Using Oscilloscopes Exercise
Circle the best answer for each statement. Some statements have more than one right answer.
1. With an oscilloscope you can:
a. Calculate the frequency of a signal.
b. Find malfunctioning electrical components.
c. Analyze bird calls.
e. All the above.
2. The difference between analog and digitizing oscilloscopes is:
a. Analog oscilloscopes do not have on-screen menus.
b. Analog oscilloscopes apply a measurement voltage directly to the display system, while digital oscil-
loscopes first convert the voltage into digital values.
c. Analog oscilloscopes measure analogs, whereas digitizing oscilloscopes measure digits.
d. Analog oscilloscopes do not have an acquisition system.
3. An oscilloscope’s vertical section does the following:
a. Acquires sample points with an ADC.
b. Starts a horizontal sweep.
c. Lets you adjust the brightness of the display.
d. Attenuates or amplifies the input signal.
4. The time base control of the oscilloscope does the following:
a. Adjusts the vertical scale.
b. Shows you the current time of day.
c. Sets the amount of time represented by the horizontal width of the screen.
d. Sends a clock pulse to the probe.
5. On an oscilloscope display:
a. Voltage is on the vertical axis and time is on the horizontal axis.
b. A straight diagonal trace means voltage is changing at a steady rate.
c. A flat horizontal trace means voltage is constant.
d. All the above.
6. All repeating waves have the following properties:
a. A frequency measured in hertz.
b. A period measured in seconds.
c. A bandwidth measured in hertz.
d. All the above.
7. If you probe inside a computer with an oscilloscope, you are likely to find the following types of signals:
a. Pulse trains.
b. Ramp waves.
c. Sine waves.
d. All the above.
8. When evaluating the performance of an analog oscilloscope, some things you might consider are:
a. The bandwidth.
b. The vertical sensitivity.
c. The ADC resolution.
d. The sweep speed.
9. The difference between digital storage oscilloscopes (DSO) and digital phosphor oscilloscopes (DPO) is:
a. The DSO has a higher bandwidth.
b. The DPO captures three dimensions of waveform information in real-time.
c. The DSO has a color display.
d. The DSO captures more signal details.
