Question
A. There are controls on the function generator and the oscilloscope that have similiar effects on the vertical size of the image on the screen, but they aren't doing exactly the same thing. Identify those controls on each instrument, and explain in your own words how they are actually doing different things. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
B. Answer the same question as in A, but now regarding controls that affect the horizontal size of the image on the screen.
C. One aspect of the image on the screen can be controlled only by the function generator. What is that aspect, and why can't the oscilloscope change it?
Explanation / Answer
A.
Yes, In the Function Generator and the Oscilloscope, we have some controls that when changed produce similar changes in on the output screen vertically.
It is the Amplitude in Function Generator and the Y scale in Oscilloscope.
Increasing the amplitude of the wave on constant scale. This is same as decreasing the Y-scale in constant amplitude. Both these changes will increase the size of wave vertically.
Similarly, Decreasing the amplitude in Function Generator or increasing the Y-scale in Oscilloscope will decrease the size of wave vertically.
B.
Horizontally, the change observed is in the timescale.
Increasing the frequency in Function Generator or increasing the X-axis in Oscilloscope will decrease the time period in the wave output.
Similarly, Decreasing the frequency or decreasing the X-scale in oscilloscope will increase the time period in the wave output(change found horizontally).
C.
The option of choosing a square-wave or a triangular wave can only be controlled by the Function Generator.
This answers all your questions.
If you got any doubts just comment.
Cheers!
