Really Leon, finding a link is easy. Just go to Google and type "how to use an oscilloscope". There are 765 links that came up when I did that. If you do not know how to search for information on the internet, just use a search engine like Google, Yahoo, or other. Just type your topic in the space provided and hit Enter.

I had to reread that. I thought you said you were a 7 year old boy (Wow! and he's studying oscilloscopes?)!

Now, I understand. You've got a 7 year old assistant to type for you. That's mighty kind of him. My hat's off to your friend.

I take it you've got an oscilloscope handy to practice on. It's a little difficult to learn how to use it if you rely only on your imagination. It would be nice to have a function or waveform generator too.

I believe Fluke and one or two of the other oscilloscope manufacturers have screen diplays for computers which allow you to point your mouse to the front panel button or item of your intrest, it will then tell you what it does and the possible waveform is also displayed. This is a semi interactive sort of thing.

If you can use the mouse this would be an easy way to check out various functions .

Good hunting.

If you don't have access to an O-scope check out E-bay -- They're a dime dozen for older basic machines and you'll gain a lot more insight from actually using one.

Try http://oscilloscope-tutorials.com/ and https://www.cs.tcd.ie/courses/baict/bac/jf/labs/scope/oscilloscope.html

Basically, an oscilloscope shoots an electron beam at a phosphor coated screen (so you can see the impinging electrons). An amplifier is used on the signal input to make the signal fit the screen size in the vertical direction. By adjusting the amplifier knob (gain) you can make the signal either too small to see its characteristics, or make it too large to see the top and bottom parts of the signal.

Another part of the oscilloscope sends the electron beam from one side of the screen to the other at a user-chosen speed. This is called the sweep frequency, and its form is a saw-toothed wave, which sorta looks like a bunch of right triangles laid end to end. The lowest point makes the electron beam aim at one end of the screen, and the highest point makes the beam point at the other end of the screen. In between, the beam moves from one end of the screen to the other at a constant rate.

When used together, a signal, such as a signal from a microphone when you talk into it, can be displayed on an oscilloscope screen as a representation of the frequencies and amplitudes (dictionaries are helpful) contained in your voice. You can say "hello" three different ways, and you will see three different representations.

Glad to help further. Email me or reply to this forum.

Hi guest,

I wonder if you have been able to find a relevant lesson that could help you to learn to use the oscilloscope successfully?

Please let me know if you can I am interested or do you still need your assistance for typing?
