3.0 out of 5 stars Patchwork updates of this book over the years really shows
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.

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.
