Yeah...its possible to test the transistor using Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO).

CRO provides a function called "Component Testing". Just connect the transistor terminals between two pins provided by this function and you can observe the patterns on the CRO screen.

Normally, in case of transistor, The operation is divided in few parts.

01. Observe the pattern for CB configuration.

---- For this, connect the terminalsfrom CRO between this Collector and Base terminals and you can observe the pattern shown by CRO.

Same procedure should continue for CE & BE configuration so as to test the transistor.

What is the digital oscilloscope used for?

A cathode ray oscilloscope (CRO) is used to see the waveform of a repetitive electronic signal. The signal is amplified or attenuated as required and used to deflect an electron beam in the vertical direction. This electron beam is deflected in the horizontal direction at a suitable speed. The electron beam impinging on a phosphorescent screen enables the viewer to see the wave shape of the signal. The operation is similar to that of a TV.


How do I identify if a field effect transistor is defective in a circuit?

Is you'll need to short circuit between the drain and the source to identify FET test


How do you identify for a shorted and an a opened transistor?

This can be quickly done with a multimeter in ohms or diode scale. Test EB & CB junctions as you would ordinary diodes and test CE for leakage both ways (there should be none).


How do you test a voltage rectifier?

If you actually mean rectifier (rather than regulator), then you can determine if it is performing its base function of converting alternating current to direct current by using a voltmeter. If the rectifier is functioning, you should read a percentage (which depends upon whether it is a half-wave or full-wave rectifier) of the AC peak input value on the DC range of a voltmeter. Using an oscilloscope, you can clearly view the half-wave or full-wave unidirectional (positive or negative only) pulses produced at the output of the rectifier. If the rectifier is blown and is conducting in both directions you will see nothing on a DC voltmeter range (the average value of an AC waveform is zero), and on an oscilloscope you will see the full peak-to-peak AC input waveform at its output.


How do you test polarity with a multimeter?

A: To begin with the leads polarity of the meter must be ascertain. Assuming the red is positive voltage then that lead will have a positive potential to check a diode connect the red lead to the anode and the black to the cathode and it should read some Resistance

How do you test a thyristor module using multimeter?

You can check if it is shorted, but without coordinating the gate and anode voltages with the cathode, you cannot test a thyrister (SCR) with a multimeter. Check it out of circuit for shorts, then check the circuit, then test it in operation. Anything more advanced will require an oscilloscope.

How do you test Resistance Capacitance diodes and transistors on cathode ray oscilloscope?

It is always better to remove a component from the circuit for proper testing but most of the time a resistor can be tested with a DMM set to the appropriate ohm scale, the same with a diode where the DMM is set to diode setting. A transistor is more complicated, you first have to find the base connector and with your DMM set to diode, NPN Transistor, with negative probe to the base and positive to emitter or collector the smallest reading will be the collector and the slightly higher reading will be the emitter, no reading mean that it can be a PNP transistor then you will need to swap your probes, still no reading or a very low reading will mean the transistor is damaged In actuality tektronics do make a curve tracer oscilloscope to test active components . But the speed is very limited. So while it may tell you that the part is good or bad it will not tell you how good or how bad it will function in the actual circuit

Why dont we get the transister action by connecting two diodes back to back?

Because two diodes is not a transistor. There is an interaction between the junctions in the transistor, because of their proximity, that you don't get in the two diodes. The only use of modeling a transistor as two diodes back to back is to test a transistor with a multimeter as a quick go-nogo test for basic operability.
