Lab 4

To get the sine wave I input from my phone to display on the screen, I had to learn and adjust a variety of settings on this oscilloscope.

Firstly, we were working with a DC signal, and I was sending the signal through channel 1, so I set the input and voltage source accordingly.

The intensity and focus pots are used to adjust the brightness and sharpness of the line displayed on the screen, respectively.

The voltage per division pot changes the unit of the vertical graphic divisions, or the amplitude of the wave displayed.

The time per division pot changed the unit of the horizontal graphic divisions, or the period of the wave displayed.

The trigger level regulated how the oscilloscope sampled and displayed the waves, and setting it dictated if the wave was flickery or solid, the location of the wave, and the source of the wave.

The position pot moved the wave displayed along the x axis, and I used it to center the wave.

When using the potentiometer, the maximum amplitude as a proportion of the input wave was 1:1. The minimum amplitude was 0.
