Do you have an instruction book for it? There is some information on the web. I did not search for a free instruction book but its worth your doing so.
?? Have you much experience using a scope?
?? If you can see the calibrator using a probe the scope is working. Try another signal source, even just put your finger on the end of a probe, you should see a lot of noise and probably hum. I am not familiar with the? 464 but from what's on the web it appears to be a fairly straight forward scope.
?? Do you have any other instrument that can confirm there is anything coming out of your "tutor"?.

I'm still very new at learning how to use a scope, but I'm getting mighty
frustrated.
I bought a used 464 and have been able to get it to display a straight line
as well as its square wave from the calibration thing on the back. But
beyond that, nothing. I have a little 9v "tutor" that is supposed to
generate different signals but I can't even get past step 1: read voltage.
I've watched tutorials online and get that there's a balance between the
delay and the volts per div knobs but no amount of adjustment will show me
anything beyond a straight line.
Maybe the generated signal is outside the range of this scope? Is there
another test I can do to see if it's even functioning?
Thanks for your help!
