        Electronic measurement equipment and multimeters – Part 8: Oscilloscope
        1. The Hantek DSO-1200 oscilloscope and the Fluke 43b

        In this video I do a basic demonstration of the Hantek DSO-1200 oscilloscope as well as the Fluke 43b oscilloscope function. I demonstate some of the functionality and trouble shooting around my solar powered Kindle DX project. I talk a about supercapacitors and show a nornal capacitor working in conjuction with a voltage regulator.
