Ece104 Experiment 1 Lab Report

This document provides an overview of familiarizing oneself with the components and operation of an oscilloscope. It describes adjusting settings like focus, vertical coupling, position controls, and trigger mode. The experiment involved using an oscilloscope to display the waveform of a voltage applied across a resistor. While not all planned procedures were completed, some settings were adjusted successfully. The document concludes that oscilloscopes are important tools for analyzing various signals beyond just electrical engineering applications.

In this experiment, we have learned about the


basic functions of an oscilloscope and as a
recall of the previous course, this equipment
made us realize that oscilloscopes are meant to
be studied even if you are taking an mechanical

in analyzing mechanical stresses, pressure and

signals.
