INTRODUCTION:
Oscilloscope is an very
important test instrument in
electrical and electronics field.
It is used to look at the 'shape'
of electrical signals by
displaying a graph of voltage
against time on its screen.
It is like a voltmeter with the
valuable extra function of
showing how the voltage varies
with time.
Oscilloscopes are commonly
used to observe the exact wave
shape of an electrical signal.
CATHODE RAY TUBE:
This tube can be considered as the heart of any

CONSTRUCTION:
FRONT PANELS:
FOCUS CONTROL:- This control adjusts CRT
focus to obtain the sharpest, most-detailed trace.
INTENSITY CONTROL:- This adjusts trace
brightness.
BEAM FINDER:- It limits the beam deflection.
GRATICULE: The graticule is a grid of squares
that serve as reference marks for measuring the
displayed trace.
TIME_BASE CONTROLS: These select the horizontal speed
of the CRT's spot as it creates
the trace; this process is commonly referred to as the sweep. In
all but the least-costly modern 'scopes, the sweep speed is
selectable and calibrated in units of time per major graticule
division.
