From 19:00 onwards, expected to last an hour or so.
Goal of the training is to beable to properly use the Oscilloscopes in the space. Understanding the (basic) 'scope use while not being a danger to either the scope or yourself.
Although everybody is welcome to attend. The experience level expected that you know how to handle a regular multimeter (basic knowledge of electricity, ohms law, frequencies, etc.)
At the training the space will probably have 3 scopes, 2 analog and 1 Digital.
An interesting aspect might be that you will hear different sounds, and visualize how they look on the screen of an oscilloscope. You will hear and see different waveforms like a sine wave, triangle, block wave, noise, etc.
I will also, but that is a somewhat more advanced topic, try to show you how to use the two channels of the scope in um... differential mode, so channel 1 will draw the X axis, and channel 2 will draw the Y axis. We then can make cute pictures on screen. Ultratux 03:11, 4 April 2013 (CEST)
