Question

This semester we will introduce the oscilloscope, which will be a vital tool to use this semester. Read pages 1-14 of the Keysight "DSO1000 oscilloscope Educator's Training Resources, " which is located on Blackboard. How does a scope probe differ from a meter probe? Why does 10:1 mean? Provide examples. The Analog Discovery has an oscilloscope as one of its tools. Answer the following pertaining to the Analog Discovery: How do you access the oscilloscope? How many channels does it have? What pins correspond to the channel or channels? Can we use a conventional scope probe? If yes, how do we do that? .When using he scope, are there any features of the Analog Discovery that are disabled? lf yes, what are they?

Explanation / Answer

(a) Sccope probes using coaxial cables transmit signal from tip to oscilloscope instead of simple flying leads used in meter probes which are vulnerable to interference and high freqency signals. This improves the accuracy of low level signal in comparision to simple meter probes. Lower inductance is also another advantage, The main disadvatage is that these probes have higher capacitance.

(b) 10:1 means the probe will attenuate any input signal by factor 10. For example for a sine wave of amplitude 1 this probe will attenuate it to sine wave of amplitude of 0.1
