MOTM

Jim,

Take a cheap patch cord, remove one of the plugs, and connect the signal (center
wire) to the V-Input and the ground (sheild) to the ground below the V-input.  You
should be able to get the waveform to display if you fiddle with the input level and
timebase.  It is fun to watch the scope a time or two and see the effects of filters
on a waveform but beyond that, it isn't very interesting.

A useful application for a scope in the studio can be found at:

Using both the X and Y inputs of the scope to show phase relationships can be very
handy when mixing.
