I tried to do a search on the matching serial number and a few model numbers but found nothing. https://service.keysight.com/infoline-demo/public/details.aspx?i=COV |

It ended up being the 54603B. It was $50 and didn't include probes. I went for it because it should more than meet my needs for now. But, an upgrade may be in the future. |

Congratulations!!! This oscilloscope series is very smooth to use. I really have fond memories of using one in the early 1990s. |

I got and calibrated a pair of probes recently. Having zero EE training and also having never used an oscilloscope before, I expected a steep learning curve and lots of confusion. But, the scope is so logical and simple to use that I've really been learning a ton without too much confusion. Everything sort of just makes sense. Plus there's something very satisfying about the whole green on black CRT thing. I went with the cheap $10 probes from Amazon. They feel...cheap. What is a good brand of probe that's easy to find in the US? I'm thinking one or two 1:10 probes might be nice because those cheap ones from Amazon seem to be a little too easily switched between 1:1 and 1:10. Thanks again for the advice, all! |
