Oscilloscope | 251

Successful data acquisition in a lab environment depends on three primary control systems:

In a typical lab exercise, beginners often find their waveform "scrolling" across the screen. The Trigger fixes this. oscilloscope 251

This controls the Voltage (Y-axis). You have two identical control banks for Channel 1 (CH 1) and Channel 2 (CH 2). Successful data acquisition in a lab environment depends

  • VARIABLE: A small knob usually set to the calibrated (detent) position. If turned, it lets you scale between settings (uncalibrated).
  • When analyzing RC or LRC circuits (common in 251 courses), the oscilloscope can display two signals simultaneously (Channel 1 and Channel 2). By comparing the time delay between the peaks of two waves, the phase shift (in degrees) can be calculated. VARIABLE: A small knob usually set to the
