This is the internal circuit that causes the horizontal movement of the electron beam across the screen of the oscilloscope. It can be adjusted to vary the time taken for the beam to move across the screen.

What is meant by a computer oscilloscope?

A computer oscilloscope is used in computer diagnostics, where the oscilloscope measures voltages at different points of microchips at different points of time in order to find the broken part.


What units is the horizontal sweep of an oscilloscope rated in?

The horizontal sweep of an oscilloscope is in time per division or seconds per division.


What the function of time base in an oscilloscope?

The time base of an oscilloscope is used to increase or decrease the time per division value on the Y-axis ranging from few tens of seconds to micro seconds to nanoseconds used for microwave signals.If you increase the time base of an oscilloscope lesser and lesser part of the signal will be present in one division of the Y-axis. Setting the time base to a proper value will enable you to see high frequency signals clearly otherwise each cycle of the signal would be indistinguishable from the other huehue


Is the oscilloscope trace movement across the CRT related to time?

Yes


How do you read the oscilloscope?

Time (horizontal scale) versus Amplitude (vertical scale).


How does an oscilloscope measure time?

An oscilloscope does not measure time. It is used to plot signals which are displayed as a change of voltage against (or with reference to) a change in time. To do this, the scope has to have something inside it to generate a "time tick" or otherwise provide a time reference. We usually find that a crystal oscillator is doing that job.


What precautionary steps have to be taken when using an oscilloscope?
