INTRODUCTION TO OSCILLOSCOPE

Oscilloscope is an electronic device which display the electrical signal such as wave or
pulse. It can be used to measure voltage, frequency, time and so on. The model TDS 1002 is a
small light weight and easy to use. It is a multipurpose Dual Oscilloscope with 6 inch and 2KV CRT.
It is a unique built-in component tester that allows testing of passive and active components such
as FETs, bipolars, zeners, capacitors or inductors by observing test waveforms on the CRT.

PROBE ADJUSTMENT

When applying the external signal, a probe is used to measure waveform as shown in Figure 1.8.
The applied waveform is displayed on the CRT of oscilloscope. The product has two points : there
are x 1 (direct connection) and x 10 (attenuation).

A x10 probe is used for high frequency measurement because of the reduction of input
capacity which distorts signal and reduces the load. Using any incorrectly calibrated probe may
cause error in the measurement.

11
PROCEDURES A:

Calibration.

1. Set the Probe obtion attenuation in the channel menu x 10. Set the switch to x10 on the
P2200 probe and connect the probe to channel oscilloscope.

2. Attach the probe tip top to the PROBE COMP - 5V connector and the reference lead to
the PROBE COMP Ground connector. Display the channel and the push the AUTOSET
button.

3. A square waveform (5 Vpp and 1 kHz) should be displayed.

4. Push the CH1 button and set the item below:

- Coupling - AC
- Probe - x10

5. Check the shape of the displayed waveform. If necessary, adjust the probe and repeat as
necessary.

6. Sketch the waveform in Table 1.5.

7. Calculate the voltage, period and frequency of the waveform.

1. Connect the output of function generator to the CH 1 oscilloscope input using BNC to BNC
cable as shown in Figure 1.11.

2. Switch on the function generator and the oscilloscope.

3. Select the FUNCTION switch to choose sine wave as an output waveform.

4. Press FREQUENCY RANGE switch to select 10 kHz frequency range output.

5. Set output frequency of 1 kHz using the FREQUENCY COARSE and FINE controls.

6. Adjust the TIME/DIV on the oscilloscope and observe the sine wave output from the
oscilloscope.

Measuring the Amplitude (Voltage peak to peak).

7. Set the amplitude 3 Vpp using the AMPLITUDE on the function generator and VOLT/DIV on
the oscilloscope.

8. Observe the sine wave output from the oscilloscope.

9. Sketch the output waveform 1 kHz, 3 Vpp in Table 1.6.

10. Repeat procedure 5 to 10 for different voltages and frequencies as shown in Table 1.6.
