Oscilloscope Lab
- Learning how to use a digital oscilloscope
Setting Up: I got an oscilloscope called Tektronix TDS 1002 and a function generator called wavetek. I got a BNC cable to connect the generators output to channel one of the ocilloscope. The output that I used for the wavetek generator is called 2vp-p. I then adjusted the frequency to 200Hz in the generator.
Measuring the Sine Wave:
1) Counting Grid Lines
peak-peak voltage=6.01V, frequency=203.7Hz
2) Using Cursors
peak-peak voltage=6.00V, frequency=204.1Hz
3) Using Measure
peak-peak voltage=6.08V, frequency=203.7Hz
Triggering
AC Coupling
Fall time=122.0ms with cursors, and 117.8 with measure
