Lecture Notes 09

An oscilloscope is a graph-displaying device used to measure electrical signals, showing time on the x-axis and voltage on the y-axis. Oscilloscopes are used to design and repair electronic equipment, measure signals in digital circuits, diagnose issues, and capture single events. They can display both analog and digital signals. Key components include the vertical, horizontal, and trigger systems to control the display. Probes are also important for properly connecting to circuits without interfering with signals. Oscilloscopes provide critical information for analyzing electronic systems and diagnosing problems.
