    This lab document outlines steps for students to become familiar with lab equipment like digital oscilloscopes by compensating probes, observing signals using different triggers, exploring acquisition modes, examining the effects of DC coupling versus AC coupling, learning how to set up and measure signals on a breadboard circuit, and measuring time and voltage differences between signals at different frequencies. Students are instructed to take photos at each step and get approval from their TA before moving on.

    Lab 1: Introduction to Digital Oscilloscopes

    The purpose of this lab is to get yourself used to the lab equipment.

    Read the document Digital Oscilloscope Principles on Moodle before the Lab.

    Lab Work:

    In the lab, please do each task in order. At each step take photographs of your results to put them in your
    reports. After each step, you need to get the approval of your TA, so do not move on if you will lose the
    results until your TA sees them.

    1. Use the compensation signal of the oscilloscope and compensate your probes as explained in the
    above-mentioned document. Explain in your report (with photos) how you compensated your
    probes. (Make sure that you use your probe with appropriate attenuation factor).

    2. Using a signal generator, apply a 5 Vpp (peak-to-peak) sinusoidal signal with frequency 1 kHz
    (Note that this signal should not have a DC component). Use the oscilloscope to monitor this signal.
    First, use positive edge triggering and report (with photos) what you see on the screen. Then,
    apply negative edge triggering and report the result.

    3. Apply a 1 Vpp triangular wave with 2 kHz frequency to the oscilloscope. Observe and report the
    effect of turning the trigger knob on the oscilloscope. Comment in your report on what the
    triggering concept is.

    4. What is digital to analog converter (DAC)? What is an analog to digital converter (ADC)? What are
    they used for? Which one is used in oscilloscopes and how? Answer in your report. Apply a 1 Vpp
    square wave with 5 kHz frequency to the oscilloscope. Then try all the acquisition modes (sample,
    peak detect, average) and report (with photos) your observations.

    5. Generate a sinusoidal signal with 2 Vpp amplitude and 1 kHz frequency. Also apply a DC offset of
    1 V. First, use DC coupling on the oscilloscope and report (with photos) what you see. Then use
    AC coupling and report the result. Comment on the difference.

    6. Check how a breadboard works. Very briefly explain it in your report. Set up the following circuit
    on your breadboard. Do not forget to connect the grounds. It is common practice to use the long
    blue lines on your breadboard for ground and red lines for voltage sources as they connect to
    most other components. Notice that on some breadboards, these lines may be disconnected at
    the middle of the board.
    Apply a 2 Vpp 1 kHz sinusoidal signal (with 0 DC offset) as the X signal. Borrow a friend’s probe
    and display both X and Y signals on the oscilloscope. Make sure you connect the grounds of both
    channels to the common ground; oscilloscopes measure voltage differences. Use channel 1 for X
    and channel 2 for Y. You should be using channel 1 as the trigger source. Learn how to measure
    time and voltage differences on an oscilloscope. Measure the delay between signals X and Y.
    Calculate the phase difference (note that a full period corresponds to a phase of 2π). Then, change
    the frequency to 100 kHz and repeat. Report (with photos) the results. Try to comment on the
    difference between different frequencies.

    (Note: If the signal generator is not terminated by an impedance of 50 Ohms but instead by high
    impedance, the output magnitude may be twice the desired value. Therefore, always check the
    values with oscilloscopes. While conducting above experiments and taking photos, make sure that
    it is the right thing that you are taking photos of.)
