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…
Both analog and digital oscilloscopes are used for the same work. But there are some extra features in a digital oscilloscope. The oscilloscope is an electronic measurement instrument. It is also known as an oscillograph, scope, CRO (cathode ray oscilloscope),…
The build quality and professional layout of Siglent oscilloscopes are much better than that of Rigol oscilloscopes. The Rigol has a high-resolution screen compared to Siglent, but its screen is crowded. Both companies have controversies regarding their manufactured oscilloscopes’ advantages…
To measure inductance with an oscilloscope, you can use three frequent methods. The first one is the resonant frequency method, the second one involves using a resistor of known value and the third one is by using voltage-current slope. Inductances…
To zoom in or out a signal in an oscilloscope, you need to change the scales of the axes. Use the knob for the horizontal axis and set the µs/div to a lower value. This will allow you to zoom…
DC offset is the mean amplitude displacement from zero. It shifts the reference level of your oscilloscope from the original ground or center zero point. The reference level shifts due to the addition of a DC voltage to your output…
The input impedance of an oscilloscope is often referred to as a complex quantity. It is represented by a resistor connected parallel with a capacitor between the scope input terminal and the ground terminal. So, we can say that the…
One of the most difficult techniques to learn is oscilloscope calibration. Getting things perfect might take a lot of time and work. However, if you follow some instructions, you will be able to calibrate your scope more quickly and successfully….
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…
