I started watching EEVBlog by searching basic tutorials on UA-cam years ago. Now I do electronics for a living (partially at least). More fundamentals! :)
Awesome!
I come and go with UA-cam channels, like fashion, but it was 2012 when I started watching and haven't looked back.
In our company we actually use your soldering videos to teach interns the basics. There is a huge value in explaining stuff for beginners. :)
I've actually started watching EEVblog, as I liked the more advanced stuff (circuit design) and Dave's tales from his work. The good old days of EEVblog! :)
@Sixta16 You know what, I think a 5 minute segment a week of Dave telling some work story would be very watchable. I bet he has tons of tales to tell.
Thanks for being an inspiration, Dave. You're a great teacher. I'm learning about electronics and you're a big help!
Awesome, keep it up. Build stuff!
I just spent $400 for my first oscilloscope and I am loving learning how to use properly. Looking forward to your next video
You should totally sell kitchen appliances on those 30min tv commercials
Kitchen appliances... or pretty much anything. His speech is so energetic you can't touch the dial
Hahaha yes
yea, give me the number, i gonna dial and order this scope!
Haha - sell tek equipment 😎
0:20 the moldy meter. It measures the mold of a circuit.
Hahahahaa!!!
I don't often comment but thank you for making this video. Very informative for the new player. Thanks for keeping it real and demoing a hobbyist scope over a professional one.
You are hands down the best teacher for electronics on this platform. Thank you for giving the world access to your knowledge! You also keep viewers interested and the information is easy to follow.
1:10 - Upvoted just for the post-it note flipbook! Brilliant! :)
Thank you Dave. This is one of the most valuable channels on UA-cam. Great work!
ur the only person that can make electronics fun to learn.
It's therapeutic watching this, reminds me of when I got my first scope (an Owon) a few years ago now, and knew so little. Your how-not-to-blow-up-your-scope video was how I discovered your channel!
I still know so little now, but I know way more than I did back then. ;)
Sorry for breaking internet protocol and not moaning about how your video wasn't exactly what I personally wanted you to make for me...
Your comment wasn't exactly what I personally wanted to read beneath this video ;-P
Protocol repaired :-D
back to basic. thanks dave
Your videos actually helped get me interested into electronics, planning on taking some classes to get the basics of electronics while in college.
Great stuff for beginners. Excellent production quality on the video too. Incredible good job, Dave!!
Wow... I`ve wtched a 'thousands' videos to learn about the oscillocope. This one is the best
Another fantastic video, clear, concise, factual and fun with it! Thanks again!
once again you have carefully and energetically explained something so that the layman can understand. So I subscribed. Thank you.
Now THIS is what I subscribed for. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.
In the first few minutes i have learned something about oscilloscopes. Thank you.
I was looking for something for my second semester physics students to get a good introduction to oscilloscopes. This is perfect. Thanks.
I really enjoyed this video, even if it was basic information. I think it's great of Dave to do some basic videos to inspire the new casual electronics hobbiest and or children that want to get into the hobby. His enthusiasm and passion for electronics is wonderful and getting people excited to learn is what it's all about for videos like this. There are a ton of "how to use an oscilloscope videos on UA-cam", but they don't have the entertainment value that draws people in. Great video Dave!
Very clear, very crisp not too long. great video for beginners.
Perfect timing Dave, I just got my DS1054Z :D
You have a fantastic, clear, an concise way to explain things, i enjoy your videos very much, I use scopes since 1990 and have a couple of digital ones, but still enjoy your presentation, please keep at it, you are very good.
Thanks.
This is a great video. I am playing around with more electronics each week and your videos are very helpful. I want an oscilloscope now! Thanks EEVBlog!
Thanks Dave! Great video, just what I needed to get in to using oscilloscope!
More of these please! I really enjoyed them, even know there was nothing i didnt know! Good job
Just got an oscilloscope this is a good intro so I actually know what I'm doing with it. Manual is great to tell me how to do things with it, but I need to know what things to do in the first place.
My DS1054z was delivered two days ago. Perfect timing, thanks. :)
I will be troubleshooting a linear PSU soon.
A video I've been waiting years for. Thanks!
This is the video I was too afraid to ask for! Cheers Dave
THIS is great! Perfect level for my knowledge and I understood everything. Thank you so much!
Everything I've ever wanted to know about oscilloscopes (but was too afraid to ask)!!
Thanks Dave!
Yep. I also bought a DS1054Z after watching your reviews. Just as a Brymen 869s multimeter. Thanks for all your cool video's, really enjoying it!
I haven't used an oscilloscope in years and I have a job interview tomorrow where I'll be asked to use one. This is a great refresher. Cheers!
Hi Dave,
I'm happy to see the Oscilloscope tutorial. I spent two years in college as an EE major before switching to and graduating as a Comp Sci major. I still pursue electronics as a hobby and would love to see more of these basics videos.
best,
James
Are you still perusing your hobby?
Fantastic! I think starting right from the basics is a brilliant idea. I found this video very helpful, bonza!
The DSO allowed me to see a glitch occur at a very slow speed. This helped me fix my circuit issue that I could not see with the analog scope
Thanks a lot for this one Dave! Just started my Mechatronics Engineering study. Bloody usefull videos you've got.
Very good content, looking forward for the next one.
I know a little about electronics. By watching these videos I will gain more knowledge. Thanks.
Alas!, a video on O-scopes I can understand, and thanks Dave.
Great introduction, going into the motivation for using oscilloscopes. I'll have my lab students watch this before the in-class intro activity.
great video, cant wait for more on the Oscilloscope
Great video. Just side note, this is why I love analog meters too, I can watch a cap charge etc...
Awesome. First actual examples of use I can understand. Thank you.
Thanks Dave, good into/tutorial on this subject.
Thanks, Dave. Great explanation.
Love the DS1054Z !! Great video !!!
Hi Dave, great video and hopefully you'll follow up and make it a great series. I just thought I'd add some points in from the point of view of a beginner like myself:
1) When a scope mentions bandwidth (Mhz), I used to think of it as the fastest frequency signal that it could display correctly. It's the fastest signal it can monitor while being 3dB down. In most cases the scopes bandwidth is a little higher. So anyone buying a 50Mhz scope looking to monitor max 50mhz signals won't get a 1:1 reproduction. Maybe this is common knowledge, but as a newbie I thought it was good to know.
2) Since the Digital scopes sample the input, as a newbie I thought that sample rate was going to be the same no matter what time base you use or how many channels you have on. But of course the sample rate is a function of both of those (and maybe other things?). Again I was surprised at this and just shows how little I really know about these majestic devices.
Do you know of any other newbie traps like this? Perhaps you can incorporate them into your next videos and give us newbies a chance to catch up and buy something decent for a first scope, thanks!
Thanks! I want to use one with synths and this was a nice video to cover all bases of the basics :)
thank you for these basic intro videos
Your videos are pure gold!
I know this is a older video but I wanted to thank you Dave for your channel. I bought a Rigol 2072a after watching all you o-scope stuff. Was looking at a owon all in one thing but your advice was to buy individual gear. So I have my Rigol scope a fluke 8050 bench meter, a owon handheld (till I get yours) and a cheap power supply. I love most of it but adding as I go. Thanks again for all your work to keep us informed.
Dave, Excellent "Top Notch" explanation. Been using o-scopes for years and now have the DS1054z but didn't know about the ROLL function!! thanks so much and PLEASE continue on with the O-scope tutorials. It would be awesome if you could do another tutorial and dig into some of the other menu items available and help us to understand other essential uses and settings on the DS1054z.
thanks!!
dwight
thanks for this, your educational stuff is great :)
Very exciting stuff here just can't get enough. Tell me more.
the most awesome way to utilize dave-CAD! Genius!
Dave-CAD is the best.
Best explanation I heard so far...
I only want to say thank you for this tutorial!
You are the best tutor ever...😊
Great video!
Looking forward to the next one. Very useful :)
Thanks for this basic video. Thumbs up!
This was very easy/well explained, thanks.
I've been watching your videos for probably about a year now, Dave. I don't know much about electronics but I find them fascinating, and have been enjoying learning somewhat the same way your learn another language by just immersing yourself in it. This kind of video is so perfect for me!
Oscilloscopes were still a bit confusing for me, and this video has really helped fill in the blanks. Thank you Dave!
Thank you so much eevblog, the first time I came in contact with electronics was when I was on Amazon and they had a Arduino kit on sale I told my dad I would like to have it and he got it for me and now it is nearly my b-day and I'm going to setup a lab, and the 330$ lab video you did helped me tremendously and now I'm here watching why and how to use an oscilloscope and it's all thanks to you. Have a great day EEVBLOG.😀😀
God bless you and your channel!
Great introduction to the Oscilloscope.
Eye opening and great ! thanks
Excellent video
I totally forgot it was this video featuring the Rigol 1054 'scope that lit a candle under myself to finally upgrade from my USB scope and get this very model (plus the sneaky software hack upgrade to 100 MHz)
Cheers, Dave! (And UA-cam I guess for re-recommending this video!)
Very good explanation!
Thanks, Ive been waiting for this. Please do a couple more Scope tutorials.
What I would give for video like that 15 years ago...
Keep it up Dave :D
Very nice video for beginners about oscilloscope...
Excellent video Dave. I don't think there's a limit to these so if you could just go around your lab making other introduction videos that would be great :D.
My favorite scope. I used to carry one of these when I was an FE years ago.
Beautiful explanation. Thank you. For me, I am multi meter illiterate. Hard to understand the values shown. Oscilloscope on the other had has opened up a whole new world in automotive electrics.
The hard part is figuring out which oscilloscope to save up for.
The cheapest used one with the largest bandwidth / sample frequency you can find.
Yes and no, Just wantch out for some makes like owon, I got stung for £500 on a 200MHz machine that has terrible aliasing and the power board blew up so it's on life support with an external power brick. I replaced it with a 50MHz rigol for £300 and could not be happier.
Analog stuff needs single shot too. Try to measure the startup behavior of a PSU on an analog scope for example.
I've been looking at scopes and one that seem very popular is Rigol ds1054z. The question is if it's very exaggerated to get as a first scope. It's price is a bit steep but not impossible to save up to.
As an absolute beginner, making electronic just for fun (and guitar pedals), i bought an digital oscilloscope diy kit (24 €) on chinese web site (DSO138). Real fun to mount and enough for my needs. Don't know how accurate it is and how long it will last but great for budget.
Thanks. I'm a newbie and this was useful.
EEVblog the best explanations ever
I bought a Tektronix 2430 digital oscilloscope in a local fair. It's a first generator digital, with a analog tube to display, for an amazing price of 15 euros (yes, no missing zero). The woman said : "This B&W TV set was owned by my son but there's too many buttons I don't know how to tune it and the screen is too small".
I used it for quite a long time but it doesn't work anymore. I then bought a Rigol DS1054Z
Has anyone else noticed how good Dave's video is in 480p and why is that? Remember how horrible 480p was, all blurry and pix-elated.
1:12 The demonstration is very good!
New subscriber- great video! I wish you would do an oscilloscope for dummies video- very few out there on youtube by engaging educators like youself. Might entice more people into the hobby. You rock!
Shut up and take my money, Dave! Great video, love your energy & passion.
Appreciate it when you go back to basics Dave, i'm pretty keen but not completely up to speed.
Would love to see more basics on equipment, discrete components and IC's.
I need to get up to speed on basic circuits ASAP.
BTW, just received my bible, 3rd edition... We're not worthy!
Great video to point people to. How about doing one on the oscilloscope's closest mate the function generator and the uses of the combo?
Thanks for the info, I picked up an analog scope a few years ago for $150...I wanted a digital, but couldn't afford one at the time...but mine (a higher up Tektronics) does measure voltage and hz. I look forward to this series to get the most out of mine.
Very good explanation! I've been called old school because I still use a o-scope after 43 years in the biz. Almost time to retire.
Very positive attitude you got there, and look your scope even has a build in tv... cool... Lol .
This video is much appreciated. Subscribed!
Great video thanks Dave. Trying to buy an oscilloscope as we speak ... determined to try and fix some of my old unworking computers: Apple ][c, Zenith Minisport, etc. I've got a hell of a lot to learn, but learning is so much fun. :)
Wonderful, as usual.
Thank you very much for the video. Could you please please do a complete tutorial series dedicated for oscilloscopes. It would be super easy to teach novice users.
Thank you sir i was afraid of using the oscilloscope ....now i have a good reason to use it!!!!Thank you...
cool I'm a newby to electronics and anything like this helps us newby's loads. keep up the good work; -)
great video mate
Thank you for this video, it is very informative. Now I need to get a scope for my lab ;D
