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!
Brady Jackson My pleasure Brady.
+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.
solid, detailed description, once again. I really appreciate you giving your hard earned knowledge out there for free. I've learned a lot from you, thank you.
👍🏻 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.
The Best on UA-cam. Added to my favorites, liked, clicked on the ad and subscribed again.
You're a godsend for your thoroughness. 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!
A really great basics tutorial; You explain things in a very clear way, thanks !
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.
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
Again, Thank you for sharing this tutorial. Learning something new every day from your channel.
This is a 10/10 guide. So glad I found this, and thank you for posting!
Thank you for this Tutorial! I love the way you slowly made your presentation such that anyone could understand you.
Huge help 25yrs since I've had reason to use this equipment thank you
Needed this to get refreshed for an interview tomorrow, calibration technician. Thanks!
I had no idea what an oscilloscope was used for, now I do. Thank you for taking the time to create this video.
I depend entirely on your videos for learning Electronics!
Many thanks,
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!
Martin, your teaching and dialogue converts electronics easy and lovely....thanks
Thank you very much for refreshing my memory about the use of oscilloscope
You are a awesome teacher.I learned more from yours then any I have watched.thumbs up!
Fantastic explanation. Never understood this in undergrad, but now I have to understand it in graduate school. Thanks a lot!
What a great intro as I am have just purchased my first scope. Excellent introduction. Thanks !!!
From one teacher to another, I can say you are a great one!
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.
Thanks for the clear and informational Video. I am very appreciative of the work you're doing. I surely will continue watching the next videos. Cheers
You are a very good teacher! Thank you for selflessly giving of your time.
Thank you Martin, found this very helpful clear and easy to follow
Mike
Nothing to say but THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your knowledge. Your one of a kind.
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
You are a excellent teacher keep up the great work I have learned so much from you can't wait to Finish my lab
Thank you for a great little lesson/howto, much appreciated, thumbs up and continuing to part 2
What a great video, easy to understand and educational. You have refreshed my rusty old knowledge
great job martin!
have learnt here in 30 min much more then at the university during the electronic practical training.
big thumbs up!
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 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!
Great Tutorial, Thanks. It's guys like you that demonstrate the true usefulness of things like UA-cam. Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge sir. I just finished watching the video for Oscilloscope and it helped me a lot... I will be browsing your channel hopping to find anything related to CRT.
Thanks
You are doing a tremendous job to share your knowledge for all of us hobbyists or industry engineers alike. Keep up the great work! .....many thanks.
going threw every one of these over and over. thank you for your attention to detail! :D
Very informative, thank you! Will tune in for the basics of how to connect it to different circuits for measurements.
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.
Thank you Martin, very clear explanation. Thank you for your efforts.
great explanation!! it helped me a lot. we learn everyday because of people like you.
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.
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.
I don't know how to thank you sir. You are amazing ! so clean and quite informative I appreciate for this effort
Thanks for sharing this video and your insights. Appreciate your help in understanding oscilloscope basics and perspectives.
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.
Thanks for the feedback...hope to get part II together soon. Cheers,
Martin.
Thank you for what you have done for me...I am now more knowledgeable about oscilloscopes...You are great explaining concepts!
This was extremely helpful. Thank you.
Thank you very much! This comment section is extremely respectful and beautiful. It's quite refreshing to see this in UA-cam! Your oscilloscope tutorial was the best, sir. Please keep making more of them.
Great! You lesson was just a nice surprise in my life. You brighten my knowledge scope on Osc. with in a short time. Thank you sooo much.
Hi Martin, excellent lesson for a newbie like myself to using an oscilloscope. Very good explanation of the very basics. I have purchased a RIGOL DS1052E (Upgraded to 100MHz) to use with my introduction to electronics and think this tutorial is the the best I have come across. I have learnt more after watching this video than reading the user manual and a book on using oscilloscopes. I look forward to the next installment. Keep up the good work.
Many thanks,
Regards,
Les.
I'm learning electronics again after a 20 year break, it all looks alien. Thanks for sharing, I need the help.
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.
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
The first part was really eye opening. I never thought of an oscilloscope as a time machine! :D
Great video, explanations are simple and easy to understand. Practical examples with the capacitor and test signal also help clarify how to operate the device.
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.
This is, in essence, a great video. Extremely helpful!
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
Thank you sir. You help sharing wisdom to the younger generations.
Thank you for explaining. Great video, nice and simple to follow.
Well Done! I am a newbie to using an old analog scope..This helped a lot.Will look for others you do for sure.
My pleasure, thanks for the feedback.
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 !
Excellent tutorial, thank you for dedicating your time to help out a fellow enthusiast!
thanks i now have a much better understanding and with your simple explaination it could not be better thanks again keep it up.
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.
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.
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.
Excellent video I now can understand oscilloscope much better .Thanks for your time.
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 UA-cam. Thank you.
Im going to school For Electronics engineering, this video was awesome and summed everything up i needed to know.
Cheers my friend
excellent step by step presentation and illustration. Thank you Sir!
Thank you for this tutorial. I have used oscilloscopes in the past, but it had been so long and that I was a little concerned I would have trouble picking it back up again. I looked up a video just to remind myself, and this was much easier than I was thinking.
The Huntron Scanners I use at work are much more complicated than an o-scope. I really only needed to look at it and its buttons to remember how to use it, but I stayed because your explanation was just so nice and useful.
Thank you again for helping smooth,away my worry that I wouldn't remember how this worked,
My pleasure, good to know the videos have been of value. Cheers, Martin.
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.
Excellent video! Continue educating the world mate!
Awesome Video! Thanks Martin - just at the pace I needed. Look forward to watching the rest of the playlist.
Thanks for enhancing my knowledge
Very good explanation. I'm a beginner in electronics and I learned a lot with your video.
Thanks!
Great video, being new to oscilloscopes this video is one of the best I've viewed! Hope you have some more at your website! Thanks much.
Great Video Martin! Ocilloscope's explained without all the convoluted crap that most people throw in
Am Looking forward to learning loads more from you, Excellent Stuff!
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>
Very informative. I have my first scope on the way and can't wait to use it now. Thanks.
Respect. Thank you, from Argentina!
What a great video. Well explained. I was recently given an oscilloscope, and now I can test it out with at least some idea of what I'm looking at.
Top marks to you and thanks.
Excellent, glad you (both!) enjoyed it and gained some value. Thanks very much for your support. Martin.
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.
Excellent Tutorial.Keep doing the good work,Thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you so much! you just made it so easy to understand!
Very good job here. Well thought out, well presented, thank you for taking the time to put this together and share. Very helpful.
Thanks for the kind words and feedback..
Great video - I have just started learning and this is a great help.
I just bought a cheap scope - this is gold. 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.
My pleasure, thanks for the feedback and support. Cheers, Marin.
