Applications

For the applications discussed here, these are the recommended oscilloscopes.

These application notes cover the “how to” in using our products. Some deal with the technical aspects of the various measuring devices and methods. They are written to be understood by new hams, yet provide the theoretical background when needed. All the application notes are in PDF format. These notes are copyright protected but may be down loaded as long they are for individual use only and their entire contents is shown.
