An oscilloscope is an electronic test instrument that is used to observe an electronic signal, typically voltage, as a function of time. In other words, it is a voltage versus time plotter. Oscilloscopes come in two basic types, analogue or digital, and support various features and functions useful for measuring and testing electronic circuits. An oscilloscope is a key piece of test equipment for any electronics designer. To read a signal in an oscilloscope it includes the following steps: voltage
The word oscilloscope is a word that combines from Latin and Greek language. The first part “oscillare” derives from the Latin words meaning to swing backwards and forwards. The second part comes from Classical Greek “skopein” means to observe, aim at, examine, from which developed the Latin ending “scopium”, which has been used to form names for instruments that enable the eye or ear to make observation. An oscilloscope is a laboratory instrument that commonly used to display and analyze the waveform
generator • 2 Amplifier circuits • A photo-detector • An Oscilloscope (with hook-up cables) • A speaker • Soldering Iron for putting together circuits • Transformer Task 1 Construct one of the Amplifier circuits following directions and using the soldering iron. Connect battery and speaker to the circuit. Connect the amplifier circuit to the oscilloscope and signal generator. Connect the signal generator directly to the oscilloscope. Calculate the voltage amplitude from the amplifier from the
My decision to apply for an M.S. program at University of Texas Dallas is driven by my aspirations to pursue a research career in the field of Electrical Engineering. This field interests me because of its rigorous mathematical nature and it’s wide-ranging. Nietzsche once opined, "There are no facts only interpretations". This fits in aptly to modern day researchers. It’s only when we look beyond the obvious facts, reason out the impossible, and work towards a deeper understanding, that we go a step
Some Definitions about TDR In copper cabling, TDR can measure cable length and locate specific areas of impedance mismatch by transmitting a fast rise-time pulse down the cable under test and then monitoring the cable for constant voltage in order to detect any reflections of the transmitted pulse. Any anomalies in the cable that change the capacitance, inductance, or resistance will result in measurable differences in impedance. Think of impedance mismatches as disruptions in the flow or back-pressure
Lab #2 Oscilloscope and Diodes Ziyu Liao 8/31/15 Honor Code Pledge: In this lab, we were introduced to the Oscilloscope and Diodes. In first part of this lab we continued our exploration of the current, resistance, voltage, and the breadboard. In the first part, I tested the resistance of multiple people, build a parallel circuit, measured the effects of a parallel circuit on current, and explored the characteristics of a diode. In the second part of the lab, I was introduced the Oscilloscope and

Also, there could have been human error like miscalculation of the numbers on the oscilloscope. Conclusion The experiment has opened new eyes for these scientists. After finding the different frequency ranges we found that the amplitude didn’t change or go higher even when the frequency did. However, the amplitude followed a bell curve
character and self-confessed pinball player, he wants to develop an open house exhibit at BNL that will entertain people as they learn. His idea is to use a small analog computer in the lab to graph and display the trajectory of a moving ball on an oscilloscope, with which users can interact. Missile trajectory plotting is one of the specialties of computers at this time, the other being cryptography. In fact, the first electronic computer was developed to plot the trajectory of the thousands of bombs
The three different types of muscle tissue that exist in a human body are cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. Cardiac muscle is an involuntary muscle that is only present in the heart. It has responsibilities such as pumping blood throughout an entire body’s circulatory system. Smooth muscle is also an involuntary muscle. It is found in the trachea, intestines, and bladder; therefore, it has responsibilities such as slowly contracting and relaxing pressure on its surrounding organs. Lastly, skeletal muscle
The Factors that Affect the Amount of E.M.F. Being Produced Planning Aim To find the factors that affect the amount of E.M.F. being produced. The amount of E.M.F. produced during the experiment when each type of factors is change. Background knowledge Electro-motive-force is the energy being supply to a charge. Battery is a type of energy. The energy that it provides is voltage. Battery voltage is sometime called electro-motive-force because it is used to "pump" around the electrons
