Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

RE: Why aren't you using your scope for problems like this? (nt)

you pretty much know the voltage your testing so that setting is easy.
The other setting you need to adjust is time (frequency)
Other than that, use internal trigger and center the beam. You really don't need to use any advance features for what your doing. Also, get yourself a large 8 ohm resistor for a load.
Once you get the settings in the right place you won't have to change them other than the voltage scale. Start by using you preamp output with a 1khz sine wave, once you get that dialed in, use the voltage setting from then on for other measurements. You cant blow up your scope by being on the wrong setting, it will just be out of range of the screen.
I've read my share of books which never helped me much. Keep building and troubleshooting as there's no better substitute for experience. If you have any experienced friends nearby, have them show you some of the tricks of the trade.
You can then start measuring output, clipping, etc...
