How does an oscilloscope work?

common problems 3740

An oscilloscope uses a probe to connect to a test point in a circuit and amplify or attenuate the voltage at that point. The subsequent signal path depends on the oscilloscope, but in general, analog circuits condition the signal and analog-to-digital converters digitize it for further evaluation, processing, and analysis.

  • What is an AC power supply?

    591

    An AC power supply is responsible for providing AC power to the load. The power input can be either AC or DC. You need an AC power supply because the power from the wall outlet does not meet the specifications of the load. In order for the load to operate properly, you need to transform the AC power supply to tune the AC power from the supply to the voltage, current, and frequency required by the device. This can be done by boosting...

  • What is a function/waveform generator?

    454

    A function generator is an electronic test device that generates a variety of standard waveforms for a device under test (DUT), such as sine, square, ramp, or sawtooth waveforms. In circuit design and circuit boards, testing often requires the use of controlled signals to simulate routine operations. Testing physical systems and sensors often requires stable and reliable signals that are as low as a few microvolts and may be as high as...

  • What is a current probe?

    528

    Many people use digital multimeters to easily measure current, voltage, resistance, etc. However, there is a drawback to using a digital multimeter to measure current, namely: the circuit must be disconnected and the digital multimeter must be connected in series with the circuit under test in order to make the measurement. In this case, a current probe can be used instead of a digital multimeter to make measurements. Since the electrical connection of the circuit is no longer required, the current probe is more time-consuming...
