What are three things that can be measured with an oscilloscope?

Answer 1

an oscilloscope provides you with a trace that shows voltage over time. The classic oscilloscope trace would be a sine wave of the mains voltage. the vertical axis is voltage and the horizontal axis is time

So several things that can be measured include
peak voltage
peak to peak voltage
period (duration) of a wave
time between 2 events
waveform shape

modern oscilloscopes include digitisation of the signal and advanced trigger functions to capture single events (rather than periodic events)

Answer 2

[edit]Examples of use


Lissajous figures on an oscilloscope, with 90 degrees phase difference between x and y inputs.
One of the most frequent uses of scopes is troubleshooting malfunctioning electronic equipment. One of the advantages of a scope is that it can graphically show signals: where a voltmeter may show a totally unexpected voltage, a scope may reveal that the circuit is oscillating. In other cases the precise shape of a pulse is important.
In a piece of electronic equipment, for example, the connections between stages (e.g. electronic mixers, electronic oscillators, amplifiers) may be 'probed' for the expected signal, using the scope as a simple signal tracer. If the expected signal is absent or incorrect, some preceding stage of the electronics is not operating correctly. Since most failures occur because of a single faulty component, each measurement can prove that half of the stages of a complex piece of equipment either work, or probably did not cause the fault.
Once the faulty stage is found, further probing can usually tell a skilled technician exactly which component has failed. Once the component is replaced, the unit can be restored to service, or at least the next fault can be isolated.

Another use is to check newly designed circuitry. Very often a newly designed circuit will misbehave because of design errors, bad voltage levels, electrical noise etc. Digital electronics usually operate from a clock, so a dual-trace scope which shows both the clock signal and a test signal dependent upon the clock is useful. "Storage scopes" are helpful for "capturing" rare electronic events that cause defective operation.


Another use is for software engineers who must program electronics. Often a scope is the only way to see if the software is running the electronics properly.

Answer 3

Oscilloscopes are used by everyone from television repair technicians to physicists. They are indispensable for anyone designing or repairing electronic equipment.
The usefulness of an oscilloscope is not limited to the world of electronics. With the proper transducer, an oscilloscope can measure all kinds of phenomena. A transducer is a device that creates an electrical signal in response to physical stimuli, such as sound, mechanical stress, pressure, light, or heat. For example, a microphone is a transducer.
An automotive engineer uses an oscilloscope to measure engine vibrations. A medical researcher uses an oscilloscope to measure brain waves. The possibilities are endless.

Answer 4

An oscilloscope (sometimes abbreviated CRO, for cathode-ray oscilloscope, or commonly just scope or O-scope) is a piece of electronic test equipment that allows signal voltages to be viewed, usually as a two-dimensional graph of one or more electrical potential differences (vertical axis) plotted as a function of time or of some other voltage (horizontal axis).

Answer 5

An oscilloscope measures voltage vs time. There are a million systems that fit this bill - you name it. The output of a watch battery, the frequency of an AC electric field, or the relative energy of a picosecond pulse of laser radiation as it strikes a photomultiplier tube.

good luck thinking of your own examples.

According to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle we cannot measure a subatomic particle's position and speed to an accuracy at the same time. If you measure the speed very well, you don;t know where it is. We also cannot tell whether an electron (for example) is a wave or a particle at any given time.

Answer 7

Sound is one I believe.

You can determine the time and voltage values of a signal.
You can calculate the frequency of an oscillating signal.
You can see the "moving parts" of a circuit represented by the signal.
You can tell if a malfunctioning component is distorting the signal.
You can find out how much of a signal is direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC).
You can tell how much of the signal is noise and whether the noise is changing with time.

Don't know if its right.

Answer 9

Amplitude, frequency, waveform.

Amplitude, frequency, phase.

Peak voltage, decay rate, delay.

You need to be more precise. There are lots of combinations.
