Has anyone told you you are a great teacher/explainer? I am an absolute oscilliscope noob, and appreciated your explanation of its basics.

Good luck with your surgery and wish you a speedy recovery. That was a great video about scopes, especially for us newbies, who are learning how to make them run. Thanks again Paul.

Wish you the best for the up coming surgery. I remember how my father looked like with kidney stones... And if you are a good boy at the hospital, maybe they will plug an oscilloscope on you, "ground first as always".

Paul, hope to see you back soon. May your recovery Good smooth and quick. Thank you for sharing this video with us. We all can use your knowledgebase. I hope you continue this type of equipment training. God's speed, stay well my brother. Joel

Wish u speed recovery Paul. Your videos are very informative to best of your ability.

Fantastic, man. Thanks a lot! 😊 I hope everything goes well with the surgery! Get better soon!!!

Really enjoying these oscilloscope videos. Nice job Paul and good luck with your surgery.

Never had anybody explain the intricacies of Oscopes whilst half in the wrapper, but you did a commendable job. I'm watching it and will rewatch it. That Hantek scope is on my shortlist for my first digital scope. Well done. And you should be.

Get Better soon! great video as always!

Good info, thanks again ! Looking at my Goldstar os-7040 again now You help a lot. And yeah, I know a bit how it is when one is on drugs from the hospital, more then a year now ... It's the one or the other. You give hope and inspiration ! Wish you all the best with your operation and recovery. Hou je taai ouwe !

Wow! That was excellent! You have a knack for explaining things very clearly (which means you understand). That was just the right amount of detail and the topics covered were perfect for getting started. Thank you and I wish you the best!

thank you for your clarification of the functions of the scope, it was a bit to take in but we can reference it when needed. Stay well, will look for more of your videos !

Paul, Thanks for the detailed explination! That helps a lot! Another video on examples of when a beginner would use one would also be great!

I second that recommendation. Why would a noob want to have a scope for scoping what sorts of circuits for what reasons? And what do they do about the measurements once they are procured. Stay very very basic.

Thanks for this rundown summary, i do enjoy my usb hantek 😉 best of luck with your upcoming surgery. Catching up on some videos as i just got back from my vacay in Ocean City MD.

thank you so much, you really made this sound way too easy ... cannot thank you enough. God bless, and wish you had recovered .. i know this was back in 2019, but your work remains a lighthouse to those who needs it.

I'm just about to buy an oscilloscope, so this was very useful, thank-you. I hope the surgery went well and you are now in good health.

Very, very helpful. I liked the detail that you gave and answered a lot of questions I had.

Thanks for making this video; I hope you do more in-depth with measurement choices and methods. I've only had a scope for a month and still learning the very basics.

Very helpful and slightly entertaining video, thanks for the clear explanations. I'm getting my first o-scope this week, so this is really going to help. Thanks!

I experience a lot of the same health problems you do caused by a condition called systemic Lupus. I am male, so that makes my condition relatively rare (occurring in men roughly 10% of the time). What I’m getting at is functioning with these kinds of problems sucks and makes basic life function exponentially harder for us! I respect that regardless of your condition you pull forward anyway. I do the same (or try), but people like yourself are inspiring to me so thank you! Oh, and thanks for the great subject matter in you videos too, I learn a lot! Cheers!

Hi Paul, first sorry you are in more pain. Regardless of the meds you definity put back on your professor hat. Very nice beginner course on the O-Scope. Take care Rick

Very helpful! Thank you for the great video!

Best scope instruction video I have seen.

Thanks Paul. What a fantastic explaination! Thanks so much! Merry Cristmas, from Rome, in Italy!

Basics videos are my favourites! Cheers!

Thanks so much. I am going to re-watch again later.

Perfectly explained, especially for a beginner. Much appreciated!!

This has been the best KZread tutorial on this scope, so far.

I know this is an old one, but just watched it and LOVED the "brought to you by percocet".

Hi! I just purchase on of these scopes and this video was just excellent, you have done a nice job explaining the features of this scope, I am very happy with this scope, thank you for sharing this with us. I also have an Heathkit IO-4235 scope that work just like new. Thank you again!!! Have a nice day!!

Hi! As I pointed out in the video on Sync, this video is just excellent for the beginner, such as I am new to the type of scope. I also have the vintage Heathkit IO 4235 analog scope that I have been using. You have talked about the -3dB as concerning the frequency of this scope, also another area in which I have a hard time understanding, But you have help me to understand what this means. Thank you for this great video... Keep up the good work....

Get well! Take care of yourself.

Good luck with the surgery, look forward to the video on hospital test equipment.

Thank you! Very helpful walkthrough!

Thanks for a great Initial OS tutorial.

Thanks for the vid. I bought a nice oscilloscope at a pawn shop and it's been a paperweight for a couple of years. I couldn't find any videos like this at the time. Most seemed to assume prior knowledge of which I had none. Still don't know how to measure a circuit and do anything useful with it. Couple that with the fact I don't have an isolation transformer to plug it into, which means I could apparently fry the thing as best as I understand it, therefore I'm reticent to play around with any ac signal or measure one on a circuit board. In short, my education on the subject is at a standstill. I'll be checking to see if you have more of these great beginner/dummies videos on your channel so hopefully one day I can do something useful with mine. Thanks again Paul. Hope your kidney stone is all better, btw.

Uncle Paul said or you'll blow shit up🤣🤣Better keep us updated on your surgery next Friday. You're in my prayers 🙏

Hiya Paul, Thanks for the much needed education! Love the way you descrbe things and find you very easy to understand. If you ever get the free time, is there any chance you could do a quick Vid on how to measure 'Phase' please? I make my own Metal detector coils and would love to be able to work out the phase shift between the TX coil and the RX coil but unfortunately there's not much information about on how to do this. The Oscilloscope I have is the Hantek DSO 5102P but I'm struggling to find tuitional material on how to use it properly,,the manual is still baffling me,,lol. Lookingforward to more of your Vids,,,,Good luck with your health for the future and best regards,,,Marty,,England.

All the best with your surgery. Looking forward to some electronic experiments with the stones your surgeon will save for you.

This guy is helpful, and entertaining

That was a very good tutorial on scopes for beginners, it really moved along but everything needed was included. I’m very impressed. Hope all goes well with that crappy kidney stone.

Just the video I need thanks!

IMO you have the most fun(and really informative) electronics video on KZread. Most everyone else is trite and boring. This is going to sound corny but you seem like you would be fun to hang with and talk shit. Thanks Paul.

Very good sir, I've been watching your videos and I think you do a great job. Do a practical use for an oscilloscope IE why use it over a multimeter, what does it tell you more? Real uses to fault find circuits with actual problems. Hope your health is good. PS I got some drugs do same stuff to me for my back problems lol

Hantek should pay you to include this video with their scope!! Weeks ago, I got the same exact scope from my brother, and man, I wish I had this video back then. 9:03 I am sure you'll agree that they should have made turning off the dual window a little more intuitive!

Thank you. 😁

Nice information

Hi, Can you please tell me How we measure AC voltage by oscilloscope like Hantek 6022BE ? why it shows offset AC signal and the altitude is only 102 V instead of 120 V? thanks for your reply.

Excellent tutorial, your Amazon shop link is not a hyperlink. Hope your procedure goes well.

Hey, this is a great serios of videos. I hope your surgery went well! :) I have a couple of questions that I really hope you or someone here can answer. One is a more general question, and the other is a specific application of that same question. For background, I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to electricity and some aspects of electronics (I'm an Amateur Extra class ham radio operator), but I'm new to the world of instrumentation when it comes to electronics.. arbitrary wave generators, oscilloscopes, etc... I have a decent understanding of what they do, just not how to properly use them. An engineer over at Siglent suggested I have a look at some of your videos, so here I am. FYI, I bought an oscilloscope (SDS1202X-E), Arbitrary Waveform/Function generator (SDG1032X), and a Triple Output Power Supply (SPD3303X-E) from Siglent. I bought these without a real purpose in mind other than to learn how to use this equipment in pursuit of my radio hobby and a newfound interest in pursing physical computing things like Rasberry Pi / Arduino builds... PWM motors and stuff like that... so now you know my background... here are my questions... 1) General question - I understand the outer shield of the connector (and thus the clip side of the probe) goes to a common chassis ground on the scope. Is it always true that signals you might measure from an appliance would always have a grounded side? I'm thinking that the internal components of a circuit board, a radio, etc., might have the circuit you're observing in complete isolation. Imagine, for example that I wanted to examine the waveform on a PWM controlled motor (like on a DeWalt brushless cordless drill, for example). Is the choice of which side of the circuit you would connect the probe leads to arbitrary in that case, or would you need to ground one side of the application on the bench? 2) Specific question - I thought one easy demonstration of how different kinds of waves and modulations look would be to show the sine wave of household voltage (should certainly be a nice, clean sine wave). So, I assume I would put the ground side of the probe on the chassis ground of the mains, and then the probe itself to the 120v RMS "hot" side of the circuit? w/ a 10x probe, this would give a range of about +12/-12v, or 24v PTP (assuming I am understanding correctly how that term is used)... Would this be the correct way to perform this measurement? Would I need any kind of resistive load in there, or does the probe itself provide the necessary impedance, so I'm not essentially creating a short to ground? The next application of that second question is to then compare the quality of power production equipment. I have a propane-powered 120v RMS AC inverter generator. It's my understanding that this one (a Champion), is classified as a "pure sine wave" inverter. In this case, there is no "ground" per se, unless I explicitly were to ground the generator (I'm sure there is a way to, as it does have a 3rd ground pin on its outlets), but I am thinking here... Would I test with the ground clip on the neutral side of the outlet, and the probe on the hot side? How does that affect the measurement if the generator's neutral isn't common with earth ground the way mains voltage is? On a similar note, I have a Harbor Freight Jupiter 10,000 watt inverter that I happen to know (from observing the poor performance of motors and other things connected to it) produces a truly NASTY square wave. I am thinking I would test this in the same way... Ground clip to the neutral side of the inverter, probe on the hot side... as with the generator, there is no true earth ground here, unless I were to create one. Any thoughts on these projects / experiments would be greatly appreciated. Any suggestions on fun and interesting things to do / try with these appliances to become more familiar with their use and function is always appreciated. I'm enjoying your videos, and look forward to more. Thanks for taking the time to read and respond!

Thanks for the tutorial! How do you use the external trigger input? What's it for? I've never used it.

Can you take screenshot with actual time attached in file image tags or meta data ?? Is there a way to install internal RTC ??

Real nice & fun

Nice scope rundown video Paul. Hope the upcoming surgery goes well. Relax and enjoy the drugs😂

Great. This is tutorials we need to learn how to use oscilloscopes.

Which scope do u recommend for beginner ? Dso5102p or Dso 2c10 ( I see in your videos u have both models) or others?

I wonder if i would burn the scope up by reading just the directions alone? Boundary limitations on voltage , ohms etc are hard to read for a novice like myself.

Dude, what is the sample rate of that scope? It looks like it has only 4 samples per cycle of that signal! Is it a 100Msa/s scope?!!? I assume you got well, as I have viewed some of your recent vids, and noticed you have better scopes now. It's a good thing..

F.Y.I. BNC is an acronym for British Naval Connector.

Sometimes doctors don’t want us to take aspirin, just plain old regular aspirin. I would dump all other pain relievers in a heartbeat because aspirin works incredibly well it thins the blood a little bit but it has very few side effects. Works wonders for me

do they have a method for testing current with an oscope, such as some time of clamp on attachment or possibly a means of placing leads in series?

Sure they show a sine wave or square wave, well gee thanks! What's the point of that? You'd think it would occur to *intelligent* people going to the trouble of making beginner videos to come up with an actual *real world* example or situation that demonstrates the usefulness of a scope!? And I'm talking battery + LED + cap or something SIMPLE.

yeah that's youtube needs is more learning to use your first oscilloscope they are not as intuitive as a multimeter. there are a lot of vids telling you the buttons, but not telling you how to use it.

Not enough finger on screen to show the Zero point. Too easily missed. When you're pointing at stuff with your index finger, don't forget your thumb dominates the screen. I'm not suggesting that you cut it off but keep it out of the way. EG, "We also have a signal inversion ..." and the hand obscures it! "Then we have our fine and coarse adjustment.." and we get the back of a hand!! You press too many buttons without saying a reason for doing it nor explaining the resultant effect. I think that I'm going to have trouble lurching through to the end of this!
