How Do I Draw a Square Instead of a Circle on an XY Oscilloscope?
Compare sine and square waves in BeamTracer OSC-1. See the two channel waveforms, change phase, and record the resulting XY picture with its actual sound.
How Do I Measure Stereo Phase on an Oscilloscope?
Compare left and right channel phase in BeamTracer OSC-1. Use SCOPE and MEAS, test circle, line and ellipse presets, and record the XY drawing with sound.
How Do I Record Oscilloscope Art as a Video with Sound?
Record BeamTracer OSC-1's live picture and audio as a WebM. Choose the video shape, capture a changing figure, and learn when to use Render Video for MP4.
