What is an oscilloscope?

common problems 4800

An oscilloscope is a test instrument used to capture and display a graph of the waveform of an electrical signal over time. For example, it can graph voltage (y-axis) versus time (x-axis) on its display.

Oscilloscopes are powerful tools for designing and testing electronic equipment. They play a very important role in determining whether system equipment components are working properly and which components are failing. They can also help you determine if newly designed components are working as expected. This can be done by analyzing signal parameters such as amplitude, period, frequency, rise time, and pulse width. Modern digital oscilloscopes can also perform mathematical operations on waveforms, such as Fourier transforms, for faster analysis.

    A multimeter is an instrument that can measure a wide range of parameters, such as alternating (AC) or direct current (DC) voltage, AC or DC current, resistance, temperature, capacitance, and so on. Modern digital multimeters use digital and logic technology to become smaller and smaller with more and more built-in functions. By introducing digital technology, digital multimeters can provide graphical displays, data logging and signal digitization as well as...

  • What is the difference between a DC power supply and an AC power supply?

    477

    Alternating current is suitable for transmission and distribution of electricity over long distances through the grid system. Direct current is a one-way flow of charge and is more reliable than alternating current, but is not suitable for long-distance transmission. Most electronic devices use DC because their voltage is constant, such as devices powered by batteries. Some devices also use rectifiers to convert AC to DC. Power supplies usually have an internal...
