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

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 TO MEASURE RIPPLE AC VOLTAGE?

To measure ripple AC voltage, use an oscilloscope or a true RMS multimeter. Connect the oscilloscope probes across the output where the ripple voltage is present, ensuring proper grounding. Set the oscilloscope to an appropriate time base to visualize the waveform, and measure the peak-to-peak voltage to determine the ripple magnitude. For a multimeter, select the AC voltage setting and connect the leads across the same output to get a reading of the ripple voltage.

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 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.

How can you maesure using oscilloscopes?

To measure using an oscilloscope, connect the oscilloscope probe to the signal source. Adjust the time and voltage scales on the oscilloscope to properly display the waveform. Use the cursors and measurements feature on the oscilloscope to measure parameters like frequency, amplitude, rise time, and pulse width.


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


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 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


What is the device that displays the continuous plot of a wave?
