Oscilloscope 101

An OS (Oscilloscope) is a device used to display time varying signals such as AC signals as well as DC with some impedance such as a Capacitor, which ultimately helps us make measurements.

We first begin this lab by connecting our Function generator to the OS with a "Sinusoid" signal output at a frequency of 5kHz and a Peak Voltage of 5V.

Sinusoid Signal Output

Period: 0.208ms

Peak-to-Peak Amplitude: 5V

Zero-to-Peak: 2.25V

RMS Value: 1.77 Volts

DC Offset Signal

Mystery Signal!!!!

DC Voltage: 0.5-7.5v

Frequency: 7Hz

Peak-to-Peak Amplitude: 1V-1.25V
