Experiment Number Three

The document describes an experiment to familiarize students with operating an oscilloscope. It includes objectives, materials used, procedures, data tables to record measurements of frequency and voltage from an audio generator and transformer. Key controls of the oscilloscope are explained like volts/division and sweep-time/division which affect measurement accuracy. Formulas to calculate voltage peak, average, RMS are provided. The conclusions state that an oscilloscope uses waveforms to depict AC voltage and frequency over time compared to a multimeter.

Experiment Number Three
OSCILLOSCOPE FAMILIARIZATION
OBJECTIVES :

1. To become familiar with the operating controls of an oscilloscope.


2. To measure voltages and frequencies using an oscilloscope.

MATERIALS :

1 - Dual-Trace Oscilloscope
1 - Audio Generator
1 - Step-Down Transformer (Multi-Tapped)

PROCEDURES :

1. Put all controls to mid-position.


2. Turn-on the oscilloscope.
3. Vary its control knobs and switches one by one and observe the effects on
the screen.

NOTE : Before varying the Sweep-Time/Division and Volts/Division


controls, connect their respective probes to the CAL 1V p-p
terminal.

4. Draw the front panel of the oscilloscope. Label all the control knobs and
switches.
5. List all operating controls of the oscilloscope and its function.
6. Connect the output of the audio generator to the oscilloscope, setting its
frequency to the values indicated in Table 1.
7. Measure its output frequency using the oscilloscope and record your result
in Table 1.
8. Connect the oscilloscope to the output of the step-down transformer as
indicated in Table 2.
9. Measure its output voltage on the oscilloscope and compute the required
values.

QUESTIONS :

1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using an oscilloscope


compared to using a VOM when measuring voltages?
 The difference between an oscilloscope and a digital multimeter
(DMM) is simply stated as "pictures vs. numbers." A DMM is a tool
for making precise measurements of discrete signals, enabling
readings of up to eight digits of resolution for the voltage, current or
frequency of a signal. On the other hand, a DMM cannot visually
depict waveforms to reveal signal strength, wave shape, or the
instantaneous value of the signal. Nor is a multimeter equipped to
reveal a transient or a harmonic signal that could compromise the
operation of a system.
 Reach for an oscilloscope if you want to make both quantitative and
qualitative measurements Use a DMM to make high-precision
checks of voltage, current, resistance and other electrical
parameters.
 It is cheaper compare to digital counterpart.

2. How does the Volts/Division and the Sweep-Time/Division controls affect


the accuracy of the measurement of voltages and frequencies?
 The volts-per-division setting (usually written as volts/div) is a
scaling factor that varies the size of the waveform on the screen.
You must divide the volts/div scale by the attenuation factor of the
probe if the oscilloscope does not do it for you. Often the volts/div
scale has either a variable gain or a fine gain control for scaling a
displayed signal to a certain number of divisions. The sweeping
time option allows us to monitor the temporal changes in our signal.
 If accurate measurements are to be made, the effect of the probe
being used must be properly adjusted to match the oscilloscope's
input circuit using the internal calibration signal or some other
square wave source.
 Thus, if the signal is a sinusoidal AC signal (Alternating Current),
the screen will show a sine wave. The number of the sine waves on
the screen and the sweeping time give the frequency (f) of the AC
sine

OBSERVATIONS :

Formulas used: Vpeak = No. of Division x Volts


Vpeak to Vpeak = Vpeak x 2
Vaverage = Vpeak x 0.637
VRMS = Vpeak x 0.7071

CONCLUSION:
We conclude that Oscilloscope is used for measuring the voltage peak, peak to
peak and frequency of an alternating current. It uses waveform to depict the movement
of a current in a Voltage vs. Time graph. The AF Generator functions as a source. It
dissipates amplitude or voltage and frequency. It is often used to calibrate electronic
equipment or electrical circuits.
