What can you test with an oscilloscope?

voltage waves
Engineers use oscilloscopes to measure electrical phenomena and quickly test, verify, and debug their circuit designs. The primary function of an oscilloscope is to measure voltage waves. Those waves are displayed on a graph that can tell you many things about a signal, such as: The time and voltage values of a signal.

Can I use an IPAD as an oscilloscope?

Oscilloscope for iOS is great for analyzing audio range signals, or learning oscilloscope measurement basics. The interface includes many standard oscilloscope controls, such as: triggering, time and voltage per division, signal measurement cursors, and more.

Is there an oscilloscope app?

Oscilloscope app is great for analyzing audio range signals, or learning oscilloscope measurement basics. The interface includes many standard oscilloscope controls, such as: triggering, time and voltage per division, signal measurement cursors, and more. Oscilloscope probes also be connected (using a BNC connector).

What does a waveform generator do?

A waveform generator is a classification of a signal generator used to generate electrical waveforms over a wide range of signals. Common types of waveforms outputs include sine wave, square wave, ramp or triangular wave, pulse wave, cardiac pattern wave, gaussian pulse waves, arbitrary waves.

What can I use instead of an oscilloscope?

While a digitizer is a system component, that acquires and stores an electrical voltage waveform and, with auxiliary software, displays that data on a screen. So the answer is that; yes, a digitizer can be used like an oscilloscope.

Does oscilloscope need ground?

Grounding the oscilloscope is necessary for safety. The oscilloscope needs to share the same ground as any circuits you are testing. Some oscilloscopes do not require separate connection to earth ground. These oscilloscopes have insulated cases and controls, which keeps any possible shock hazard away from the user.

Can I use my phone as a oscilloscope?

First 100MS/s Open Source Oscilloscope for iPad, Android and PC. The SmartScope is the first lab instrument that works on both PC, laptop, tablet and smartphone.

How do you make waveforms?

Gamry Instruments uses two different methods to generate a waveform depending on the frequency range. A direct digital synthesizer (DDS) sine wave generator is used to generate high‑frequency signals. A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is used for low‑frequency signals.
