Bode Plots on an Oscilloscope: The Old Way vs. The New Way

How to perform a Bode plot measurement on a Keysight InfiniiVision Oscilloscope.

Learn how to perform a Bode plot measurement on an oscilloscope using the traditional manual method based on an external function generator versus using an oscilloscope with an integrated function generator and automatic Bode plot capability.

You should blacklist the viewers that called you a “moron” and repossess any equipment they may have. Who cares how you pronounce the guys name? Thanks for taking the time to make the video, it is very helpful. I’ve only recently (the past year or so) started down the rabbit hole that is EE and RF and videos like yours have been invaluable. Again, thanks for the video and I look forward to seeing the next one. -Jason Burchell

Good video. On pronunciation - I did HP Neophyte training some 42 years ago. When we got to Santa Rosa (Network and Spectrum Analyser divisions) when referring to characteristic impedance Z0, the students (from all over the world) had no idea what Zeee sub Ohhh meant. We sat there stupified until we had the instructor write it on a board - he meant what we knew to be Zed-nought. Good times.

Very illustrative!!! John, we enjoy all your videos!!!

Nice. I am using 1204G.
How can I use frequency axis as linear ?

what would make a better technician video is to use the Bode Plot test equipment to troubleshoot and setup some basic electronic devices. 😎 Thanks for the nice info.

Hello everyone,
I have a question, and I'm hoping someone can assist me with it. I need to conduct frequency response analysis on the stator winding of a three-phase induction motor. The challenge is that we don't have a frequency response analyzer (kit) available. As an alternative, I plan to use the DSOX1202G Oscilloscope. Could anyone provide guidance on how I can effectively use the oscilloscope for this purpose?

[Chris-hyjy]

It's standard on the cheapest scope and an option on the more expensive scopes! That just about sums up the Scope market today. Enable a software feature and pay an extra $10k!! Madness.

Could you also show a way in between, i.e. sweeping and using the trigger from the signal generator to plot kind of like a poor man's Bode plot? One could probably add a peak detector to plot a single line instead of a continuous signal. Not quite as fancy but much better than plotting by hand.

[darrellhagan]

Very good. I just use a spectrum analyzer w/tracking generator for such things :).

[glasslinger]

Just ordered my DSOX1202-200G. I suppose the plot is much faster for a smaller range. (I hope) One royal bitch I have found with Keysight is trying to order a hardcopy user manual for the scope! So far I only get links to the download copy. Back when HP ran the show it was not a problem at all.

did you say "semper fi" at the end?

[dayworkhard]

Good job though I bought a Rigol DHO924s which has almost everything hackable inside.

How to transfer all data settings, parameters values, graphs into Pendrive from DSOX1102G?

[manojsuthar]

Should be included in next firmware update in DSO-X 2000 series !!!

bode only for filters, , passive filters, , , or, ,, how to get bode for amplifier pls

[kaybhee]

from ur specs cannot tell what improvement in amplitude accuracy on the sig gen of edu 1000g vs a separate edu external sig gen... si, , , amplitud accuracy, , , noise etc any major improvents or no... trying to design mm and mc phono cartridge amps ... and condenser mic pre amps....

Loved your reply to a couple of still-in-diapers engineers, LOL.

[yanfishtwig]

Very annoyingly the marketing people at keysight decided NOT to have FRA for the dsox2000 series bha humbug

[PaulaBean]

"It's my way or the Bode way" 😁

[cong-organic]

Loved the old way, it saves money, lol
