2. Pre-lab Questions
 What does a voltmeter do?
Analog voltmeters
A digital voltmeter
 Voltmeters: measure the electrical potential
difference between two points in an electric circuit.
 Do you know the other instruments which also can be
used to determine the voltage ?
2. Pre-lab Questions
 What is a cathode ray?
The deflections of the beam are visible if viewed closely with very low ambient light level.
Cathode rays: streams of electrons observed in evacuated
glass tubes that are equipped with a cathode (negative
electrode) and an anode (positive electrode).
Anode rays
 Anode Rays?
Holes

4. Procedure & Experiment

Basic operations of the oscilloscope
Make sure the output of the YB1601 function generator
is attached to the CH1(X) input of the YB43020B
oscilloscope.
1. Turn on the POWER to the oscilloscope.
2. Set the FOCUS and INTENSITY control halfway.
3. Set the VERT. MODE setting to CH1(X).
4.
Set HORIZ. trigger MODE to AUTO, the trigger LEVEL to the
center of range, the TRIG. SOURCE to CH1(X) identical with
the VET. MODE setting so that a stationary voltage curve can
be easily displayed.
5. Set the SEC/DIV switch to 0.1 ms/DIV.
6. Set the VOLTS/DIV switch for CH1(X) to 0.5 V/DIV.
4. Procedure & Experiment
7. Se the VARIABLE controls rotated fully counterclockwise
to the CAL positions, respectively.
8. Turn on the POWER to the function generator.
9. Select a sine waveform FUNCTION, set the frequency
f = 1000 Hz. Adjust the AMPL control to zero.
9. Adjust the FOCUS and INTENSITY control to produce a
not too bright but clear line.
10.Adjust the vertical POSITION control for CH1(X) of the
oscilloscope until the trace is exactly on the center line of
the vertical display.
11.Adjust the AMPL control of the signal generator, and
watch.

Lissajous Figures (Optional)
A Lissajous curve depicts the composition of simple harmonic motions in
mutually perpendicular (X-Y) directions, produced by transverse electric
forces exerting on an election moving along the Z-axis direction, which
can be described by parametric equations:
Vx  Ax sin( 2 f x t )

Vy  Ay sin( 2 f y t   )

It can be done on an oscilloscope in X-Y mode.
Whenever a stationary pattern is achieved, the frequency ratio fx / fy of the
horizontal input to the vertical input is equal to the ratio Ny / Nx of the
number of vertical to horizontal points of tangency to a rectangle that
encloses the pattern, i.e., fx / fy is rational .
4. Procedure & Experiment

Unknown frequency Measurement
1. Connect the unknown sine voltage source to the CH2(Y) input
of the scope.
2. Turn on the POWER to the unknown source.
3. Set the horizontal sweep SEC/DIV switch at the position X-Y .
4. Use the COARSE and FINE control to adjust the frequency of
the function generator patiently in order that the stationary
patterns with ratio Ny / Nx = 1, 2, 2/3 are displayed on the screen,
respectively.
5. Record the frequency reading fx from the function generator,
draw the sketch map, and calculate the unknown frequency,
respectively.
