my dad seriously just brought home an actual oscilloscope
ursus:
This is way cooler than the wire screen shit I made with a sine gate and a timer.
Sabb:
What is it? ;_;
Rocket50:
Wait, why?

It's a giant box that displays waveforms.
Have you ever seen one of those simple wiremod contraptions that just displays a circle that goes around and around on the screen?
This is that in real life, except it makes waveforms instead of circles.

scilloscopes are commonly used to observe the exact wave shape of an electrical signal. In addition to the amplitude of the signal, an oscilloscope can show distortion, the time between two events (such as pulse width, period, or rise time) and relative timing of two related signals.
