I bought an Analog scope (Tektronix 2465A DV) because I wanted to learn how scopes work & how to operate them before moving to Digital scopes,(plus, Dave @ EEVBLOG suggested that).
Can I use Digital Function/Waveform Generators with it?
I checked the service manual with my scope and didn't find anything on the Block Diagram. So I went to the Schematics and noticed that the scope has a DAC (U170, 4051DMUX) that Channels 1 & 2 use before the Preamps. I checked and found the DAC is a 74HC4051. So I went to the Datasheet and it says that the IC also does Digital Multiplexing & De-multiplexing.
So does that mean that I can use Digital Function/Waveform Generators with my scope, but I'll only be able to feed signals through Channels 1 & 2?
That's how it looks to me.
Thanks.
