I'd like to see as many analog scope schematics as I can get my hands on. So if you have any, or have links to some, could you post them please?
Why? I'm thinking of undertaking an educational project of building of building an analog scope. I know what you're thinking.
0) Hey good idea! Even if it doesn't work out, the schematics will be around, from which other can learn!
0.1) Why? Education
0.2) Why? Because I think it will be fun.
0.3) Why? What are we a 2 year old? move on...
1) What about the tube? Once I get to the point where x-y-intensity coordinates of the trace are ready to plot, I expect to do a A-D conversion and send it to a graphics unit to display. Basically a digital tube, nothing more.
2) Why not build a DSO? Because I want to learn more analog and, well, go big or go home. Also, I have done data/signal processing in computers for years and I want something different.
2.1) What about cost, won't it just cost more than a decent DSO? Maybe, see question 0.1. Education.
3) Okay... How fast? As fast as possible. Being naïvely "realistic", I think a 20MHz scope would not be out of the question. 20yr old scopes are 20Mhz. I'm pretty sure I could make a reasonable approximation using the same chips, or possibly higher performance updates.
3.1) Number of Channels? >=2.
3.2) What features? Basic regular 2 channel 20MHz stuff. These details will get sorted as the research phase continues.
4) What about <insert item here>? Don't know, you'll need to ask.
5) Pink is a colour right? well, no.. See minutephysics on YouTube.
