    Study Notes

    Experiment 01: Familiarization with Electronics Lab Instruments

    • Aim: Familiarization with Oscilloscopes, Function Generators, Digital Multimeters, and DC Power Supplies.

    Oscilloscopes

    • Function: A versatile instrument for measuring and displaying various signals.
    • Subsystems: Power supplies (high and low voltage), display subsystem, vertical and horizontal amplifiers, and display systems.
    • Types:
      • Analog Oscilloscopes (Cathode Ray Oscilloscopes - CRO): Visual display of voltage signals.
      • Digital Storage Oscilloscopes (DSO): Store and display waveforms digitally.
      • Mixed Mode (Analog/Digital): Combine analog and digital features.
    • Signal Display:
      • Input signal is converted to a voltage signal.
      • Transmitted via a cable, usually coaxial.
      • Signal may need amplification.
    • Analog Oscilloscope (CRO) Operation:
      • X and Y signals applied to horizontal and vertical plates of the Cathode Ray Tube (CRT).
      • Electrons create a spot of light on the fluorescent screen.
      • Beam deflection: Vertical deflection proportional to voltage, horizontal deflection follows a sweep signal.
      • For a periodic signal, a stable, repeating pattern displays the waveform on the screen.
      • Trigger controls synchronize the horizontal sweep with the vertical deflection.
      • High frequencies (>40Hz) show as solid lines.

    Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO)

    • Operation: Samples input waveform, uses ADC to convert voltage to digital information, reconstructs waveform.
    • Sampling: ADC samples the signal at discrete points in time.
    • Sample Rate: Rate at which the clock "ticks" (samples per second).
    • Record Length: Number of sample points used to make a waveform record.
    • Trigger System: Determines start and stop points of the record.
    • Additional Features: Pre-trigger option (display events before trigger point), and additional processing of sample points.
    • Major Specifications:
      • Model: DSO 1022A, M/s Agilent Technologies, USA
      • Bandwidth: DC to 200 MHz
      • Vertical range: 2 mV/div to 10 V/div
      • Vertical resolution: 8 bits
      • Real-time sample rate: 2 GSa/s (half channel), 1 GSa/s (each channel)
      • Time-base range: 1 ns/div to 50 s/div
      • Dynamic range: +6 div
      • DC gain accuracy, Input coupling, Input impedance, Channels, and more.

    Channels CH-1 and CH-2

    • Display: Separate colored displays for each channel on the LCD screen.
    • Coupling Modes: DC, AC, and Ground.
    • Triggering: Using triggering controls, adjust the parameters to obtain a stable display. Different parameters are available such as Type: Edge, Pulse, Video; Source: CH 1, CH 2, External, Line; Slope/Coupling: Slope (+ve/-ve), Coupling (DC/AC), Rejection (Off/LF/HF), Noise Rej (Off/On); Mode: Auto, Normal.
    • Continuous vs. Single Trigger Modes: To acquire the signal continuously or just once.

    Function Generator (FG)

    • Function: Generates different voltage signals; Sine, Pulse, Triangle.
    • Application: Commonly used in electronic applications, particularly in Testing and signal analysis.
