Default Re: Interesting scope repair: Philips PM3315 early DSO

The aliasing is a pain I will say. Sometimes you wonder why it won't trigger and realise you're 5 timebase settings above the actual frequency and watching one of the aliases zoom past and it's triggering quite happily! This has a plotter output and a plot button. I would buy a plotter if I saw one for it just to play with it

I mainly use a PM3217 analogue but this is handy for slow scan/capture and digital stuff. For example I can trace 8 channels of digital if I have a reliable trigger point and some patience. Great for timing diagrams!

The killer for this is I was a complete idiot at using it until I had actually read the manual. I usually use that as a last resort but it is required to even understand the thing!
