Alan, would you consider doing a video tutorial on active and current probes? Possibly a lesson on using the Tek PWR analysis features of the MSO/DPO series?
@sdscotto If I had access to some active probes and current probes, I would. There are some videos and webinars online. Go to tek.com / power (without the spaces) then select Library and Videos & Webinars. I'd like to do one of my amateur videos on this, but I just don't have the equipment.
Teaching is not just about how much knowledge you have it is how good you are in approaching your point in other words it is an ART of approaching to get the information clear AND YOU GOT THAT amazing video thank you so much
yes i can cur very well explained , i have aTEX 2232 scope and wheni get my radioshace redone i will be setting up my test eq and doing just what you sain in the vid thanks, yer some repair or radio RX TX set up vids would be very usefull too thanks Have a great new year
Like many before me have already said, this is one awesome video. I already knew this all but the way you explain it is high quality teaching style. Always love watching/listening to your videos. If only my professors at university were even a fraction as talented as you are in bringing the material across. Exceptional stuff once again!!
@jorgeandrade20 Cool! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. I'll have to think about some repair videos - good idea. As for probes - you basically get what you pay for. Cheap ones may have poor frequency response. You can usually find inexpensive used probes (by Tek or HP) at hamfests. If your work is mostly lower frequency anyway, then the inexpensive ones that you can get from various electronics distributors will likely work fine.
This tutorial is amazing, I really like the way you breakdown and explain the different aspects, I'd love for you to start a series on basic electronics repair, I've been looking up online and didn't really see anything as good as your tutorials. On another note, what's a good place to buy "cheap" probes, I have a Tek 2465A. Thanks.
you know what -- it's the simple things that i missed in school -- i've never thought about calibrating an o'scope (calibrating a VNA, yes --- but an o'scope never crossed my mind). anyways, thanks for the video! very informative!!
Also, You mentioned that you need to make sure that you are aware that the probe attenuates by 10x. What you didn't mention is that some scopes (like the tek 465) have multiple indicators of the scale, so you need to know where to look
@dcheng90 Thank you very much! I am glad that you are enjoying the videos. If you interested, you may want to watch the "Scopes for Dopes" class that I helped to teach to the NJ Antique Radio Club. It's a 2+hr class covering all aspects of analog scopes. This video is not on my channel, but is listed under the Favorites section on my channel.
I'm an Analog Senior Applications Engineer in Power Electronics and I must say, this is the best explanation I've ever seen on 1X vs 10X oscilloscope probing. Your video is clear, thorough, and in depth. You made me sign in just to comment! Good work. =)
I knew my probes had an adjustment but I left it alone because I didn't know how/when to adjust them. Now when I get home I will be checking mine.
Thanks!
