Abstract

The main objective of this session was to understand and become familiar with
the use of two devices: the oscilloscope and the function generator. To do this, a set of signals
were configured in both devices to see how it was reproduced. The signal generator substituted
the mains as source to be able to reproduce waveforms and finally the modes of operation of the
oscilloscope were tested.

In this experiment the group

familiarized themselves with the equipment
used in this experiment. When it comes to
turning the amplitude control increasing the
value will increase the +-values for the Y axis
and vice versa. In turning the frequency
control as the value for frequency increases
the wavelength in the graph deceases and
vice versa. Finally for turning the duty cycle
control as the value increases the the
amplitude ratio increases and vice versa.

Thoughts about the Experiment:

This experiment was a success with

my group mates because we did the
experiment in a calm and orderly manner
where everyone was participating and
cooperating.
