Just picked up a used scope. 20MHz.. - Supposed to be in great working condition. Came with no leads. I just attached a couple of aligator clips to the input (Ch1) for now.
It seems to show AC fine. (Nice sine wave)..
However if I try to watch 5volt logic pulses from different sources, the vertical line in the state changes seems to be missing. For example. i would expect to see something like: ______ _____ _____ | | | | | | __| |____| |____| |__
but what I'm seeing is:
_____ _____ _____
_____ _____
Is this normal? Does it have something to do with not having a probe maybe? Crapy scope?
I would appreciate any info. Thanks Dave
