Oscilloscopes are an important tool in any electrical engineer's lab. A specific and exact guideline is maintained to connect an oscilloscope to a circuit. In particular, proper grounding is very vital for your safety as well as the safety of the integrated circuits (ICs) you're testing. Setting oscilloscope controls, calibrating the oscilloscope, connecting oscilloscope … [Read more...] about How to Connect an Oscilloscope to a Circuit

What Does an Oscilloscope Measure
An oscilloscope can measure a variety of signals, including voltage and current, as well as the frequency of a signal. The frequency determines the waveform's shape. The waveform of an AC signal depends on its amplitude and frequency, but a DC signal simply on its amplitude. Anyone working in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics, or telecommunications needs an … [Read more...] about What Does an Oscilloscope Measure
BNC Cable Oscilloscope
BNC cables are used to connect an oscilloscope to a circuit under test. Because BNC cables are best for transmitting audio/video signals and radio frequency signals. They offer the best quality of signal integrity and the highest available bandwidth. BNC cables transmit analog and digital signals. 50-ohm and 75-ohm are two types of BNC cables manufactured most frequently. … [Read more...] about BNC Cable Oscilloscope
How to Find VPP on Oscilloscope
Adjust the vertical sensitivity of the oscilloscope while the waveform is displayed on the screen to get the figure as inclusive as possible without losing any from the top or bottom. Count the number of horizontal graticules on the screen from the bottom of the figure to the top of the figure. Multiply that amount by the sensitivity level that has been set. What Does VPP … [Read more...] about How to Find VPP on Oscilloscope
What Is Oscilloscope Bandwidth
As the frequency of the test signal is increased, the amplitude of the seen signal lowers by -3 dB or 70.7 percent of its real value, which is known as oscilloscope bandwidth. The fundamental ability of an oscilloscope to measure a signal is determined by its bandwidth. The oscilloscope's capacity to accurately show the signal reduces as the signal frequency increases. The … [Read more...] about What Is Oscilloscope Bandwidth
