The Oscilloscope and Its Use
In this chapter, one of the most important electronic measuring instruments for ac voltages and currents is discussed — the oscilloscope. It is particularly important because it allows one to “take” an electronic picture of ac waveforms. The construction of an oscilloscope is explained. The function and adjustment of an oscilloscope’s controls are described, and you are told how to use an oscilloscope to perform some electrical measurements.
At the end of this chapter you should be able to:
1. Describe the major sections of an oscilloscope.
2. Explain how the vertical and horizontal deflection systems of ...
