1. INTRODUCTION
PRESENTATION:
OSCILLOSCOPE.

2. Introduction What is an oscilloscope? what can you do with it?
How does it work ?(THROUGH Block Diagram)
This section answers these fundamental questions.

3. What is an oscilloscope?
Introduced by German Physicist Ferdinand Braun in 1897.
"The oscilloscope is basically a graph-displaying device - it draws a graph of an electrical signal."
Electrical Signal Visual signal
-ALSO CALLED electron beam voltmeter.

4. This simple graph can tell you many things about a signal
This simple graph can tell you many things about a signal. Here are a few:
You can determine the time and voltage values of a signal.
You can calculate the frequency of an oscillating signal.
You can see the "moving parts" of a circuit represented by the signal.
You can tell if a malfunctioning component is distorting the signal.
You can find out how much of a signal is direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC).
You can tell how much of the signal is noise and whether the noise is changing with time.

5. What Can You Do With It? Oscilloscopes are used by everyone.
Television repair technicians.
Physicists.
An automotive engineer uses an oscilloscope to measure engine
vibrations.
A medical researcher uses an oscilloscope to measure brain waves.
The possibilities are endless.

6. Types
Analog
Digital
"An analog oscilloscope works by directly applying a voltage being measured to an electron beam moving across the oscilloscope screen."
"In contrast, a digital oscilloscope samples the waveform and uses an analog-to-digital converter (or ADC) to convert the voltage being measured into digital information."

7. Block Diagram

8. Another Refrence Diagram

9. Major blocks in Block Diagram earlier are,
CRT
Vertical amplifier
Delay line
Time base
Horizontal amplifier
Trigger circuit
Power supply
Let's get familiar to the above terms.

10. CRT stands for Cathode Ray Tube.
Cathode Ray Tube is the heart of the oscilloscope. When the electrons emitted by the electron gun strikes the phosphorus screen of the CRT, a visual signal is displayed on the CRT.

11. CRT (Diagramatic Elaboration)

12. 2. Vertical Amplifier
In Vertical Amplifier,The input signals are amplified by the vertical amplifier. Usually, the vertical amplifier is a wide band amplifier which passes the entire band of frequencies.

13. 3. Delay Line
Delay Line as the name suggests that, this circuit is used to, delay the signal for a period of time in the vertical section of CRT. The input signal is not applied directly to the vertical plates because the part of the signal gets lost, when the delay Time not used. Therefore, the input signal is delayed
by a period of time.

14. 4. Time Base Circuit
Time base circuit uses a uni junction transistor, which is used to produce the sweep. The saw tooth voltage produced by the time base circuit is required to deflect the beam in the horizontal section. The spot is deflected by the saw tooth voltage at a constant time dependent rate.

15. 5. Horizontal Amplifier
In Horizontal Amplifier, The saw tooth voltage produce by the time base circuit is amplified by the horizontal amplifier before it is applied to horizontal deflection plates.

16. 6. Trigger Circuit
Well when an signal is applied to the input of the CRO we require a mechanism that tells the CRO to trace the input signal on the display. This mechanism is called the CRO Triggering Circuit.

17. 7. Power supply
The Power supply voltages require by CRT, horizontal amplifier and vertical amplifier are provided by the power supply block.

18. Power supply block of oscilloscope is classified in to two types
(1) Negative high voltage supply
(2) Positive low voltage supply
The voltages of negative high voltage supply is from -1000V to -1500V and the range of positive voltage supply is from 300V to 400V approx.

19. Uses. As picture Tube in TV Radar System to detect enemy aircraft.
To measure voltage or current, the drop across a resistor is measured.
To study waveforms: A visual display is seen.
Measurement of frequency and phase angle.
