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

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
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
Do we control our own thoughts and actions, are we the true authors of our inner voice, is are consciousness the origin of our visions and do we really make our own decisions? What if none of those are rational, and some neuroscientists actually think it is impossible, and it 's more likely that our choices are already made before we are aware of them, and everything you have ever said was organized in your head long before your consciousness was hearing them. In fact many researchers come to
the size of a paper clip.” On September 12, 1958, history was made in a TI laboratory after he successfully demonstrated the ability of that first microchip. Mr. Kilby showed the TI management a piece of germanium with an oscilloscope attached, turned it on, and the oscilloscope demonstrated a continuous sine wave, “proving that his integrated circuit worked.” Jack Kilby proceeded to “pioneer military, industrial, and commercial applications of microchip technology.” He was head of the teams that

Principles of Physics in Ultrasound Physics has become an important part of medicine allowing specialist doctors and radiographers to rapidly access a patient’s condition and to help in long-term diagnosis. This enables doctor’s to treat patients before their condition deteriorates. This procedure would not be possible without the use of X-rays, CAT scans, MRI scans, ultrasound and endoscopes, which allow doctors to see inside the body with little or no surgery. Without such equipment
Carl Sagan was born in Brooklyn, New York. His father, Samuel Sagan, was an immigrant garment worker from Kamianets-Podilskyi, then in the Russian Empire, in today's Ukraine. His mother, Rachel Molly Gruber, was a housewife from New York. Carl was named in honor of Rachel's biological mother, Chaiya Clara, in Sagan's words, he mother she never knew. He had a sister, Carol, and the family lived in a modest apartment near the Atlantic Ocean, in Bensonhurst, a Brooklyn neighborhood. According to Sagan
Relevant Theory/Background Information (Heading, Level 2) Experiment 2 : Diodes are basic semiconductor devices that will only allow current to flow through them in one direction only, Forward bias. Diodes are made from two differently doped layers of semiconductor material that form a PN junction. When the diode is reverse biased, the positive holes are attracted towards the negative voltage and away from the junction. Likewise the negative electrons are attracted away from the junction towards
The Nullsoft Winamp website has a Plugin and Skin collection available for downloads to further customize your copy of Winamp. There are hundreds of different plugins and skins to choose from. Plugins for Winamp range from audio visualization oscilloscopes to audio effects like distortion and surround sound. Skin categories range from different colors to cartoons and artwork. Technically advanced users can even create their own skins. Customer service and technical support services are important
An experiment to find the acoustic impedance of paraffin and water Abstract The speed of sound through paraffin and water was measured, and came close to the generally expected value. The speed in was calculated as 1458.36±16.2ms^(-1) in water and 1212±23.7ms^(-1) in paraffin. Then the density of these two liquids was measured, and combined with the speed of sound to find the acoustic impedance. . The acoustic impedance of water was 1575±29kgm^(-2) s^(-1) and the acoustic impedance of paraffin
human beings have free will/control over the actions they take or if it is just a response from the brain. He studied the electrical impulses that occur in the brain before actions take place- the readiness potential or RP. By using a cathode ray oscilloscope as a timer, he had subjects report when they became aware of conscious thought before an action. Subjects were asked to flex their wrists when they felt the need. Libet similarly observed subjects ability change their minds or not perform an action

ROSTRA PRECISION CONTROLS Nissan VSS-from-instrument cluster investigation Executive Summary: On the Nissan Frontier/Titan applications, VSS is obtainable from a single wire in the instrument cluster and the Controller Area Network (CAN). The instrument cluster VSS wire is not always pre-installed because, in this case, it is not part of a safety critical system; it only used for accessories. Inside the instrument cluster, the VSS generating circuit is configured to be a “open collector/drain”
From the ancient Greeks avoiding thoughts of famine 2,400 years ago, to arcade cabinets in the 80’s, games have been a massive influence on modern culture and has had a significant impact on the interaction between human beings in every scientific, emotional, and physical aspects. Herodotus, The Father of Games 2,400 years ago, Lydia was in a nationwide famine. Panic and crime filled the streets in fear of what the next decade might bring. According to Jane McGonigal at the 2010 TED Talk convention
These studies were motivated to improve software project management capabilities. One area often underestimated but crucial for every software development project is project management. Project management is one of the key factors influencing the project success or failure. These studies were motivated by the company's goal to improve software project management. At first we conducted a study whose purpose was to assess and better understand the current practices and problems of software project
After completing the Discovery Wheel and the Learning Style Inventory assignments which are presented by the text book Becoming a Master Student (Ellis, 2006, pp. 78-82), I discovered that I should trust my instinct now more than ever. I’ve always felt most confident when I had a chance to implement my knowledge and understanding in a lab or a real life setting. I learned that facts, figures, and examples are important parts in the way I learn. Breaking something down into smaller units and examining
