Measuring PeakĆtoĆPeak Voltages

To find the voltage of a waveform peakĆtoĆpeak, follow these steps.

ĂĂStep 1:ă

Position the waveform so that either the lowest or the

highest point (peak) is at the horizontal center of the screen. In

Figure AĆ2, the high peak is at the center of the screen. Use the

vertical center line to help you.

ĂĂStep 2:ă

Count the vertical major and minor divisions occupied by

the waveform from its high point (labeled

in Figure AĆ2) to its

low point (labeled

in Figure AĆ2).

ĂĂStep 3:ă

Multiply the number of divisions by the volts per division.

Divisions

Figure AĆ2:ăMeasuring PeakĆtoĆPeak Voltages

For example, Figure AĆ2 shows a sine wave that is five major divisions

high. As the readout at the top left indicates, the vertical scale factor is

0.2 volts per division. Therefore, the peakĆtoĆpeak voltage of the sine
wave is 5

0.2, or 1Ăvolt.
