Tektronix Oscilloscope Fundamentals

Getting to Know Oscilloscopes | Tektronix

What do an electrical outlet, an AM radio station, and your kitchen microwave, and cosmic radiation have in common? They all produce waves. To see them, you need an oscilloscope.

Capturing your signal in 5 simple steps | Tektronix

What is an oscilloscope anyway? This Tektronix poster covers the basics of using an oscilloscope—from connecting your probes and setting your scales to choosing triggers and taking measurements. It also describes how to troubleshoot signal issues, aliasing, and more.
