VIDEO: Fluke 8808A Bench-Type Multimeter, Part One
Part One of a demonstration of principle functions and features of the Fluke 8808 bench-type multimeter. Hi and welcome to our 57th Test and Measurement Video. Right now we’ll look at the amazing Fluke 8808A bench-type multimeter. For perspective, here are some far less sophisticated but sometimes useful tools that will measure electrical energy. This […]
VIDEO: RF Menu in the Tektronix MDO 3000 Oscilloscope
RF capabilities in the Tektronix MDO3104 oscilloscope are discussed and illustrated, using the RF noise floor as a signal source. Hi and welcome to our 55th Test and Measurement video. The topic is Displaying and Exploring the RF menu in the amazing Tektronix MDO3104 oscilloscope. First, we must make a distinction between the Fast Fourier […]
VIDEO: Displaying and Interpreting Histograms
Histograms are used to interpret a time-domain signal in a Tektronix 3000 Series Oscilloscope. Hi and welcome to our 54th Test and Measurement video. Right now we’ll look at histograms in the amazing Tektronix MDO3104 oscilloscope. The word histogram has not so much to do with history, although that has been suggested, as with the […]
VIDEO: Analyzing Waveforms In The Tektronix MDO 3000 Series Oscilloscope
Trace and Waveform Data are analyzed using tools in the Tektronix MDO3104 oscilloscope. Greetings and welcome to our 53rd Test & Measurement video. Our topic is Analyzing Waveform or Trace Data in the amazing Tektronix MDO 3000 Series oscilloscope. The first task in using an oscilloscope is displaying the signal. For an individual who is […]
VIDEO: Connecting An Oscilloscope To The Internet
A Tektronix 3000 Series oscilloscope is networked to a computer by means of e*Scope web-enabled tools. Hello again and welcome to our 52nd Test and Measurement video. Today we’ll look at another aspect of the amazing Tektronix MDO3104 oscilloscope. It is the instrument’s ability to be accessed and even be controlled by a computer that […]
VIDEO: On The Nature Of The Sine Wave
The Wave Inspector is used to closely examine waveforms in a bench-type oscilloscope. Hi and welcome to our 51th Test and Measurement video. Today’s topic is something we hear a lot about: the sine wave. It has a very characteristic, beautiful appearance. Here’s what the sine wave looks like in the amazing Tektronix MDO3104 oscilloscope. […]
Comparing analog and digital oscilloscope architectures
The first oscilloscope was derived from an apparatus involving a moving pen that recorded a change in voltage on a turning drum or paper strip. The first scope was a quite simple piece of equipment. Its heart was the cathode ray tube (CRT) equipped with vertical and horizontal deflection plates that caused an electron beam […]
