Recommended resource for learning/using this EZ Digital Oscilloscope DS-1100

[creationtribe]

Recently my father-in-law sent my wife and I out to Arkansas from SLC, Utah to pick up a van. Weird, but true. My father-in-law owns an auto repair shop and found this beefed-out van with a wheelchair lift (I guess those are really expensive).

The woman we picked it up from was getting rid of her father's estate after he passed.

While we were there - she had opened his garage to give us the extra seat for the van - I saw an oscilloscope sitting in the corner. I guess the guy was an engineer. One of the really really smart ones that worked on projects 12 levels above top secret. So I had to ask if I could buy it and she just gave it to me along with a bunch of other electronics and gadgets. She just wanted to be rid of it all. The nerd that I am, I couldn't help myself. I came home with a bunch of nutty stuff.

I've never used one before; though I probably know more about them than most people who know what they are but never used one. :P heh

Anyway - what's a good place to start? If I really want to get down and dirty with this thing - does anybody have any recommendations for video tutorials or PDFs online that could put me on a fast-track to using this thing safely and effectively?

I'd love to put it to good use

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

You may want to read Textronix web site to learn the basic about the oscilloscope:

Then try to download the manual for your scope.

@stj - Thank you for the manual. I do have the probes. Though, given the state of them, it might not be a bad idea to order a new set. They were tangled up with a bunch of other dirty greasy cables and they're not in the best shape.

@budm - thank you for the links. I appreciate it
