Thank you for your tutorials! its very generous of people like you to volunteer their time and knowledge to help people become more educated. its free to educate yourself with the internet (well almost) but it takes someone putting it online for others!
👍🏻 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.
I was certain I wasn't going to understand much because it seemed so complicated. But Wow to my surprise every few mins watching I thought "Ok that made sense" "Yes i get what he means"...until finally omg I understood the entire video and comprehend the purpose and basic operation of this device 😆 So thank you for sharing☺
The video is an excellent introduction to Oscilloscopes. Thank you for taking the time to enable those of us who are interested in electronics get a footing on why an oscilloscope is a necessary tool to have.
You turned something that looked so complicated into something useful and that makes perfect sense. The zoom analogy sinched it for me. Brilliant. Thank you so much. I’m buying one
Thank you very much! This comment section is extremely respectful and beautiful. It's quite refreshing to see this in TH-cam! Your oscilloscope tutorial was the best, sir. Please keep making more of them.
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.
Thank you Thank you for explaining so thoroughly an instrument I thought I would never understand. This video should be included with all beginner electronics class courses....By far the best trainer i have ever listened to.
For those confused on how to display slow moving voltages such as charging capacitors as discussed here, I eventually discovered you need to switch the instrument to 'ROLL' mode or in the case of XYTRON oscilloscopes- "SCAN" mode.
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
This is an extremely dry topic that you've explained so simply that even I now understand it. Yours is the best oscilloscope explanation video on TH-cam. Thank you.
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
I was shocked to see how many videos that you have uploaded, looks like hundreds or even thousands of hours of recording and editing!! Love your tutorials, extremely clear, very well explained and great camera usage!! Thank you!
You have a SOLID understanding of this stuff. I feel like I'm going to learn a truckload of info from this channel. Thanks a ton for such an amazing explanation!
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 !
My pleasure, thanks for the feedback. I have started looking at older analog scopes and I certainly want to own and play with one in the future. Cheers, Martin.
Thanks for the time to post this video. When Superb teachers like you exist, its easier for everyone to understand. You are so humble and you are a good teacher.
Brilliant!! I'm taking an electronics class in school and this is so much more helpful and clear than my instructors. Learned more in 32 mins. than what has taken 6 hours of instruction and practice to learn there. Thank you.
Very valid and good feedback. Having a practical example will make it far more interesting so I will do my best to do that in the next video, Thanks for posting and watching. Cheers, Martin.
My pleasure, thanks very much for watching and posting. I would certainly hold on to your dad's old scope as they will be / and are gems. Cheers, Martin.
My pleasure, thanks for the feedback. You pose a very interesting question and challenge. I know there are some very fancy visualizations done on oscilloscopes but not sure about this one. I hope to learn more about such things once my new scope arrives. Cheers, Martin.
Did many variations on taylor, fourier, and maclaurin series in first year calculus lab and had no idea of their practical application until i saw this video. I also recall engineering grad students discussing my models and didn't understand why. Now I know. Thanks for your videos.
This video was nine years ago, but it still gave me a great insight into oscilloscope usage. Some of the subtitles were amusing as well. Looking forward to the next video.
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.
Great tutorial. I just bought my first oscilloscope, put it from the box on my table. Didn't have a clue how to use it. Watched this video, now I know how to present a signal on a screen in a meaningful form. Thank you.
Thank you so much, I am a computer engineering student and taking Science of Electronics, where I am very lost, this definitely helped me understand it better, thank you, I am sure I will be watching more of your videos.
this the most easy tutorial to understand I ever seen as the explanation not so fast and really detail. please make the complete tutorial in more video as it will be very help full for all beginner. thousands thumb for this video
Great tutorial! I've been watching your channel for some time now, and just got my first oscilloscope. Your knowledge of electronics has been invaluable. Thanks so much!
In my first college course in the mid 90s we had to do a electronics class. Never could get into it and we had to use an oscilloscope at one point and I just never understood them. Remember them from school in the late 80s and these hadn't appeared to have changed in college. They were still the analogue scopes that, for me, just seemed really old fashioned and put me off. Roll on over 2 decades later and I discover digital oscilloscopes and have wanted one ever since. No idea how to use but they look so much more interesting than the old analogue ones. And seeing people who know how to use them make them interesting.
Very good video. At my university there is no course about how to use oscilloscope. So basically when I ended up in lab, teacher told just told me: "Here is an oscilloscope which all of you already know, so do your work", but I've never worked with those kind of devices. So thx for this video.
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.
Outstanding lesson. I feel much more comfortable around this machine and now am comfortable using it. I also saved your store which has alot of good equipment. Thanks for the lesson
I have to say I really enjoyed this video, very helpful especially for me a beginner in using an oscilloscope. One thing I know id find extremely helpful, if you've not already done a video on this. Is showing us oscilloscope beginners a live testing. I mean by that how to correcting use the probe, where exactly to ground it. For me that would be a great help.
My pleasure, thanks for the feedback. Probably one of the most reasonable decent scopes is the Rigol DS1052E. Dave Jones of EEVBlog does review on it. Hope that helps.
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.
I am in Sylmar California. Always enjoy your material. I have three SnapOn automotive oscilloscopes. Vantage, Vantage Pro and a Verus. I’m just learning. Wrapping my mind around time base is a little challenging. Your first visual aid with the post it notes was very nice.
Thank you for taking the time to emplane the intricacies of how the Ascope functions. I hope, in the other videos that you provided which I have not viewed yet, that you show us which controls to set to be able to allow us to understand the function of the oscilloscope. Again thank you>
cool video. keep them coming. Two point on the content: 1, the zero line is very important. -12v to 12v has an amplitude of 24v, if you ignore the zero line and just count you will not now if it is -12 to 12 or 0v to 24v 2, i think that the down arrow represents the trigger point, not that the signal is out of the screen
Thank you!!! I have an inherited analogue scope and have never been able to understand it, but I'm hoping your videos will help. You are a star for sharing this knowledge.
Thank you so much for this. I am in an AC Circuits Class that unfortunately is basically a brutal self-taught at the local Technical College here in the States. My instructor is a nice enough guy (As is his assistant that comes in only on Tuesdays.) but the are a number of us in different classes using the same Lab Time and often you have to wait long periods of time to get any help. Again, thank you. This cleared up some of my questions.
Thank you very much for your tutorial video . My professor wants us to read his manual before our Lab and I read it over and over again and I really don't know what the heck is going on . I watch this just one and I get through it , now I am ready for the Lab tomorrow , thank you again . I m really appreciate it

+Brady Jackson Indeed Sir very much appreciated
Excellent.
I know the video's been around for a bit of time now, but still being so helpful; thank you
I'm at work without speakers/headphones and these close captions are hysterical.
👍🏻 Excellent presentation! Thank you.

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.
Very valid and good feedback. Having a practical example will make it far more interesting so I will do my best to do that in the next video, Thanks for posting and watching. Cheers, Martin.
Thanks for enhancing my knowledge
Thanks for the feedback...hope to get part II together soon. Cheers,

Huge help 25yrs since I've had reason to use this equipment thank you
Great tutorial! I've been watching your channel for some time now, and just got my first oscilloscope. Your knowledge of electronics has been invaluable. Thanks so much!
Thank you Martin, very clear explanation. Thank you for your efforts.
help me a lot to understand the basics of Oscilloscope, thank you
Excellent, glad you (both!) enjoyed it and gained some value. Thanks very much for your support. Martin.
It's been decades since I've used an oscilloscope....when they were analog. What a great video for refresh and transition. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this Tutorial! I love the way you slowly made your presentation such that anyone could understand you.
My pleasure, good to know the videos have been of value. Cheers, Martin.
Needed this to get refreshed for an interview tomorrow, calibration technician. Thanks!

A really great basics tutorial; You explain things in a very clear way, thanks !
Nothing to say but THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your knowledge. Your one of a kind.
Great Tutorial, Thanks. It's guys like you that demonstrate the true usefulness of things like TH-cam. Thanks for your hard work.
My pleasure, thanks for the feedback. Probably one of the most reasonable decent scopes is the Rigol DS1052E. Dave Jones of EEVBlog does review on it. Hope that helps.
Martin, your teaching and dialogue converts electronics easy and lovely....thanks
Thanks for your feedback.
From one teacher to another, I can say you are a great one!
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.
What a great video, easy to understand and educational. You have refreshed my rusty old knowledge
Thanks for sharing this video and your insights. Appreciate your help in understanding oscilloscope basics and perspectives.
Thank you for explaining. Great video, nice and simple to follow.
I am in Sylmar California. Always enjoy your material. I have three SnapOn automotive oscilloscopes. Vantage, Vantage Pro and a Verus. I’m just learning. Wrapping my mind around time base is a little challenging. Your first visual aid with the post it notes was very nice.
Thank you for taking the time to emplane the intricacies of how the Ascope functions. I hope, in the other videos that you provided which I have not viewed yet, that you show us which controls to set to be able to allow us to understand the function of the oscilloscope. Again thank you>
Thank you sir. You help sharing wisdom to the younger generations.
You are a awesome teacher.I learned more from yours then any I have watched.thumbs up!
The Best on TH-cam. Added to my favorites, liked, clicked on the ad and subscribed again.
Thanks, more oscilloscope tutorials will follow and I'll eventually do external triggering. Cheers, Martin.
The first part was really eye opening. I never thought of an oscilloscope as a time machine! :D
excellent step by step presentation and illustration. Thank you Sir!
very good speaker, with concise speaking skills and elaboration...thx.
cool video. keep them coming. Two point on the content:
1, the zero line is very important. -12v to 12v has an amplitude of 24v, if you ignore the zero line and just count you will not now if it is -12 to 12 or 0v to 24v
2, i think that the down arrow represents the trigger point, not that the signal is out of the screen
I learned so much from watching your videos thank you very much keep up the good work pS You have the best TH-cam channel
Im going to school For Electronics engineering, this video was awesome and summed everything up i needed to know.
Cheers my friend
Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you for this excellent instructional video .I for one am very appreciative for your effort.Which in turn will enhance my efforts in electronics
You are a excellent teacher keep up the great work I have learned so much from you can't wait to Finish my lab
Respected sir🙏,i enjoyed your lecture a lot
Thank you!!! I have an inherited analogue scope and have never been able to understand it, but I'm hoping your videos will help. You are a star for sharing this knowledge.
I depend entirely on your videos for learning Electronics!
Many thanks,
Another well explain electronic/electricity video done. Very well explained oscilloscope video. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
excellent video. good mix of theory and application. good teaching skills.
Thank you so much for this. I am in an AC Circuits Class that unfortunately is basically a brutal self-taught at the local Technical College here in the States. My instructor is a nice enough guy (As is his assistant that comes in only on Tuesdays.) but the are a number of us in different classes using the same Lab Time and often you have to wait long periods of time to get any help.
Again, thank you. This cleared up some of my questions.
I don't know how to thank you sir. You are amazing ! so clean and quite informative I appreciate for this effort
Thank you for what you have done for me...I am now more knowledgeable about oscilloscopes...You are great explaining concepts!
Thanks Les, that's really great feedback. I hope to have my new scope soon and will continue the oscilloscope tutorials.
Cheers, Martin.
Can you do a tutorial on how to use an analog oscilloscope? and how to apply the probe and where to apply the probe?
Thank you
Thanks for the feedback...and yes...it is cheap...I plan to explain the merits of cheap vs better scopes soon. Cheers, Martin.
great job martin!
have learnt here in 30 min much more then at the university during the electronic practical training.
big thumbs up!
Again, Thank you for sharing this tutorial. Learning something new every day from your channel.
Yes, I do plan to do one.
Thank you very much for your tutorial video . My professor wants us to read his manual before our Lab and I read it over and over again and I really don't know what the heck is going on . I watch this just one and I get through it , now I am ready for the Lab tomorrow , thank you again . I m really appreciate it
