Oscilloscope Techniques(by Alfred Haas 1958)225 pages in easy to read Adobe PDF format on CDTalks a little about how oscilloscopes work, but this is mostly a guide on how to make measurements with an Oscilloscope. Practical examples of measurements made on audio, radio, and TV circuits. Even includes info on how to use an Oscilloscope as a curve tracer for vacuum tubes and semiconductors, and to make swept measurements.Contents:The Cathode Ray Tube Oscilloscope Ci...rcuitry Oscilloscope Accessories Measuring Electrical Magnitudes Networks and Waveforms Display of Characteristics Fundamental Electronic Circuits Checking Receiver Circuits Waveforms in B&W and Color Televisions Oscilloscope Fault Patterns“OSCILLOSCOPE TECHNIQUES“ by Alfred Haas (1958, 225 pages).
