Need a good book on how to use an Oscilloscope

Feb 09, 2009 10 Replies

I know the basics of using a scope but my scope HP1710a (working now), has more inputs outputs and knobs than I know what to do with.



Anything out in the public domain in pdf would be preferable but I'll amazon a good book.



Thanks,



Wes

A little googling gets these - don't know if they suit you or not, since I'm not you....

Wes,

Both Tektronix and B&K Precision have pretty good primers on scopes. I don't have the links for you, but if you go to their web sites you will surley find them. I found them quite useful.

Take care,

Scott

Yeah, go to Tektronix.com and search for some of their basic operator's documentation. It's old, but it does cover the basics very well.

And from looking at a few of your posts, YOU need to learn manners.

Don't bother replying, I won't see it. Pal.

Looks like you need to register to get it though - annoying, so I've uploaded here for you:

Lots of digital scope focus in there though.
