Hi, these old analogues are beautiful and when you can control them it's even nicer - beautifully explained. I shed a tear and remembered my stolen TEK, I almost envy you that five-channel. Nice day 🙂 Tom
Thanks. I’m slowly tracing back from my channel 2 to see where I lose the signal. I really want this Dumont 2100G fixed. Your videos help me the most on YT. Keep em coming.
Although you said it at 7:20, I was thinking how grateful I am for digital oscilloscopes much earlier in the video. On the other hand, operating all those lovely mechanical controls instead of futzing with a touchscreen sure makes you feel like you are really doing something. I got rid of my last analog 'scope several years ago, and sometimes I regret it--until I remember how much more efficient I am these days using a digital instrument. Love this current series.
Analog scopes respond to EVERY glitch whereas digital sampling often skips brief transients. Presently, this is less true for multi-GHz scopes, but you don't find those for a few Benjamins on ebay.
@@byronwatkins2565 it often is the other way around. A glitch that happens only occasionally is invisible on the analog scope because it needs repeated signals to show. The digital can trigger on that one event and record it.
I'll take a digital scope over these old things, most people would. I also prefer my 2019 car over an old 70's auto. I also prefer using my cell phone over one of those 70's payphones, but that's just me.
Very good explanation! I believe the sweep will be generated more often if there are fewer cycles of the original waveforms displayed. If this is true, doing so will make the delayed signals brighter as well.

Fascinating, I have seen this on older scopes but never knew what it did and now it makes perfect sense !....cheers.

@@BaldurNorddahl A regular glitch and an intermittent fault are two different signals.
@@joparkcat It is possible to have both...
Never knew what those did. I'll have to get mine out and do some playing around.

It's good for measuring jitter in a recurring signal.
Hint, hint, hint,.... I would like to see a chip of the day on that Burr Brown HV power Op amp!
Grateful for the videos but if possible in future to add how to hook up oscilloscope probes to a project safely, thanks
My scopes don't have these functions. LOL.
