Figure caption, Oscilloscope trace showing battery voltage: a straight horizontal line at the top of the screen. The signal is a horizontal line showing constant voltage. This means that it does ...

the acquisition of a first oscilloscope. In decades past that usually meant a relatively modest instrument, maybe a 20MHz bandwidth and dual trace if you were lucky. Higher spec devices were eye ...

To determine peak voltage from an oscilloscope trace, the maximum vertical deviation of the trace from the centre line is measured from the screen. This number of divisions is multiplied by the Y ...

Do you remember your first oscilloscope? Maybe we have entered the era in which younger readers think of a sleek model with an LCD screen, but for the slightly older among us the image that will ...
