The document discusses oscilloscopes, including: 1) An oscilloscope is a visual voltmeter that displays voltage patterns over time using a cathode ray tube (CRT) similar to a television screen. 2) There are several types of oscilloscopes including analog, digital storage, digital phosphor, and digital sampling oscilloscopes. 3) Oscilloscopes are used to measure signals and analyze waveforms, and can display different waveforms like sine waves. They have applications in measuring light intensity from a photocell and other signals.

2. Introduction Oscilloscope (scope) is
a visual voltmeter with a
timer (clock) that shows
when a voltage changes.
An analog scope uses a
cathode ray tube (CRT)
similar to a television screen
to display voltage patterns.

11. Phase Shift Measurements
 The difference in timing between two otherwise
identical periodic signals is to use XY mode to
measure the phase shift.
 This measurement technique involves inputting
one signal into the vertical system as usual and
then another signal into the horizontal system .
 It’s called an XY measurement because both the X
and Y axis are tracing voltages, the waveform
that results from this arrangement is called a
Lissajous pattern.
 From the shape of the Lissajous pattern, you can
tell the phase difference between the two signals.
You can also tell their frequency ratio.

ratios and phase shifts

13. X-Y
Operation
δ Sweep generator to produce one cycle of
a sawtooth waveform when it receives a
pulse at its input.
δ PG to produce periodical pulses with a
period ofT, which is equal to the period of
the input signal.

14. Measuring
light on
photocell
 A sensor creates electrical signal in response to physical
stimuli; such as sound, mechanical stress, pressure, light, or
heat.
 The photocell converts light intensity into electrical signal.
Scientific data can be gathered by scope

17.  Electron gun provides a sharply
focused electron beam directed
toward the fluorescent-coated
screen.
 The thermally heated cathode emits
electrons in many directions.
 The control grid provides an axial
direction for the electron beam and
controls the number and speed of
electrons in the beam.

18.  It consists of two pairs of
parallel plates referred to as
the vertical and horizontal
deflection plates.
 One of the plates in each set is
permanently connected to the
ground (0V), whereas the
other plate of each set is
connected to input signals or
triggering signal of the CRO.
