    The document summarizes an experiment measuring voltages in an AC circuit using a digital oscilloscope and multi-meter. It describes constructing a circuit with 3 resistors and measuring voltages at different points using each device. The oscilloscope was more accurate when calibrated to a 1V division versus 5V. Voltages remained consistent on the oscilloscope but decreased on the multi-meter at higher frequencies from the wave generator. The oscilloscope could properly display the oscillating voltages unlike the multi-meter.

    Oscilloscope Voltage Measurements

    Ralph Arce, John Arvie Sarmiento, Simon Sugay

    EE 12 D-1L

    Department of Electrical Engineering – CEAT, UP Los Baños

    I. Introduction

    II. Results and Discussion

    For the first part of the experiment is to construct the circuit in series with 3 resistors

    (10kΩ, 3.3kΩ, 5kΩ) supplied by 6V power supply. The voltage of the nodes is measured using

    the multi-meter in AC mode. Connecting the digital oscilloscope, power supply and the circuit,

    the sine wave appeared on the screen of oscilloscope and measuring the same nodes given in the

    experiment. When the calibration was shifted to 1V division, the sine wave appeared with a

    longer height than the 5V division.

    Oscilloscope Measured Average Voltage


    Calculated Voltage VOM Measured
    Test Points (V)
    (V) Voltage (V)
    5 V/div 1 V/div

    A to B 3.2258 3.173 3.20 3.20

    B to C 1.0645 1.048 1.00 1.08

    C to D 1.8065 1.781 1.60 1.76

    Table 1a. Measured Values While Using the DC Source

    Based on the voltages measured by the multi-meter and the digital oscilloscope, the multi-

    meter has the most accurate measurement based on the calculated values using ohm’s law since

    the multi-meter can measure resistance and current with almost identical values and also noting

    that it has more decimal places in the readings displayed. The voltage measured by calibrating
    the digital oscilloscope to 1V division is the more accurate than the calibration to 5V division

    since the voltage used in the experiment is 6V and with a division of lower volts, it has larger

    range of values including the small decimal numbers to identify than the larger voltage division.

    The peak to peak value of the voltage is the same as the highest voltage in any DC

    voltage since the graph of a DC voltage was pulsating that it only reaches to zero when it is on

    the minimum.

    The last part of the experiment was connecting the circuit and the wave generator. The voltage

    was first measured using the multi-meter with different set of frequency (60Hz, 600Hz, and

    6000Hz). Lastly, the root mean square voltage (VRMS) was measured using the digital

    oscilloscope.

    Voltage Measured (RMS) Oscilloscope (V) Voltage Measured (RMS) Multi-meter (V)
    Test Points
    60Hz 600Hz 6000Hz 60Hz 600Hz 6000Hz

    A to D 5.00 5.00 5.00 5.16 5.17 5.06

    B to D 2.20 2.20 2.20 2.449 2.431 1.763

    C to D 1.40 1.40 1.40 1.544 1.529 1.107

    Table 1b. Measured Values While Using the Wave Generator

    Based on the measured voltages with different frequencies using the multi-meter and

    digital oscilloscope, the readings of the voltage in the oscilloscope were identical even with

    different frequencies while the readings of the voltage in the multi-meter were decreasing when

    the frequency is increasing. The cause of the decrease in voltage in the multi-meter may be

    because of the wave generator produces an AC or oscillating voltage that the multi-meter cannot

    measure properly. While supplying different frequencies in the circuit, the graph of the digital

    oscilloscope becomes taller while it increases the frequency.

    The average value of the voltage in the oscilloscope must be closely to zero because in

    AC circuit the voltage can have a negative value unlike since it follows the sine wave function

    that the highest value of the voltage has the same magnitude as the value at the lowest voltage.
