Most modern DSO’s don’t have Alternate Triggering, but Dave shows you how to do it anyway! This allows you to trigger on and view and anaylse two otherwise asynchronous time un-correlated signals on the screen at once. Also a look at Dual Time Base oscilloscopes. Oscilloscope Tutorial Video Playlist Forum ...

A comprehensive tutorial on room (space) heater technology and their effectiveness and efficiency in heating rooms and homes. The different types of heat transfer are discussed, along with the different types of heater technology available and how they apply to room and object heating. The 2nd law of thermodynamics, and ...

PCB mod boards are useful for a whole range of applications and scenarios from production to upgrades, repair, and hacks. Dave shows you several examples and talks about creating manufacturing panels for them, along with castellations, V-Scoring, routing, and manufacturability. Forum HERE Podcast: Download

A look at the dual bipolar transistor zener clamp circuit, and it’s usefulness as a fast low leakage overload clamp. The first part is lifted from video #1000 with 12 minutes of extra commentary. Interview with Dave Taylor, designer of the famous Fluke 8060A multimeter Forum HERE Podcast: Download

Circuit building block time. The capacitance multiplier and how it gives almost negligible power supply ripple compared to a voltage regulator. Whiteboard theory and then some bench demonstrations and experiments. Plus a twist at the end that proves that the “Capacitance multiplier” is perhaps one of the most mis-named circuits ...
