Name: ……………………………………………. ID: ……………………………. Section:…..

Equipment:
1. Multimeter 1 / Each Group
2. Digital Oscilloscope MSO5000D with Manual 1 / Each Group
3. Signal Generator 1 / Each Group
4. Bread Board 1
5. Resistor 1

Experiment 1: Reading Color Coded Resistors and Using Multi-meters.


Experiment Setup: Get 3 different resistors from the Lab.
Task 1. Identify the color band on each resistor and identify its resistance value.

R1 : Band 1 …………... Band 2 …………… Band 3 …….…… Resistance = …………………

R2 : Band 1 …………... Band 2 …………… Band 3 …….…… Resistance = …………………

R3 : Band 1 …………... Band 2 …………… Band 3 …….…… Resistance = …………………

Task 2. Use Multimeter to measure the resistance from each resistor.

R1 : Measured Resistance = …………………

R2 : Measured Resistance = …………………

R3 : Measured Resistance = …………………

Experiment 2: Taking Simple Measurement using Oscilloscope.
Experiment Setup:

Task :
Task 1. Use a Multimeter to measure the resistance of a resistor.

Value of resistor = …………………….

Task 2. Set up the equipment as shown in the above picture. Make sure that you set the oscilloscope
probe to 10x.
Refer to Lecture P.P., set the JDS 2800 Series signal generator to a sine wave at 15 kHz (do not worry
about the amplitude yet).

When you want to observe an unknown signal in a certain circuit without having its amplitude
and frequency parameters, you may use these steps to take a fast measurement of the frequency, period,
and peak-to-peak amplitude of the signal.
Follow the steps below.

2
1. Set the switch on the oscilloscope probe to 10X.

2. Push the CH1 MENU button (the button will light up) and set the Probe option attenuation to 10X.

( Press CH1 MENU button or F0 button to display MENU, then press F4 button to select 10X )

3. Connect the CH1 probe to the test point of the circuit.


4. Press the AUTOSET button.
The oscilloscope will automatically set the waveform to the best display. If you want to further
optimize the waveform display, you may manually adjust the vertical and horizontal controls until the
waveform meets your requirements.
From the Oscilloscope, record the following values:

Pk-Pk voltage……………….. RMS Voltage…………………. , Freq ……………………, Period ……………………

Task 3. Set the signal generator to 250 kHz then get a good display on the scope.
Draw a screen picture.

From the scope, record the following values :


Pk-Pk voltage …………………… RMS voltage………….……… , Freq ………….….…, Period …………………

Task 4. Change Signal generator to Square wave. Draw picture and record: Pk-Pk, RMS, Freq. and
Period.

From the Oscilloscope, record the following values:

Pk-Pk voltage ……………………… RMS volt. …………………. , Freq ………………, Period …………………

Experiment 3: Taking Cursor Measurement


You can use the cursor to quickly measure the time and amplitude of a waveform. Measuring Ring Time
and Amplitude on Rising Edge of Pulse.
To measure the period and amplitude of a waveform, follow the steps below.
1. Push the CURSOR button to view the Cursor menu.
2. Push F1 the Type option button and select Time.
3. Push F2 or F3 the Source option button and select CH1.
4. Push F4 to select a cursor. If S is selected, turn V0 to move Cursor S on the screen; if E is selected, turn
V0 to move Cursor E; if both are selected, turn V0 to move them at the same time.
5. Put Cursor S at the beginning of the waveform.
6. Put Cursor E at the end of the waveform.
7. At Delta displays( dt ), the measured time between Cursor S and Cursor E displays the positions of
these two cursors (period of waveform).
8. To measure the amplitude of the waveform, push the Type option button and select Voltage.
9. Put Cursor S on the highest peak of the waveform.

4
10. Put Cursor E on the lowest point of the waveform. The amplitude of the waveform will be displayed
at Delta (dV).

Write down : Pk-Pk voltage ……………………….. , Period …………………………, Freq ……………………,

Experiment 3: Analyzing Input Signals to Eliminate Random Noise


Averaging reduces random noise and lets you view the signal details more easily

In certain circumstances, to display a noisy signal on the oscilloscope and to get its clear details, you may
follow the steps below to analyze this signal.

Observing Noisy Signal

1. Press the ACQUIRE button to see the Acquire menu.

2. Push the Type option button and select Real Time.

3. Push the Mode button to select the Peak Detect option to display a noisy signal.

4. If necessary, push the DISPLAY button and set the Contrast option to view the noise more clearly.

Eliminating Random Noise

1. Press the ACQUIRE button to see the Acquire menu.

2. Push the Type option button and select Real Time.

3. Push the Mode button to select the Average option button.

5
4. Push the Averages button and adjust the number of running averages to watch the change in the
waveform display.

Note: Averaging reduces random noise and lets you view the signal details more easily.

See the figure below for better understanding

Experiment 4: Capturing Single-shot Signal

**** Set the JDS 2800 signal generator to a Pulse wave at 15 kHz and duty cycle to 10%.

You may refer to the following example to easily capture some aperiodic signals like pulses and glitches.

To set for a single-shot acquisition, follow the steps below.

1. First, set up the oscilloscope probe and the attenuation factor of CH1.

2. Turn the vertical VOLTS/DIV and horizontal SEC/DIV knobs to a proper position for a better
examination of the signal.

3. Press the ACQUIRE button to see the Acquire menu.

4. Push the Mode button to select the Peak Detect option button.

5. Push the TRIG MENU button and select Rising for the Slope option. Then adjust the trigger level
properly (use TRIGGER LEVEL Knob and set the trigger level to 0 volts).

6. Push the SINGLE SEQ button to start the acquisition.

Using this feature can help you to capture occasional events more easily. This is an advantage of the
digital storage oscilloscope.

Push the SINGLE SEQ button to start the acquisition. Notice the displayed signal is frozen.
