I remember those back in the early 80’s when I first started using storage scopes. And if you needed to document the readings, good old polaroid cameras with a screen attachment. Analog all the way. Yeah man, I’m an old geezer.
but can it run doom
analog scopes are so cool
Nice, a vintage pong machine.
Insert Star Trek reference here.
We used a normal scope, but with a single shot setup and basically polaroid film. Maybe it has this feature. That has been many years.
Tektronix used to make a computer terminal that used a storage tube : https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Tektronix_4010
Crank up the persistence and grab to Polaroid!
I’ve used those, they were great.
I still have an analog scope in the lab, because it has a feature none of my digital ones have: Dual time-base with separate triggers. Absolutely a must when you want to compare two signals that are not time synced.
cool stuff.
i remember an analog phospore storage on some spectrum analyzers too. with some screwing with it, you could accurately measure VCO settling time and post tuning drift.
Woah that’s awesome. Is that a mesh storage CRT? What’s the typical lifespan like, do you think? I own several analogue oscilloscopes (including a model from the same line, a PM3200X), but nothing that cool!
That’s my heartbeat when I go to the ER…
