INTRODUCTION
An oscilloscope (also known as a scope, CRO or, an O-scope) is a type of electronic test

instrument that allows observation of constantly varying signal voltages, usually as a two-
dimensional graph of one or more electrical potential differences using the vertical or 'Y' axis, plotted
as a function of time, (horizontal or 'x' axis). Although an oscilloscope displays voltage on its vertical
axis, any other quantity that can be converted to a voltage can be displayed as well. In most
instances, oscilloscopes show events that repeat with either no change, or change slowly.
The basic oscilloscope, as shown in the illustration, is typically divided into four sections: the
display, vertical controls, horizontal controls and trigger controls. The display is usually a CRT or LCD
panel which is laid out with both horizontal and vertical reference lines referred to as the graticule. In
addition to the screen, most display sections are equipped with three basic controls, a focus knob, an
intensity knob and a beam finder button.
The vertical section controls the amplitude of the displayed signal. This section carries a
Volts-per-Division (Volts/Div) selector knob, an AC/DC/Ground selector switch and the vertical
(primary) input for the instrument. Additionally, this section is typically equipped with the vertical
beam position knob.
The horizontal section controls the time base or “sweep” of the instrument. The primary
control is the Seconds-per-Division (Sec/Div) selector switch. Also included is a horizontal input for
plotting dual X-Y axis signals. The horizontal beam position knob is generally located in this section.
The trigger section controls the start event of the sweep. The trigger can be set to
automatically restart after each sweep or it can be configured to respond to an internal or external
event. The principal controls of this section will be the source and coupling selector switches. An
external trigger input (EXT Input) and level adjustment will also be included.
In addition to the basic instrument, most oscilloscopes are supplied with a probe as shown.
The probe will connect to any input on the instrument and typically has a resistor of ten times the
'scope's input impedance. This results in a .1 (-10X) attenuation factor, but helps to isolate the
capacitive load presented by the probe cable from the signal being measured. Some probes have a
switch allowing the operator to bypass the resistor when appropriate.
TYPES OF OSCILLOSCOPE
1. Cathode-ray oscilloscope (CRO)

2. Dual-beam oscilloscope
3. Analog storage oscilloscope
4. Digital oscilloscopes
5. Digital storage oscilloscope
6. Digital sampling oscilloscopes
7. Digital phosphor oscilloscopes
8. Mixed-signal oscilloscopes
9. Handheld oscilloscopes
10. PC-based oscilloscopes (PCO)
QUESTION
1. What was happen when the oscilloscope is switch ON?

The trace line on the Y-axis will appeared on the screen of the oscilloscope.
2. Give explanation why you are using the INTEN and FOCUS button?
The INTEN button is to adjust the brightness of the trace line.
The FOCUS button is to adjust the sharpness of the trace line.
3. How to adjust the trace line to the middle of the axis?

By using the vertical position conrol and the horizontal position control.
4. Explain how you know the calibration is correct?

The calibration was correct when the voltage of peak to peak 2Vpp and the frequency is
1kHz.
DISCUSSION:
At this experiment, we can calibrate the oscilloscope and we can find value of vp, vpp, vrms,
time and the value of frequency. The volt/div and time/div are given, we just calculate with
its formula .
EXAMPLE:
Volt/div: 1 v
Time/div: 0.5 ms
CALCULATION:
VPP: 2 x 1Vp=2 Vpp

VP: vpp/2=1Vp
VRMS: 1vp/J2 =0.707 Vrms
T: 0.5ms x 2= 1 ms
F: 1/T = 1/ 1ms = 1khz
CONCLUSION
1. We can able to indentified the functions on an oscilloscope panel

2. We can able to adjusting the oscilloscope for any calibration process.
3. We can able to evaluated the values such as peak to peak voltage ,time and frequency.
4. We can able to observe a waveform like sine, square wave etc..
5. We can able to use the new automatic oscilloscope
