The cathode ray oscilloscope is basically a measuring instrument. Time period of any sinusoidal signal can be measured along X-axis.Other applications of CRO is the calculation of peak to peak voltage,current of any signal and the phase difference between the two signals can also me determined.

The uses of the oscilloscope are as follows:

  1. To display the wave forms of ac and dc signals.
  2. It helps to specify the amplitude of the signal on the y-axis and the period on the x-axis.

Will an oscilloscope probe be used in future medical procedures?

In a certain sense oscilloscope probes are already being used in medicine today. An oscilloscope is simply a machine that visually represents changes in voltage. Thats what EKG and EEG machines do - they measure the electrical activity in your heart and brain respectively and use probes to do it.
