many digital electronics require some notion of time passing to operate. For example a time of day clock requires a signal of one second to update the time signal which is basically just a special counter. An oscilloscope needs some time reference to advance the trace across the X-axis of the screen. A frequency counter literally measures events during a given time interval.

In these instruments, there will be a signal called a clock which is basically an oscillator-driven signal which is processed to a digital signal called a "clock" and used to measure or advance events every clock cycle.

Usually the time base clock is the major factor determining the overall accuracy of the instrument so better instruments have clocks derived from crystal oscillators and variations of crystal oscillators with even better characteristics.

What is the basic principle of energy?

The basic principle of energy is that it cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. This principle is known as the law of conservation of energy. It means that the total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant over time.

What is a voltage time base generator?

I believe you are referring to a piece of test equipment also known as a "function generator." It generates a voltage equal to some function of time. The most basic models will produce sine, square, and sawtooth waves at different frequencies, but the more expensive models will do all kinds of waves. these voltage time base generators are those which are used to generate voltage linearly with time. by using the transistor as a switch and using a capacitor we can get the ramp out put. here the working would be the capacitor charging when the transistor is off and discharging when the transistor is on. the discharging time is very less compared to the charging time. when the capacitor charges voltage across it increases exponentially and we get a wave which increases linearly with time.
