Summary

This animation allows you to see alternative ways in which waveforms can be displayed on an oscilloscope. You can modify both frequency and amplitude.

Learning objectives
  • To define the frequency and the amplitude of an alternative signal.
  • To determine the horizontal scale of the graph drawn on the oscilloscope screen (TIME/DIV).
  • To determine the vertical scale of the graph drawn on the oscilloscope screen ( VOLTS/DIV).
  • To check the comprehension of the student by hiding the screen or the values.
  • How to use the animation

    Click on a waveform to select it. You can hide both values and the screen for purposes of an exercise.
