Oscilloscope Familiarization Labs
Lab #1: Using Cursors and Automatic Parametric Measurements
During this first hands- on lab, you will learn how to make simple voltage
and timing measurements using the scope’s manually positioned
measurement cursors, as well as perform similar measurements using the
scope’s automatic parametric measurement capability.
1
Connect the channel- 1 probe to the Demo 1 terminal and ground.
2
Press
[Default Setup]
on the scope’s front panel.
3
Press
[Help]
; then press the
Training Signals
softkey.
4
Using the Entry knob, select the
Repetitive Pulse with Ringing
signal; then
press the
Output
softkey to turn it on.
5
Set channel- 1’s V/div setting to
500 mV/div
.
6
Set channel- 1’s position/offset to
1.40 V
.
7
Push the trigger level knob to automatically set the trigger level at
approximately
50%
.
8
Set the scope’s timebase to
500.0 ns/div
.
At this point, you should see a repetitive digital pulse with overshoot and
ringing similar to what is shown in
. Note that all front panel
knobs are pushable. If you push the V/div knob or time/div knob, you can
toggle between course adjustment and fine adjustment (vernier control).
When other knobs are pushed, the scope will pre- set conditions associated
