  1. What is an Oscilloscope, How it Works and How to Use it

  In this tutorial / lesson for beginners I cover the following topics on oscilloscopes:

  * What is an oscilloscope?
  * Oscilloscope basics
  * Oscilloscope tutorial
  * How does an oscilloscope work?
  * How to use an oscilloscope.
  * How to read a signal on an oscilloscope screen.
  * Time base / scale, seconds per division (s/div), signal scale in volts per division (v / div)
  * Horizontal position adjustment, vertical position adjustment, trigger point adjustment.
  * high frequency signals, low frequency signals, the period of a signal, square wave signals, pulse width modulated signals (PWM), sine wave signals (sinusoidal), measuring a signal.
  * Multimeter comparison to oscilloscope
  * Charging a capacitor over time
  * Reference / calibration signal
  * Oscilloscope probes

  Tutorial on the basics of what an oscilloscope is, how it works and how to use it.

  The oscilloscope is an electronic “time machine”!

  2. How to acquire a signal

  A tutorial on using the controls on an oscilloscope to acquire a signal.

  * Time base / scale, seconds per division (s/div), signal scale in volts per division (v / div)
  * Horizontal position adjustment, vertical position adjustment, trigger point adjustment.
  * high frequency signals, low frequency signals, the period of a signal, square wave signals, pulse width modulated signals (PWM), sine wave signals (sinusoidal), measuring a signal.

  3. How to capture a signal event / glitch / transient

  In this tutorial I used the ISO-TECH IDS 6072A-U oscilloscope and a bench power supply to demonstrate how you can use the single shot feature with triggering to capture a signal event / glitch / transient. I also the demonstrate the use of the cursor feature to measure a signal.

  4. Oscilloscope performance vs. specifications

  A look at oscilloscope real time sample rate, equivalent sample rate, memory depth and waveform update rate specifications…and does it translate to real world performance?

  I compare the ISO-TECH IDS 6072A-U vs. Siglent / ATTEN / XYTRON 1042CML vs. Agilent DSO-X 2002A

  5. Oscilloscope Earthing / Isolation Challenges - Part 1

  View all my tutorials and videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/mjlorton…

  In this video I demonstrate some of the challenges a common earth through the electrical mains system can pose for oscilloscopes and other test equipment. I show the benefits of a portable / handheld oscilloscope (Siglent SHS810) and one that has isolated inputs (Siglent SHS1102).

  (Problems with a function generator and oscilloscope that are both mains earth referenced.)

  6. Oscilloscope Earthing / Isolation Challenges - Part 2

  In this video I demonstrate the use of the differential maths function on an oscilloscope to measure a signal and have “isolation” from earth.

  I follow-up and demonstrate the issues / noise / interference a DC power supply can have on a portable / handheld oscilloscope.

  I demonstrate how 1x, 10x and 100x oscilloscope probes can attenuate a high voltage to a lower level. I show how a high voltage 100x probe can be used to measure a signal over 1000 volts.
