Likely not! This is usually a Trigger issue. Ensure your trigger source is set to the correct channel (e.g., Channel 1) and adjust the Trigger Level knob until the indicator line intersects with your waveform. This tells the scope exactly when to start drawing the picture.

Use 10X for almost everything. it reduces the load on your circuit and protects the scope from higher voltages. Use 1X only when you are measuring extremely small signals (millivolts) where the noise floor of the scope might drown out the data.

AC Coupling blocks the DC component of a signal. Use this if you want to look at the “ripple” on a power supply. For example, if you have a $5\text{V}$ power line but want to see the tiny $10\text{mV}$ noise riding on top of it, AC coupling allows you to zoom in without the $5\text{V}$ offset pushing the wave off the screen.

 Yes! Our Archive Restoration service specializes in exactly that. We use technical context and restoration tools to clean up “word-scrambled” or poorly scanned legacy documents, making them readable and searchable again.

Absolutely. Through our Custom Signal Analysis service, we can jump on a video call to look at your scope screen in real-time or analyze data logs you’ve captured from your digital phosphor oscilloscope (DPO).
