https://www.edn.com/design/analog/4421567/Simple-circuit-enables-oscilloscope-art?utm_content=buffer4a139&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer I built the circuit from this EDN article. I could not find exactly right component values from my lab, so I used 180 pF capacitor and 41 mH inductor instead. I “powered” the circuit with 1 kHz 7Vpp square wave from signal generator. Then I got this nice graphics on digital oscilloscope screen in XY →

A solid-state relay (SSR) is an electronic switching device that switches on or off when a small external voltage is applied across its control terminals. Packaged solid-state relays use power semiconductor devices such as thyristors and transistors. Here are some SSR videos worth to watch: What is a Solid State Relay? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbQiRM9p0j0 Solid State Relay →
