Study Notes
Digital Ohmmeter and Multimeter
- A digital ohmmeter's operation is based on the conversion of a resistance measurement into a digital display.
- A key feature of digital multimeters is their ability to provide accurate measurements over a wide range of values.
Oscilloscope Measurement and Connection
- An oscilloscope connects in a circuit using a probe, which is usually a voltage-measuring device.
- The voltage section of an oscilloscope measures the amplitude of the waveform.
- The time base of an oscilloscope measures the time duration of the waveform.
Oscilloscope Controls and Display
- The vertical position of the waveform on an oscilloscope is adjusted using the vertical position control.
- The display on an oscilloscope represents the waveform of the measured signal.
Troubleshooting and Semiconductor Testing
- The best way to troubleshoot circuits is by first understanding the circuit's operation and then using an oscilloscope to measure the voltage at different points.
- A digital multimeter's diode test function is used to test semiconductor devices.
Data Analysis and Safety Precautions
- Oscilloscope waveforms can be downloaded into a computer for further analysis.
- When using a grounded probe on an oscilloscope, the probe should be connected to the ungrounded circuit conductor to ensure safety.
