Assignment 1 Apparatus : Digital oscilloscope, function generator Procedure : 1. A function generator was connected to CH1 input of digital oscilloscope.

2. The arbitrary signal (sine/ square/ triangle) and the function generator was set up to 1kHz frequency. 3. The amplitude of the function generator was change. 4. The several function of digital oscilloscope was played. For instance: Volts/div, Time/div knobs, vertical and horizontal position knobs, trigger level, function keys and etc. 5. The Vpp and frequency of the sine wave signal was measured ; 1) using automatic function keys, 2) manually by calculating the Volts/div or Time/div from the display. The frequency measurement was compared from the oscilloscope with the frequency setting at the front panel of the function generator. 6. The real image of the output signal was captured.

Assignment 2 Apparatus : Procedures : 1. A DC power supply output was set up at 3V. 2. The DC power supply outputwas connected to the CH1 input of digital oscilloscope. The oscilloscope coupling at DC was set up. 3. The several function of digital oscilloscope was played. For instance: Volts/div, Time/div knobs, vertical and horizontal position knobs, trigger level, function keys and etc. 4. The DC power supply output was measured; 1) using automatic function keys, 2) manually by calculating the Volts/div from the display, 3) using digital multimeter. The voltage measurement from 1) with the measurements from 2) and 3) was compared. Digital oscilloscope, DC power supply, Digital multimeter

RESULT

DC Power supply output 1) Using automatic function keys : -19.5V 2) Manually by calculating : Cannot calculate because using wrong value depends on procedures. 3) Using digital multimeter : 19.62V

DISCUSSION An oscilloscope is easily the most useful instrument available for testing circuits because it allows seeing the signals at different points in the circuit. The best way of investigating an electronic system is to monitor signals at the input and output of each system block, checking that each block is operating as expected and is correctly linked to the next. With a little practice, you will be able to find and correct faults quickly and accurately. An oscilloscope is an impressive piece of kit:

The diagram shows a Hameg HM 203-6 oscilloscope, a popular instrument in UK schools. Your oscilloscope may look different but will have similar controls. Faced with an instrument like this, students typically respond either by twiddling every knob and pressing every button in sight, or by adopting a glazed expression. Neither approach is especially helpful. Following the systematic description below will give you a clear idea of what an oscilloscope is and what it can do. The function of an oscilloscope is extremely simple: it draws a V/t graph, a graph of voltage against time, voltage on the vertical or Y-axis, and time on the horizontal or X-axis. As you can see, the screen of this oscilloscope has 8 squares or divisions on the vertical axis, and 10 squares or divisions on the horizontal axis. Usually, these squares are 1 cm in each direction:

Many of the controls of the oscilloscope allow you to change the vertical or horizontal scales of the V/t graph, so that you can display a clear picture of the signal you want to investigate. 'Dual trace' oscilloscopes display two V/t graphs at the same time, so that simultaneous signals from different parts of an electronic system can be compared.
