18 - Osciloscopes

INTRO: Today we discussed several topics, however we focused mainly on the oscilloscope. Although we had a lab planned, that Professor Mason had just made the night prior, we were short on time so we had to skip it. With that being said, this lab entry will be fairly short.


 Below is the face of an oscilloscope. An oscilloscope is a device used to measure the frequency of a signal. The screen is used to present the waveform signals in a graph format, to make the information more understandable.




 Below is a collection of the waves that can be displayed on the oscilloscope screen. Sin, triangles, and square waves are just some of the waves that can be displayed on the screen.


LAB: Professor Mason said to skip
Professor Mason told the class we were better off focusing on the material presented in class then attempt the lab which he briefly showed us.
