3. On the oscilloscope, select A versus B mode to display a plot of frequency versus
amplitude. Set the Channel A vertical sensitivity for 0.05 VOLTS/DIV and AC
coupling. Set Channel B for 1 VOLTIDIV. Adjust horizontal POSITION and Channel
A vertical POSN controls for a stable display at mid screen. Then, increase Channel A
sensitivity to 0.01 VIDIV.
