Aside from some sense, that is . You have the scope and probes, that's all you need to make measurements once you know how to use it. For that, you could go back to the friend who gave it to you, he should be at least a little familar withhow to operate it. But since he just gave you an item worth at least $1000 it may not be prudent to pester him with newbie questions. A decent introductory text is "The XYZ's of Oscilloscopes" published by Tektronix. It's available at their web site. Go to www.tektronix.com, select "Oscilloscopes" then "Application Notes," it should be the first one on the list. It's about the only beginner's application note there, most of the others assume quite a bit of experience. ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
