Thank you! Very helpful walkthrough!
Hiya Paul, Thanks for the much needed education! Love the way you descrbe things and find you very easy to understand. If you ever get the free time, is there any chance you could do a quick Vid on how to measure 'Phase' please? I make my own Metal detector coils and would love to be able to work out the phase shift between the TX coil and the RX coil but unfortunately there's not much information about on how to do this. The Oscilloscope I have is the Hantek DSO 5102P but I'm struggling to find tuitional material on how to use it properly,,the manual is still baffling me,,lol. Lookingforward to more of your Vids,,,,Good luck with your health for the future and best regards,,,Marty,,England.
Thanks for the vid. I bought a nice oscilloscope at a pawn shop and it's been a paperweight for a couple of years. I couldn't find any videos like this at the time. Most seemed to assume prior knowledge of which I had none. Still don't know how to measure a circuit and do anything useful with it. Couple that with the fact I don't have an isolation transformer to plug it into, which means I could apparently fry the thing as best as I understand it, therefore I'm reticent to play around with any ac signal or measure one on a circuit board. In short, my education on the subject is at a standstill. I'll be checking to see if you have more of these great beginner/dummies videos on your channel so hopefully one day I can do something useful with mine. Thanks again Paul.
Hope your kidney stone is all better, btw.
Just the video I need thanks!
Great content. Thanks
That was awesome. Thank you!
Many thanks for that Paul.. Just got a new Hantek scope (the first scope I've ever owned), and as you'll know there is 'no' book of instructions with it.. You're correct in saying it's a lot to take in , and appreciate you're going to do another tutorial, which I look forward to. Best of luck with the medics.. I have had kidney stones and infections and know what you must be feeling like right now.
Kidney stones are the worst I've ever felt.
@@learnelectronics Quite agree Paul.. Bloody awful.. The preceding kidney infections were bad enough I thought, but the stones were horrible and painful. Hope you're better soon and back making your excellent tutorial vids. Take care mate..
IMO you have the most fun(and really informative) electronics video on CZcams. Most everyone else is trite and boring. This is going to sound corny but you seem like you would be fun to hang with and talk shit. Thanks Paul.
Even more so while I'm medicated
Uncle Paul said or you'll blow shit up🤣🤣Better keep us updated on your surgery next Friday. You're in my prayers 🙏
This channel rocks!
Thanks!
Hi,
Can you please tell me How we measure AC voltage by oscilloscope like Hantek 6022BE ? why it shows offset AC signal and the altitude is only 102 V instead of 120 V? thanks for your reply.
I wish today's video was brought to us by a better microphone. You are killing us!
:D
its just the levels are a little high........like Paul!, lol. Thanks for the video Paul and wishing you the very best ahead.
@@englishrupe01 good one!
Hantek should pay you to include this video with their scope!!
Weeks ago, I got the same exact scope from my brother, and man, I wish I had this video back then.
9:03 I am sure you'll agree that they should have made turning off the dual window a little more intuitive!
Great tutorial. Can you please do a video on how to drive a quartz crystal like you have for your probe here? There is nothing worthwhile on CZcams but these crystals can be salvaged anywhere. I noticed you are using caps and resistors, but why and what are the values and the input voltage to drive the crystal. Thank you very much. Wish you great health.
Get well soon! love your videos , ignore the moaners about sound, its the content that matters and your on drugs ! :-)
Excellent tutorial, your Amazon shop link is not a hyperlink.
Hope your procedure goes well.
If you think it's hard to teach when you're on happy pain tablets, I'm trying to learn on the things.
For 30 years I've been promising myself a scope and today I finely ordered the Hantek DSO5102P.
This is going to be a humorous endeavour.
been into Electronics since 1985 it is bout time ya?
Thanks for the tutorial! How do you use the external trigger input? What's it for? I've never used it.
Lol pretty funny and instructional, I liked it
Very good sir, I've been watching your videos and I think you do a great job. Do a practical use for an oscilloscope IE why use it over a multimeter, what does it tell you more? Real uses to fault find circuits with actual problems. Hope your health is good. PS I got some drugs do same stuff to me for my back problems lol
I Was given a fluke 123. Handheld. Would this scope be ok to learn on.?
thanks
Thank you. 😁
Can you take screenshot with actual time attached in file image tags or meta data ?? Is there a way to install internal RTC ??
do they have a method for testing current with an oscope, such as some time of clamp on attachment or possibly a means of placing leads in series?
Yes you can use a current clamp
Which scope do u recommend for beginner ? Dso5102p or Dso 2c10 ( I see in your videos u have both models) or others?
Nice information
Great. This is tutorials we need to learn how to use oscilloscopes.
I wonder if i would burn the scope up by reading just the directions alone? Boundary limitations on voltage , ohms etc are hard to read for a novice like myself.
Hey, this is a great serios of videos. I hope your surgery went well! :) I have a couple of questions that I really hope you or someone here can answer. One is a more general question, and the other is a specific application of that same question. For background, I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to electricity and some aspects of electronics (I'm an Amateur Extra class ham radio operator), but I'm new to the world of instrumentation when it comes to electronics.. arbitrary wave generators, oscilloscopes, etc... I have a decent understanding of what they do, just not how to properly use them. An engineer over at Siglent suggested I have a look at some of your videos, so here I am. FYI, I bought an oscilloscope (SDS1202X-E), Arbitrary Waveform/Function generator (SDG1032X), and a Triple Output Power Supply (SPD3303X-E) from Siglent. I bought these without a real purpose in mind other than to learn how to use this equipment in pursuit of my radio hobby and a newfound interest in pursing physical computing things like Rasberry Pi / Arduino builds... PWM motors and stuff like that... so now you know my background... here are my questions...
1) General question - I understand the outer shield of the connector (and thus the clip side of the probe) goes to a common chassis ground on the scope. Is it always true that signals you might measure from an appliance would always have a grounded side? I'm thinking that the internal components of a circuit board, a radio, etc., might have the circuit you're observing in complete isolation. Imagine, for example that I wanted to examine the waveform on a PWM controlled motor (like on a DeWalt brushless cordless drill, for example). Is the choice of which side of the circuit you would connect the probe leads to arbitrary in that case, or would you need to ground one side of the application on the bench?
2) Specific question - I thought one easy demonstration of how different kinds of waves and modulations look would be to show the sine wave of household voltage (should certainly be a nice, clean sine wave). So, I assume I would put the ground side of the probe on the chassis ground of the mains, and then the probe itself to the 120v RMS "hot" side of the circuit? w/ a 10x probe, this would give a range of about +12/-12v, or 24v PTP (assuming I am understanding correctly how that term is used)... Would this be the correct way to perform this measurement? Would I need any kind of resistive load in there, or does the probe itself provide the necessary impedance, so I'm not essentially creating a short to ground?
The next application of that second question is to then compare the quality of power production equipment. I have a propane-powered 120v RMS AC inverter generator. It's my understanding that this one (a Champion), is classified as a "pure sine wave" inverter. In this case, there is no "ground" per se, unless I explicitly were to ground the generator (I'm sure there is a way to, as it does have a 3rd ground pin on its outlets), but I am thinking here... Would I test with the ground clip on the neutral side of the outlet, and the probe on the hot side? How does that affect the measurement if the generator's neutral isn't common with earth ground the way mains voltage is? On a similar note, I have a Harbor Freight Jupiter 10,000 watt inverter that I happen to know (from observing the poor performance of motors and other things connected to it) produces a truly NASTY square wave. I am thinking I would test this in the same way... Ground clip to the neutral side of the inverter, probe on the hot side... as with the generator, there is no true earth ground here, unless I were to create one.
Any thoughts on these projects / experiments would be greatly appreciated. Any suggestions on fun and interesting things to do / try with these appliances to become more familiar with their use and function is always appreciated. I'm enjoying your videos, and look forward to more. Thanks for taking the time to read and respond!
That's a lot to respond to here. Please email me arduino0169@gmail.com.
Paul WW8PR
Real nice & fun
Dude, what is the sample rate of that scope? It looks like it has only 4 samples per cycle of that signal! Is it a 100Msa/s scope?!!?
I assume you got well, as I have viewed some of your recent vids, and noticed you have better scopes now. It's a good thing..
Uncle Paul and Percocet. 😁 Gotta love the drugs (prescribed only) I know I do. Thanks for the refresher, I kinda need to relearn all the stuff an o'scope does. More buttons and dodads thanI'm used to. Thanks for the video, looking forward to more learnin with Unc Paul!
Package going out today
You're the MAN!
I know today is surgery day, so maybe someone else can chime in here. When you say ground is a direct short to household ground and be careful....where is it connected to for battery powered scopes? Be careful in what way? Like what specifically should I be careful of? Sorry, totally new to scopes. Hope the surgery goes well!
What the difference between 10X and 1X on the probe what dose it do for you.?? Good video thanks.
Check the video link in the description
@@learnelectronics thanks Paul that answered every question I had about 10X versus 1X on probes👍 I love kangaroo Dave he very good at explaining stuff. So thank you Again ant you get well coz we all look forward to your videos💛
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Good luck with your kidney stone surgery. As long as you don’t end up peeing into a bag while the swelling goes down enough to place a stent to bypass a stone the size of a grape, you will be alright !
Stent has been in for over a week
Great vid - thx - ordered my first scope today. The last scope I used was 50 years ago at school. Hope the Op went well.
"Are you taking narcotics,son"? Saw Sgt. Friday ask that on Dragnet the other day.LOL
Sometimes doctors don’t want us to take aspirin, just plain old regular aspirin.
I would dump all other pain relievers in a heartbeat because aspirin works incredibly well it thins the blood a little bit but it has very few side effects. Works wonders for me
That's an $800.00 machine. Incredible though. Any suggestions on a "good" one around the $200 range? I'm just getting started and it's a fun hobby for sure.
Don't miss my Christmas video on Friday, might have just what you are looking for....
F.Y.I. BNC is an acronym for British Naval Connector.
Nice scope rundown video Paul. Hope the upcoming surgery goes well. Relax and enjoy the drugs😂
Nothing like prescription drugs to keep one going.
Nice video, thanks.
Get well soon.
Please telme sir your experience dso5202p this better my hand money is wery low only 18000/-
I’m right bnc 100 times on the chalk board 😅
still happy with the Hantek DSO5102p?
Yes it's a good scope
@@learnelectronics thank you for the response.
Good luck with the op Paul, here's your chance to sweet talk the nurses "Heaven" :)
Its hard to sweet talk nurses when your wedding tackle is on display with a hose hanging out of it lol
@@learnelectronics Tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much information Paul, I;m still winching at the thought of it.
Nice explanation but BNC stands for British Naval Connector.
Negative, it's the initials of the designers Bayonet Neill-Concelman
Does anyone actually show you how to operate a scope.
Or must they all talk about themselves?
This is the tool you order and use for a few weeks... then it begins its real use as a dust collector.....
Ayy. Noice.
You will have the DEA pounding your door soon!
Start digging a tunnel, you know what happened to El Chapo yesterday.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hi Paul- Nice video. I can't get enough of the basics for using a digital scope ever since purchasing a low end Siglent several years ago- still learning. One caution, don't advertise too readily the fact that you have Schedule-2 drugs in your possession. Not in today's population.
I live in a tiny little town, 2 of the 6 cops are my cousins, I'm well armed and Ohio is a Castle Doctrine state.
I must've watched 50 videos on DSOs and they are all pretty much useless. Each spends the lion's share of the time talking about volts p/div and time base, and that's usually it. Sure they show a sine wave or square wave, well gee thanks! What's the point of that? You'd think it would occur to *intelligent* people going to the trouble of making beginner videos to come up with an actual *real world* example or situation that demonstrates the usefulness of a scope!? And I'm talking battery + LED + cap or something SIMPLE.
yeah that's youtube needs is more learning to use your first oscilloscope they are not as intuitive as a multimeter. there are a lot of vids telling you the buttons, but not telling you how to use it.
Oxyloscope.
Jeffrey? Is that you?
Not enough finger on screen to show the Zero point. Too easily missed.
When you're pointing at stuff with your index finger, don't forget your thumb dominates the screen.
I'm not suggesting that you cut it off but keep it out of the way.
EG, "We also have a signal inversion ..." and the hand obscures it!
"Then we have our fine and coarse adjustment.." and we get the back of a hand!!
You press too many buttons without saying a reason for doing it nor explaining the resultant effect.
I think that I'm going to have trouble lurching through to the end of this!
