1. STUDY OF CRO AND ITS APPLICATIONS
AIM: To study about CRO and its applications.
APPARATUS: Cathode ray oscilloscope.
PROCEDURE:
Measurement and its applications:
I.) Amplitude measurement:
1. Before any measurement switch the power supply.
2. Apply 20mV and 1KHz signal from the signal generator to any
channel of the CRO with the help of probes.
3. Note the reading (peak to peak) with the help of scale each one unit
is divided in to five sub units and that is multiplied with
volt/division scale.
4. And tabulate the readings (each block is one unit).
II.) Frequency measurement:
1. The above steps in amplitude measurement are similar for the
frequency measurement but we consider time/div scale.
2. Reciprocal of one cycle multiplies with time/div gives the
frequency of the applied signal.
III.) Phase measurement:
1. Apply two signals with different frequencies with the help of
function generator.
2. Keep the CRO in dual mode of operation.
3. By varying time/div unit, observe the different wave forms on the
screen.
4. If we observe the circle on the screen the phase difference is 900
i.e., two signals differs 900 of phase. Etc.
