Introduction to Oscilloscopes and
Probes
The environment around us contains various energy
sources, such as electronic appliances, which generate
signals. Oscilloscopes allow you to observe these signals to
analyze the performance of their energy sources. This
module introduces you to oscilloscopes and the methods to
measure electrical signals by using oscilloscopes and
associated probes.
At the end of this module, you will be able to:
•
Identify the types of oscilloscopes.
•
List the terms to describe the performance of
oscilloscopes.
•
Identify the types of voltage probes.
•
Describe the loading effects of probes on signals.
