Introduction to Oscilloscopes (Full Lecture)

In this lecture we'll take a brief look at the oscilloscope, a device that not only measures the voltage waveform under inspection but also displays a plot of it on a screen. We'll orient ourselves to the device and learn how to properly vertically and horizontally scale, position, trigger, couple, and attenuate a voltage signal for display and measurement purposes.

"Triggering must occur off an event that actually happens on a regular basis" ----> fantastically explained

Thank you. I learned a lot. I have a lab in my apartment and plan on enrolling in electronics school in December. I was finding my oscilloscope a little intimidating at first but a lot has been clarified now. Thanks 👍. I've been teaching myself since I was 12 from books and breadboarding.

Very nice! You are going to be WAY ahead of your classmates. Please tell them about these free resources when you get the chance.

Thank you. I'm taking an AC Fundamental. Your videos help me a lot.

Thanks Jim for fundamental educational explanations!

[@workwillfreeyou]

Exceptional job! Thanks.

[@roseelectronics4582]

An informative and thorough demonstration!

very educative. Thank you. regards

Just to be fair, there is a way for a newbie to smoke a scope. If the 'lab partner' (lol you crack me with that) tries to measure high voltage and accidentally puts the ground part of the probe on the live part of the circuit carrying high voltage. Then you'd see an exploding probe, a highly mangled lab partner and a BBQing rotisserie instead of a scope! One way to prevent this I find is to use a GFCI outlet or GFCI power bar.

My Fluke 97 is broken! Both of them.
