#130 This is a small video series I started to work on dedicated to measuring and fine-tuning crystal oscillators. First thing to check and correct is of course is the oscillator frequency - no point in having a precise crystal if its not used to its full potential. I look over how this can be done and show various ways of measuring this parameter without interfering with the oscillator operation.

Oscillation frequency measurement: youtu.be/cygasKvdbP8
Drive level measurement: youtu.be/DQ1Gsfw5nk0
