Should have watched this back in college T-T everyone in the class are just turning knobs hoping the signal output that the professor wants will magically come out lolololokok
Don't press the Autoset button, boy!
Lol i came here for this exact reason! I have a lab and was barely introduced to the OC. It’s hard to grasp the concepts of what this device is doing without being shown what should be displayed and why.
The inclusion of the DMM and comparing the values of one source on both was extremely helpful!
@@alejandroperez5368 wait why?
😂💔 sorry.
I'm currently in college and I'm happy I'm watching this now 🥸
Same here
Excellent intro, and the narrator is great! Good pace, well edited. I'm getting back into electronics after a long time, and I used to have an old Tektronics scope. I just purchased a new scope (coincidentally, the same model as in your video) and just trying to learn the basics. I had no idea the cap came off the probe!
This is a fantastic video. I have been watching other vids about scope basics, and people usually make them too simplistic. I love how you ran through principles, tools, and practices to go from high level understanding of the concept, down into some very specific applications. Would you consider doing more scope videos, explaining more of the principles and practical applications?
Great job.. appreciate the straightforward approach to explaining the basics. Will recommend this video 👌
Very useful video, thanks! I just got a mini DSO, but it's been about 8 years since I last played with one. I appreciate the info and the demo diagnostics, all very concise.
Oh my god, thank you, this is the super dumbed down introduction that I needed. I build guitar effects pedals and I'm at the point of buying an oscilloscope but nobody can dumb it down like this for me, so I appreciate it.
I would love advanced lessons like these in the future. You and your brother are great at explaining things to ADHD autistics like me that need things to be visual and for the info to be walked through with some handholding.
Who needs an oscilloscope when you can just put exposed wires on both sides of your tongue. Mmmmmmm

😀😀😀
One of the best oscillosope basics tutorials I have ever seen! Well done!
Probably one of the best tutorials I came across on Oscilloscope
You have a genuine talent for making things easy to understand. I'm going to start calling you the Jim Butterfield of electronics.
I really appreciate this! I've always been kinda scared of electronics, but now with arduino I'm in love with the projects I can do and after watching a lots of tutorials, the oscilloscope was a tool that kept confusing me, until now! thanks!
The best explanation I’ve come across!
Fun quick lesson. Thanks for posting.
Barry
Super helpful..... first time I'm seeing comparison with DSO and multimeter readings. Great idea and clears every doubt. Keep uploading such more videos
Thank you for comparing the displayed results on the oscilloscope to ones on the DMM- it was super helpful. I didn’t understand what was meant by “the DMM measures in rms (root mean square)” before this 🙏
*also I absolutely loved the bit at the end with the music!
Very nice explanation, thank you!
Excellent video!
Simple and good enough for the basic, thanks.
Your definition of everyday life is quite interesting. x) Anyway, nice video.
simple and easy to understand. Thanks dude.
Wonderful Explanation.
Very helpful, thank you!
I'm not sure why CZcams decided recommend this video, but I'm glad that I got to watch it. I've been hold off from buy a 'scope because of the implied complexity of the device. I know that this video is 2 years old now, but thank you so much for putting this one out! It really takes some of the anxiety away from using an oscilloscope.
I've been trying to learn as much as I can before I burn up my new scope. Thank you for making a nice an neat video and showing a few examples. Very helpful.
Thanks for making this. I’ve had a given oscilloscope lying around forever and always assumed I’d never figure out how to use it.. 👍
Excellent video brother! I'm a mechatronics instructor and this is gold
Soooooo helpful, thank you.
Man you're a lifesaver, this dumb down version is the exact one I was hoping to find sooner!!
Thanks, this is a great video!
Genius! this is a great video!!! thank you so much!
Very interesting, thank you! :)
Thanks. Very informative.
Been working on oscillators, basic Ned in the primer level circuitry, But now I need to know more after adding some tanks to the circuit. I've ordered a two channel digital oscilloscope and this video is invaluable. Thank you very much.
That was great, in common with other viewers of your video I also needed just the very basics at this stage, top stuff :)
Thankyou so much for this video. I have just purchased my first scope, I've wanted one since I learned of them long ago LOL. I'm getting back into electronics, and I know want I want to use the scope for but seeing that I've never been able to have one I really don't know anything about them at all. I hope you keep making videos on how to use a scope, I will keep monitoring your channel. thankyou
great explanation
Thank you, sir!
Thank you so much - I have no idea about any of this, but I seem to have understood something! Love the voice over, great voice :)))
You are so good in explaining the science of oscilloscopes that I will subscribe ☺️
Good video, very good explained.
Enjoyed your video, thanks
It's really a very informative and brief tutorial on oscilloscope. 👍
Great content!
Excellent thank you!
Thanx for the standing stones blast from the past
Thank you, in less then 10 minutes you got rid of my fears of Oscilloscopes! Love it.
The oscilloscope is my favorite tool on the bench, by far 👍
No less than a duel trace
"I was today years old" when I got my first Oscilliscope, a Siglent SHS800. This was an excellent beginning tutorial. I hope you or somebody will go on and talk about more advanced topics like triggering.
Good explanation. I repaired and calibrated scopes when I was in the Air Force. They were mostly vacuum tube models back then.
Thanks!
Thanks. Never thought to check top end of probe.
the C64 demo was a VERY nice touch :D
Mike. Slays. Biatches. Very cool.
I know this was posted some time ago, but for beginners, you should explain the correct why to measure high voltage. In your example, measuring the AC house voltage can be particularly dangerous if your ground probe is not connected to the neutral. Even testing the Arduino (while connected to the pc via usb cable) can also lead to a potential short. Thanks for the informative video btw. PS this would be a great comment to pin.
Thanks for this, I learnt a lot. I'm going to check your other videos to see if you have anything on safety with an oscilloscope. I've just bought one and don't wan to blow it up!
Cool stuff!
Great video tutorial 👍♥️ thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience 🇵🇭🫡🫡🫡
Now that is a pretty good introduction to The “O” Scope. When explaining the “O” Scope I have used the analogy of a visual volt meter that measures volts and Frequency.
Multimeters also measure frequency, tho
Just subscribed, great video, thank you so much for making his
I am just starting to use Oscilloscopes and I have the same brand, this was a fantastic video for me to feel more comfortable with the device, I will play with an Arduino too and take some measurements
Thank you.
Thanks a lot for the two examples with the Arduino and the C64 SID.
There is a lot of stuff on YT explaining oscilloscope basics but almost nothing showing examples on how it is used in "real world use cases".
Thank you
That was super-useful. I've just picked up an ancient analogue oscilloscope, at a car-boot sale, in the rain. No idea how to use it, yet.
very nice
Awesome buddy
Thank you, I understand a little more! MORE VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
Awesome video. Just learn dc circuits now the other half of the semester will be ac.
It looks cool
Best scope video
I just got a job where learning to use one of these would help tremendously!
Just seen this video, love it, i am just getting in to electronics at (57), i am looking to repair vintage record players and music centres, i was wondering if you could do one on testing the parts these would have in and show how you know if they are faulty.. thanks again, love your channel
Tnx for nice video
Very cool. When you brought out the Commodore 64 I went back to 1982 when I used to punch in entire games, record them onto tape cassette and then load them up again so I could play them 😀
could you please add some information how to check high voltage if there is a common negative/ ground situation........ and whether need an isolation transformer in situation like this?
6:20 hah this is great! I was in need of a oscilloscope tutorial; and it just happens to be with the scope I was interested in purchasing. And I do have a C64 here along with 3 SID chips I've been wanting to test :)
YOU ARE SUPER!!!!
I grew up with the Vic 20. I still have it n a box somewhere and it still works.
*THANK YOU*
A scope is something I know I need to learn as the machines I find seem to be getting more and more broken.
Perhaps Part 2 could include some more real-world applications like looking at the output of a 74 series chip or a ram module like a 4116/etc?
Watching this after watching someone draw in one. Helps a lot in figuring out what I just saw
Haha Commodore64 my first computer was an SX-64 that’s where it all started for me. That prompt brought back memories of my first love.
Rarely do I comment on videos, but that C64 had me in tears. My first computer was... a Vic 20. I skipped the C64 in favor of the C-128. Memories...
i heard about osc. in words. i saw it today and how it works. only i am in touch with multi. but i plan to own it to my shop in future. thank you a lot for your values ! Jesus bless you more and much
Thanks for this Excellent tutorial video! Do you have to isolate the oscilloscope from the mains? What do you use? Thanks again
Beautiful tutorial. Thanks for the nice introduction. But I think a 5v square wave like the one shown in 7:30 will produce an RMS voltage 3.54 V and average (mean) voltage of 2.5 V. But in the video, you said the average voltage will be about 2.5 v.
wow, comodor 64, with stonehenge and digital music, how cool is that !
Please do more oscilloscope tutorials. I have the sds 1202x-e an am tryiing to understand it better. Would like to see basic applications. TIA
This is kind videos I like because I have had this 400.00 oscilloscope for awhile but im really not sure what I can test .I'm very good with electronics with out it but I know I can be better thanks
i have been subscribed for a long while, yet... this is the first video to show up in notifications :(
Yes! It's a complaint many creators have right now.
More oscilloscope examples please
I've been trying to work out how to test my C64's failed RAM chips using an Oscilloscope. This helps a bit, thanks :)
Had a C64 which filled the screen with @ ($00). It should have been SPACE ($20). So I concluded that the RAM chip for bit 5 was defect. No oscilloscope needed 😉
@@wlorenz65 Mine's the "?out of memory error in 0" problem so I've had to take a crash course in soldering and am just replacing chips one at a time. Would be nice if I could confirm if the chips I bought work as expected before I use them though :P
Holy crap 170v? Awesome vid.
How can I test a home stereo cable? Do I need a separate audio signal (like white noise)? I have various test tones in my computer and various audio output jacks. Thanks!
Ps I want to see if my older cables are not passing the higher frequencies due to corrosion or wear.
Nice introduction to oscilloscopes... starting to wonder if I could utilize one myself. Seeing you probe that one pin from the SID chip to get all three voices output wave... I suppose those videos that show each SID voice's wave separately can only be done through software playing SID files.
Actually, I think you can get those on the data lines. I'd have to go back and look at the pinout.
Thank you for this video. I just started a new job where I will be working with industrial (480 volt) vari speed drives a really need to learn how to 1 use an oscilloscope correctly and 2, not blow myself or the scope up. Boss said he'd write me up if I managed to blow off any of my fingers...
More on C64 oscilloscope basics! That’s my one reason for wanting a scope.
What else would you like to see?
@@TheGeekPub just more practical examples. Check bios signals on laptop, crystals in galaxy phones, etc...
Fantastic video, IM a Union Electrician, going through the apprenticeship. We are studying Digital Electronics and Analog. The oscilloscope we will be tested on. Can you make a video about Boolean Algebra, AND LOGIC OR LOGIC. Thanks man.
Great video, exactly what I needed, I would love to learn more! Do you have any suggestions for good entry level oscilloscopes maybe stuff to look out for on eBay? Thanks again!
I have recommendations on the website.
I have a scope and No probes. I would like to figure out if my scope is any good before I invest in probes and such. Any designs for probes/connectors that can be sorta 'home-made'? Nice video. Ya'll Take Care and be safe, John
6:19 subscribed!
You should never connect the ground lead of the probe to a actual Earth ground. It can fry the probe or even the scope or circuit. You want to make sure the ground is isolated. Unless of course you have a advanced scope with isolation probes or the scope itself has an isolation feature.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. I am trying something very simple and yet struggling. What can I do to have the time a simple DC circuit goes on then off using an oscilloscope? in other words. Is there a chance to freeze the dot running across x axis so I can measure how long current was on between the time I turn on power switch and then off?
I just bought SDS1202X-E today and came here to look for video to learn how to use it, I know nothing about Oscilloscope, Any TIPS
As a very green noob to electronics there are a lot of videos on oscilloscopes but nobody that I’ve watched has shone how to make sure everything is grounded in their workshop. Was curious as how to set up the space before investing in equipment.
Great video. I just bought one and understand the very basics but obtaining a signal after I calibrated the machine and probes is proving fruitless
