Oscilloscope Information

What is Oscilloscope

An oscilloscope is a type of electronic test instrument that graphically displays varying voltages of one or more signals as a function of time. It is used to capture and analyze electrical signals, presenting waveforms that allow users to observe and measure characteristics such as amplitude, frequency, rise time, and distortion.


History of Oscilloscope

Early high-speed visualizations of electrical voltages were made with an electromechanical oscillograph. Later, the cathode ray tube (CRT) was developed, and in 1899, Jonathan Zenneck equipped the Braun tube with beam-forming plates and a magnetic field for deflecting the trace, which formed the basis of the CRT. In 1931, V. K. Zworykin described a permanently sealed, high-vacuum cathode ray tube with a thermionic emitter, enabling General Radio to manufacture a usable oscilloscope. After World War II, surplus electronic parts led to the revival of the Heathkit Corporation, with a $50 oscilloscope kit being a market success.


Purpose of Oscilloscope

Oscilloscopes are used in various fields like the sciences, engineering, biomedical, automotive, and telecommunications industries. In electronics, they help debug circuits and analyze signal integrity. In medicine, they can display waveforms like electrocardiograms. In research, they are used to study the characteristics of electrical signals in different experiments.


Principle of Oscilloscope

Analog oscilloscopes use analog circuits. The electron gun in the cathode ray tube emits electrons, which are focused into a beam and hit the screen. The screen's inner surface is coated with fluorescent material, so the points hit by the electron beam emit light. Digital oscilloscopes work by converting the measured voltage into digital information through an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). They capture a series of sample values of the waveform, store them, and then reconstruct the waveform.


Features of Oscilloscope

Modern oscilloscopes are often lightweight and portable. They have high bandwidths to measure high-frequency signals accurately. Digital oscilloscopes offer features like multiple trigger modes, waveform storage and recall, and built-in measurement functions. Some advanced models support spectral analysis and can connect to computers for data transfer and further processing.


Types of Oscilloscope

  • By Signal Type: Analog oscilloscopes directly display waveforms with electron beams; digital oscilloscopes sample and process analog signals before display.
  • By Displayed Signals: Single-trace oscilloscopes have one input and show one signal; dual-trace oscilloscopes can display two different signals; multi-trace oscilloscopes show multiple signals.
  • By Signal Frequency: Ultra-low frequency, ordinary, high-frequency, and ultra-high frequency oscilloscopes.
  • By Circuit Structure: Vacuum tube, transistor, and integrated circuit oscilloscopes.
  • By Appearance: Desktop, handheld, tablet, and virtual oscilloscopes.


Precautions for using Oscilloscope

  • Power Supply: Ensure a stable power supply to avoid data loss.
  • Environment: Place it in a dry and ventilated area to prevent moisture and dust accumulation.
  • Probe Use: Select the appropriate probe and connect it correctly. Avoid overloading the probe.
  • Display Settings: Do not keep a very bright spot fixed on the screen for a long time to prevent damage to the fluorescent material.


Things to consider when purchasing Oscilloscope

  • Bandwidth: It should meet the requirements of the measured signal frequency.
  • Sampling Rate: Higher sampling rates ensure accurate waveform capture.
  • Channels: Choose the number of channels according to the number of signals to be measured.
  • Trigger Function: A powerful trigger function helps capture the desired waveform.
  • Price and Brand: Consider the price and choose a well-known brand with good after-sales service.


Terms of Oscilloscope

  • Bandwidth: The frequency range within which the oscilloscope can accurately measure signals.
  • Sampling Rate: The number of samples taken per second of the input signal.
  • Vertical Resolution: The ability to resolve small voltage differences in the vertical direction.
  • Trigger Level: The voltage level at which the trigger circuit activates the sweep.
  • Timebase: The horizontal scale that determines the time per division on the display.
