I received the Voltcraft DS)-1062D (aka as the Hantek/Tekway with similar model numbers) scope last friday and did some first tests with it this weekend.
Thought it would be fun to have a look at some signals on the Amplifone monitor in my SW cockpit and show some screenshots:
Here you see the X (yellow) and Y (Blue) signals of the running attract screen.
The signals represent the voltages that make the electron beam move across the screen. You can _not_ see wether the beam is on or off though, as this is a third signal and this would require a 4 channel scope to see.
So, if we just look at the X wave form, imagine that the top of the waves is the farthest left of the screen and the lowest points of the wave is the far right.
The Y signal, same thing, but here the top is the top of the screen and the bottom....you guessed it.
(Note: I do not actually know if this is true, it might be inverted but that doesn't really matter all that much
)
You can see that the waveforms are all "crazy" and that is simply because it is drawing all the elements on the screen that we want to see as the game.
What you can notice about the waveforms:
1) You can actually see two waveforms over each other. This is because the scope cannot trigger ("hold") on the signal because of it's irregularity.
2) You can easily see the X signal is higher then the Y signal. (In technical terms, the amplitude is higher). This is normal, because the X axis of the screen is wider than the Y axis.
