💡The Tektronix 2445 oscilloscope is a four-channel analog scope from the 90s or late 80s.
🔧Channel 1 of the oscilloscope has a problem with attenuation and is not displaying the waveform correctly.
🖥️The oscilloscope has a CRT display and can show up to four traces at once.
✨The oscilloscope has features like dual trace mode, zooming, and cursors for measurement.
🔍Troubleshooting the scope involves checking the voltage per division settings, coupling, and triggering.
What is the potential cause of the attenuation and filtering issues?
—The cause of these issues could be a faulty relay, solder joint, or physical problem in the scope's hardware.
Does hitting the bottom of the scope affect the signal?
—Yes, hitting the bottom of the scope caused changes in the signal, indicating a potential physical problem.
Can the oscilloscope accurately measure different waveforms?
—The oscilloscope can accurately measure various waveforms such as sine waves, square waves, and more.
Is the oscilloscope digital or analog?
—The Tektronix 2445 oscilloscope is an analog scope with a CRT display.
Are there any limitations of the oscilloscope?
—One limitation of the oscilloscope is the lack of digital storage capability, meaning waveforms cannot be frozen.
