Says it all really, but be warned it is 2hrs 20 mins long.

Also has more video instruction films on his youtube page.



The program is presented in three parts:
Part 1: History of Oscilloscopes, by Al Klase, Technical Coordinator for NJARC
Part 2: Basics of Oscilloscopes, by Alan Wolke, Application Engineer at Tektronix Corporation (begins at 15 min. 42 sec. into the program)
Part 3: A Brief History of Oscilloscope Tubes, by Nevell Greenough (begins at 2 hr. 13 min. 35 sec. into the program.)

Might have been mentioned here before, but Tektronix do a free manual called "The XYZ of Oscilloscopes".

They've done this for many years - it gets updated with each iteration of the technology, so the earlier versions (more relevant here) deal with valve scopes and associated techniques; the most recent versions are pretty much all digital.

A typical version from the analogue days in 1985 is included below....

I thought there was a copy of that in the Archive. There wasn't but there is now. Thanks, Nick.
