Title: Patchwork updates of this book over the years really shows
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 26, 2007
Review: This book contains a lot of good information on oscilloscopes that you really can't get in any other stand alone book. The problem is that the first edition of this book was in the early 1980's, and now the fifth edition was released in 2001. Oscilloscopes have changed a lot in those 20 years, this book has tried to keep pace, but the patchwork of add-ons and other enhancements really shows.

What's really needed is a complete re-write or at least a complete re-organization of this book. Many the key topics of oscilloscopes are covered by referencing old obsolete oscilloscopes. This of course is foolish and is the result of quickly patching the book over years by adding new chapters for new technology, but not fixing the existing chapters to reference current technology.

Anyways, there is still a lot of great information here. It's just not presented in the ideal way.

Review: I'm a first time user of oscilloscopes, and this book starts in well in advance of my beginners ability. I'm sure it's great for folks who have a fairly good background with oscilloscopes already, but I need to back up a ways for my learning skills. I think it'll help me out more in the future after I get some good hands on experience. An oscilloscope isn't something you just plug in and start poking around on electrical circuits with. You need patience and previous knowledge of the workings of components and circuitry to make it useful.
