Just bought this scope, im new to this, and no tech 🙁.
I've read the manual, looked at videos and still, can't measure sine and even DC voltages with that!. Somebody give me the cheapest multimeter or even a tape measure!...
Is this model non-intuitive? or i'm the idiot? (maybe i am! 🙂

Most digital scopes are similar to use, start with p. 5 and 13. Use the built-in square wave for an input.
But you will have to read the manual carefully to do much more than that.

Just a quick word , don't buy a cheap oscilloscope probe , I know industrial ones are dear but ones like Tektronix are good , mine haven't let me down-----yet.
Ok, did some experimenting and, channel 2 is the one not showing any voltages. I open-up the ''voltage box'' in channel 2 and, absolutely no numbers show-up... Channel 1 is showing em.
Measurements are bound to a channel, the measure button will pull up lots of options for adding new measurements typically. The default state probably only has some measurements on the first channel for simplicity.
Connect both probes to the same signal. If using the internal square wave,
it is not necessary to connect the grounds at all. Now both traces should be
the same if you choose auto setup. If they are superimposed, use the vertical
position for CH1 to move one up a little.
