Greetings Friends! We begin today’s lesson with “PicoScope 2204A vs FNIRSI 2C53P Oscilloscopes for Home Electronics Experiments" in AC Electronics Topic # 2 by the KOGUY. You can successfully complete AC electronics experiments at home with either of these two instruments. Each has its own unique advantages. Another device, the FNIRSI 2C23T will be evaluated in my AC Electronics Topic # 3.

At less cost than some of your textbooks, you CAN perform AC electronics experiments at home with your own o'scope and signal generator! The PicoScope and the FNIRSI are 2 great engineering companies with contrasting philosophies of form and purpose. Journey with me as we learn how their use can be applied to electronic engineering experiments at home!

Our primary focus in my videos is on “hands-on” training, Why? Because You learn BEST by doing the experiments with your own hands!
