content: A song that feeds the XY coordinates on your scope and, well watch it all the way through. I tried this tonight on my scope and it did work (video is not my scope)http://web.mit.edu/sdmorr/Public/oscillofun.flacuse this song if you want to try it.

content: YouScope is more visually diverse, but the quirk of Oscillofun is that the waveforms is actually listenable music.

content: Quote from: Stonent on August 04, 2013, 02:29:16 amI have a crusty old $40 B&K and I was just about to post that unfortunately I don't have the required mode to do this because it wasn't working (just A, B, A&B, A+B, A-B) but I just remembered that the "Variable Sweep Time/CM" knob can be turned all the way right to where it says CH B. So I deleted what I just typed because it works.It's quite messy in places but at least I got it working

content: after my ok attempt at beams of light the other week i'm going to sort out a dac that doesn't mess up the output and make a series of videos, i might even make some comparisons between lossy codecs and see how they look

content: Quote from: GeorgeOfTheJungle on July 02, 2014, 01:35:31 pmThat would be why lossy audio codecs aren't used to compress vector graphics.It's a cool illustration of what those codecs do, but not in any way appropriate to evaluate how they sound.
