LAB EQUIPMENT FAMILIARIZATION EXP. 1
Objectives
To be familiar with the main blocks of the oscilloscope and the function of each block.
Understand how an oscilloscope works, and how to use the various controls.
Generate and explore different waveforms that are commonly used.
Compute and measure Vp-p, Vp, Vavg, and Vrms.
Measure the period and frequency of periodic ac signals.
Procedure
Equipment & Part List
1- Oscilloscope 2- Function Generator (FG) or Signal Generator
3- Digital Multimeter (DMM) 4- Bread-board
6- Connection Wires and coaxial cable Probes
PART A – Using Oscilloscope and Function Generator
1- Turn on the Oscilloscope, choose CH1 from the Vertical Mode (to display only channel 1 signal). Set the Oscilloscope’s “Volts/Division” knob for “channel 1” to 2V/DIV, and set the sweep “Seconds/Division” knob to 0.2 ms/DIV.
2- Set the coupling switch (AC/DC/GND) to GND and move the trace to the middle of the screen. When you finish set the coupling switch to AC again.
3- Turn on the Function Generator and connect the output of it to the input of CH1 of the Oscilloscope.
4- While observing the signal on the Oscilloscope, turn the amplitude potentiometer knob and the frequency knob of the Function Generator to get 8Vpp, 1 kHz on the Oscilloscope screen.
5- Draw the signal displayed on the Oscilloscope screen.
6- Turn the “Volts/Division” knob for channel 1 in the CW and then CCW directions. How does that affect what you see on the Oscilloscope?
Note: Be sure that the VAR knob of the “Volt/Division” and “Second/Division” is locked in
