The hacklab has a new scope, which was donated by Onestop Media Group.
It's a Tektronix TDS2012B -- a 2-channel, 100MHz digital storage oscilloscope.
It comes with some accessories that should remain with the scope at all times:
- two 100MHz probes
- manual
- power cord
The scope should remain a part of the electronics workbench at all times... and should never leave the lab except under exceptional circumstances.
You can find the manual here:
If you've never used an oscilloscope before, please read the manual or find someone at the lab to train you. It's not difficult to use, but some help will save you a lot of frustration.
If you have any tricks or tips using the scope, please place them on the page!
Scope Tips:
- If you're not seeing a stable waveform, make sure the TRIGGER settings are correct! You need to be triggering on the correct input at the very least! Hit that TRIG MENU button and take a look at the settings.
