I had the misfortune today to have to use a TDS 1012 !
For the sake of my sanity I won't go into the exactly gory details but amongst
my irritation with it was the way I simply couln't get tit to display anything
remotely like a usable trace. I was just looking for some lowish level audio
band noise btw (actually line frequency hum).
In the end I was able to press into service an ancient Telequipment D67

which finally gave me a trace I could do something useful with.
My primary probem in attempting to view the noise I was looking for was that the
Tek was triggering on and displaying vast quantites (~1.5V) of ~ 48kHz.
I eventually discovered that simply turning on the TPOS (total piece of shit)
1012 swamped the trace on the Telequipment too !
Ye Gods ! What one earth possesed them to make such a time wasting, RFI
radiating godawful pile of crap ?

p.s. don't even get me started on trying to use Ch1 and Ch2 in difference mode
either. Also please don't mention 'menus' ! Sheesh ! Now if I'd had my 465
there........
