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

∙ 8y agoThe calibration will produce a pulse at an exact time scale. This can be compared with the graticule on the screen and any internal adjustments made, to correct it.
Normally the time base is in precise clicks of the switch. Frequency can be calculated by counting off the divisions on the scale. A manual sweep is sometimes provided, in order to make a waveform fit on the screen, but you loose precise calibration doing this.

What is Time.DIV on the oscilloscope?
Time . Division.Varies how the divisions on the time scale are applied.Changes the speed of the sweep.Each division is equivalent to 1millisecond, 5 millisecond, 10 millisecond etc.
What is the principle of function generator?
with the help of function generator we found wave in oscilloscope
What is the Practical application of a derived class object stored in base class pointer?
If you have base class derived object pointing by base class pointer, then you have the power of run time polymorphism in your hand, which gives you the ability to call the derived class implementation of the virtual member function. If we declare the member function as virtual in base class which needs to overridden in derived class, then you can decide at run time which implementation will be called at run time.
Can you measure current with an oscilloscope?
Oscilloscopes only measure voltage over time. Current cannot be measured with an Oscilloscope directly, but can be measured indirectly. Measure the voltage across a known load and calculate the current.
What is different between analog Oscilloscope and digital Oscilloscope?
As with analog ( Dial) watches versus Digital clocks- there are two different types of presentation. The Analog Oscilloscope is more properly called a Cathode Ray oscilloscope as it uses a specialized CRT ( Cathode Ray tube) the Digital creates and displays its graphics in a digital fashion. They do not need a warm-up time as they do not use vacuum tubes. Storage oscilloscopes, which have a time-lapse feature most intriguing and a memory bank, can be and have been made in both the analog and the digital configurations. the German Hameg company marketed both types.
What is the time base of an oscilloscope?
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 Time.DIV on the oscilloscope?
Time . Division.Varies how the divisions on the time scale are applied.Changes the speed of the sweep.Each division is equivalent to 1millisecond, 5 millisecond, 10 millisecond etc.
How a Cathode Ray Oscilloscope is used to measure Period?
period are measued in oscilloscope by using or calculating time division
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.
How do you set the input voltage of cathode ray oscilloscope?
first we connect the oscilloscope with the function generator or whatever the source of the input voltage , there will be a wave ,we try to adjust its amplitude using oscilloscope ..and this amplitude will be the peak to peak voltage..putting into consideration how volt/ div while measuring the amplitude
Is the oscilloscope trace movement across the CRT related to time?
Yes
What is Difference between dual trace oscillosope and dual trace generator?
Oscilloscope is used to display electrical signals on a display. A dual trace oscilloscope can display two signals simultaneously. For a trace generator I think you mean a signal or a function generator which generates electrical waveforms of varying shapes, frequency and amplitude. A dual trace or a function generator in that sense is an equipment capable of generating two independent waveforms at the same time. - Neeraj
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?
Beware using ground clips for high speed measurements.Beware of oscilloscope bandwidth limitations.Ensure the correct triggering.Use the right oscilloscope probe.Remember to calibrate the oscilloscope probe.Beware using ground clips for high speed measurements.Beware of oscilloscope bandwidth limitations.Ensure the correct triggering.Use the right oscilloscope probe.Remember to calibrate the oscilloscope probe.
Can digital oscilloscope do spectrum analysis?
A: absolutely but never in real time. That is the nature of the beast
