It has two channels (I and II). I want to make a diagram with multiple oscilloscopes showing where they are all connected. It is possible to use the same code on Tikz multiple times and connect a point in the first picture to a point on another one? For example, can I do something as shown below?

    You can use ‘remember picture’ to remember the coordinates and then ‘overlay,remember picture’ to connect them.

    The only problem is that you need to use different coordinate names for different oscilloscopes. Alas, a savebox won't do the trick.

It has two channels (I and II). I want to make a diagram with multiple oscilloscopes showing where they are all connected. It is possible to use the same code on Tikz multiple times and connect a point in the first picture to a point on another one? For example, can I do something as shown below?

    You can use ‘remember picture’ to remember the coordinates and then ‘overlay,remember picture’ to connect them.

    The only problem is that you need to use different coordinate names for different oscilloscopes. Alas, a savebox won't do the trick.

Here is a possible way.




  1. Name the coordinates you want to connect. I did that for CH I.

  2. Add remember picture in the tikzpictures.

  3. Give each tikzpicture a different name prefix. This is needed to give the coordinates unique names (cf. John Kormylo's comment). To simplify things I created a macro that does the picture and has the name prefix as its argument.

  4. Connect the coordinates in a tikzpicture with options overlay, remember picture. The coordinates will have names (<prefix><name specified>). The following contains one example.

You need to compile twice.



ADDENDUM: As for your request in the comments: I stored the angles of the channels I and II in pgf keys whose default values match the above. In the extended version, you can set these keys in the optional argument of the command, e.g. 



Oscilloscope[oscilloscope/channel 1=135,oscilloscope/channel 2=225]{R-}

  • Looks great :) Can I configure each scope individually? Say, set the knobs in the one on the left in one position and the knobs in the one on the right in another.

Here is a possible way.




  1. Name the coordinates you want to connect. I did that for CH I.

  2. Add remember picture in the tikzpictures.

  3. Give each tikzpicture a different name prefix. This is needed to give the coordinates unique names (cf. John Kormylo's comment). To simplify things I created a macro that does the picture and has the name prefix as its argument.

  4. Connect the coordinates in a tikzpicture with options overlay, remember picture. The coordinates will have names (<prefix><name specified>). The following contains one example.

You need to compile twice.



ADDENDUM: As for your request in the comments: I stored the angles of the channels I and II in pgf keys whose default values match the above. In the extended version, you can set these keys in the optional argument of the command, e.g. 



Oscilloscope[oscilloscope/channel 1=135,oscilloscope/channel 2=225]{R-}

  • Looks great :) Can I configure each scope individually? Say, set the knobs in the one on the left in one position and the knobs in the one on the right in another.

    @Rodrigo Yes. I added a version that has this possibility.

Here is a possible way.




  1. Name the coordinates you want to connect. I did that for CH I.

  2. Add remember picture in the tikzpictures.

  3. Give each tikzpicture a different name prefix. This is needed to give the coordinates unique names (cf. John Kormylo's comment). To simplify things I created a macro that does the picture and has the name prefix as its argument.

  4. Connect the coordinates in a tikzpicture with options overlay, remember picture. The coordinates will have names (<prefix><name specified>). The following contains one example.

You need to compile twice.



ADDENDUM: As for your request in the comments: I stored the angles of the channels I and II in pgf keys whose default values match the above. In the extended version, you can set these keys in the optional argument of the command, e.g. 



Oscilloscope[oscilloscope/channel 1=135,oscilloscope/channel 2=225]{R-}

Note that this is a start. You can store many more parameters in pgf keys, and also simplify the code quite a bit.






share|improve this answer















Here is a possible way.




  1. Name the coordinates you want to connect. I did that for CH I.

  2. Add remember picture in the tikzpictures.

  3. Give each tikzpicture a different name prefix. This is needed to give the coordinates unique names (cf. John Kormylo's comment). To simplify things I created a macro that does the picture and has the name prefix as its argument.

  4. Connect the coordinates in a tikzpicture with options overlay, remember picture. The coordinates will have names (<prefix><name specified>). The following contains one example.
