Reference no: EM13965331

OBJECTIVES

After performing this experiment, you will be able to:

1. Explain the four functional blocks on an oscilloscope and describe the major controls within each block.

2. Use an oscilloscope to measure ac and dc voltages.

EVALUATION AND REVIEW QUESTIONS

1. (a) Compute the percent difference between the DMM measurement and the oscilloscope measurement for each dc voltage measurement summarized in Table 1.

Table 1

Power Supply Setting	VOLTS/DIV Setting	Number of Divisions of Deflection	Oscilloscope (measured voltage)	DMM (measured voltage)
1.0 V	0.2 V/DIV	5.0 DIV	1.0 V	1.0 V
2.5 V	2.5V/DIV	5.o DIV	2.5 V	2.5 V
4.5 V	1.0 V	4.5 DIV	4.5 V	4.5 V
8.3 V	2.0 V	4.1 DIV	8.2 V	8.3 V

(b) Which do you think is most accurate? Why?

2. Describe the four major groups of controls on the oscilloscope and the purpose of each group.

3. If you are having difficulty obtaining a stable display, which group of controls should you adjust?

4. (a) If an ac waveform has 3.4 divisions from peak to peak and the VOLTS/DIV control is set to 5.0 V/div, what is the peak-to-peak voltage?

(b) What is the rims voltage?

5. If you wanted t_{o v}i_ew an ac waveform that was 20.0 V_rms, what setting of the VOLT/DIV control would be best?

6. Most analog oscilloscopes have a single beam, which is shared with two signals. If you _{are using}an analog oscilloscope, when should you select ALTernate and when should you choose CHOP?

This project is all about the use and function of an oscilloscope. Oscilloscope as an electronic device is used to measure the amplitude of all electrical signals (voltage, current, power, frequency etc) with respect to time. It has been made known that there are different kinds of oscilloscope ranging from analog to digital and basic knowledge of all functional blocks are expedient by the user. In conclusion, we also knew the difference between Digital Multi-meter (DMM) and Oscilloscope in terms of their applications.
