Title: Video Oscilloscope Tutorial for Beginners.
Authors: MacIsaac, Dan1 (AUTHOR) danmacisaac@gmail.com
Source: Physics Teacher. May2026, Vol. 64 Issue 5, p439-439. 1p.
Subjects: Oscilloscopes, Electric current measurement, Electric current rectifiers
Abstract: The article highlights a 35-minute beginner-friendly video guide on using a modern digital oscilloscope, specifically the Rigol DS1054, produced by TheEngineeringMindset.com. The video covers fundamental topics such as probe calibration, reading the oscilloscope grid, digital measurements, triggering methods, grounding considerations, current measurement techniques, XY mode, mains safety, and analyzing a simple unregulated bridge rectifier power supply circuit. It also includes internal chapters and linked resources for deeper exploration. This resource is recommended for introductory physics learners and educators seeking practical oscilloscope instruction. [Extracted from the article]
