Oscilloscope Music on DSOs- Post your Results

@ Anthocyanina
Did you compose the tune yourself? It is catchy.
What synthesizer did you play it with?

Only to find that the scope does not support a Z input (for beam intensity modulation) at all. Bummer...
I'm afraid the excitement about CROs finally having become totally redundant is premature. :-\

Aside from the "fun" aspect (video games, turning your scope into a "TV", etc.), Z mode is still being used by quite a few people. I'm not sure I'm allowed to say who is still using it for what, but I would be interested in hearing from people who (would) use Z mode for "serious" applications.

"Blanking" can also be done using an external trigger-in signal (if available). This is one way of creating constellation diagrams without a "true" XYZ input (and what I used in this short video, since the RTM does not have a Z input either)

hi, no, oscillofun is by Atom Delta, and potential is forever is by Chris Allen. I just click play on the music player and record the oscilloscope screen :p

i need an analog Z input for testing old arcade pcb's properly,
my old D83 RACKMOUNT is huge and heavy - i'd like to replace it with a modern scope, but i must have variable blanking - trigger tricks of on/off blanking isnt going to do it

Telequipment ?
Nice CRO using a Tek 7603 CRT providing a very crisp trace.
Was my first scope.
