I'll second that, the Tek 465B is a very nice little oscilloscope.

As far as I remember:

- "Select Waveform" determines the Active Waveform - e.g. for cursor measurements.

- You can connect to a PC if your unit has the GPIB interface option.

- It's hard for me to visualize the dual timebase problem. But it might be linked to the Trigger Position Setting. Set it to 0% Pre-Trigger, and you should see the same thing in analog and digital mode. If not, can you post a screen photo?

I'll try to post pictures

but I don't clearly understant the weveform select, when I move the cursor, the 2 cursors move (1 for each channel)


I don' think I have an option on the scope, but can I connect it to a computer with on of the 2 output ports? Like it the scope was thinking it's connected to a printer, and the pc gets the data to print

PC Connection

Yes, you can do that, if you have the right software on your PC to capture the image and store it. Tek used to provide software that did that; no idea if it's still available.
