I'm at work without speakers/headphones and these close captions are hysterical.

@CurrexIsPro 4 года назад

The first few minutes of this video is extremely valuable and insightful. I appreciate you putting the time together to make this... for people like me who have a hard time initially grasping concepts but after I learn them is much easier to apply them in practice

Thank you for this wonderful introductory tutorial; it is exactly what I needed. I look forward to viewing the more advanced one to which you alluded. What makes it especially nice is that the scope I bought appears to be virtually identical to the one you are using in the video. Your well thought out presentation made it effortless and enjoyable to follow and I'm now looking forward to the new vistas having a scope will enable me to explore in electronics. Thanks so much !

@simeonmeshackimologie506 2 года назад

Thank you for this Tutorial! I love the way you slowly made your presentation such that anyone could understand you.

@mjlorton 12 лет назад

Thanks for the feedback...hope to get part II together soon. Cheers, Martin.

@mjlorton 10 лет назад

I've not had the Owon SDS7102 in my hands so can't say. I will be doing more reviews on entry level scopes soon.

@pauludrea4082 Год назад

Thank you Martin, very clear explanation. Thank you for your efforts.

@suicidalbanananana 8 лет назад

Thank you for a great little lesson/howto, much appreciated, thumbs up and continuing to part 2

@DavidConnollyvolthaus 9 лет назад

This video is my very first exposure to what an o-scope is and its capabilities. After watching your video I would have to say I now know what it is and what it does. And I'm happy to see the 2nd installment has been made and is ready for viewing. Thank you very much for taking the time to put these videos together. Great job sir. I've given it a thumbs up and also I have subscribed. Keep up the good work, please.

@PowderMill 7 месяцев назад

👍🏻 Excellent presentation! Thank you. I recently had a CVA (stroke) and lost nearly all of my memory / memories. Hardest hit were tech matters, so I’m try to regain much of that which was lost. This was great and I’m about to head back to your channel to look for dB explanation and spectrum analyzer use. And.. hopefully duplexer and filter tuning with a spectrum analyzer with tracking generator. Thanks again.

@jeffcurrie4885 3 года назад

Im in auto diagnostics and this helps alot. The firing of plugs, injection of fuel, time between these two things alone is a major factor in finding a problem that normally would be very hard to detect. OBD diagnostics with fuel trims uses alot of these formulas. Fantastic. Thank you

@programmingelectronics 9 лет назад

Awesome Video! Thanks Martin - just at the pace I needed. Look forward to watching the rest of the playlist.

@centaur1a 12 лет назад

I am glad that you have taken the time to show us (the beginners) how to use the oscilloscope. My father left me an very old one which uses vacuum tube and it is just gathering dust because I did not know how to use it. Thanks.

@mjlorton 11 лет назад

@run1492 Год назад

A really great basics tutorial; You explain things in a very clear way, thanks !

@rayhenderson9661 2 года назад

It's great when someone can show you how to do something without getting too technical and using words a lot would not understand, I've watched every second of your video and really enjoyed it. I have bought an oscilloscope very similar to yours (Hantek DS02D15) and thanks to you I now have a good idea how to use it. Keep up the good work and once again Thank You.

@cuppen6940 4 года назад

@kikinhenry 5 лет назад

Thank you for what you have done for me...I am now more knowledgeable about oscilloscopes...You are great explaining concepts!

@mjlorton 11 лет назад

Yes, I do plan to do one.

@ferenctulics9688 2 года назад

Great lesson, explained really well. Thank you!!

@mjlorton 11 лет назад

Thanks, more oscilloscope tutorials will follow and I'll eventually do external triggering. Cheers, Martin.

@mjlorton 11 лет назад

You get probes that allow you to work with higher voltages and that is set on the scope as well to allow you to see that on the vertical scale.

@bambam144 9 лет назад

great job martin! have learnt here in 30 min much more then at the university during the electronic practical training. big thumbs up!

@frankfromupstateny3796 10 лет назад

very good speaker, with concise speaking skills and elaboration...thx.

@Aemannin 11 лет назад

Hi Martin, excellent lesson for a newbie like myself to using an oscilloscope. Very good explanation of the very basics. I have purchased a RIGOL DS1052E (Upgraded to 100MHz) to use with my introduction to electronics and think this tutorial is the the best I have come across. I have learnt more after watching this video than reading the user manual and a book on using oscilloscopes. I look forward to the next installment. Keep up the good work. Many thanks, Regards, Les.

@andreazecchi812 4 года назад

Fantastic explaination! Thanks so much!

@geoffreyrawlings9736 5 лет назад

Excellent video I now can understand oscilloscope much better .Thanks for your time.

@mjlorton 10 лет назад

Thanks, my pleasure!

@asherscottL 5 лет назад

Thank you for this tutorial. I have used oscilloscopes in the past, but it had been so long and that I was a little concerned I would have trouble picking it back up again. I looked up a video just to remind myself, and this was much easier than I was thinking. The Huntron Scanners I use at work are much more complicated than an o-scope. I really only needed to look at it and its buttons to remember how to use it, but I stayed because your explanation was just so nice and useful. Thank you again for helping smooth,away my worry that I wouldn't remember how this worked,

@vipcat4e 8 лет назад

going threw every one of these over and over. thank you for your attention to detail! :D

@mjlorton 11 лет назад

My Pleasure, thanks for the feedback.

@rfbase Месяц назад

You have a skill, that being how well you can explain something to novices. I've watched several "beginner" videos as I'm getting my first scope later today and this is the first one I watched where I actually was able to follow along very well. Thank you very much. I definitely subscribed and definitely hit the thumbs up.
