Uses of Cathode Ray Oscilloscope
In a laboratory, a cathode ray oscilloscope can used to
- display different types of wave form.
- measure short time interval
- measure potential difference (as a voltmeter)
Displaying Wave Forms
- A cathode ray oscilloscope can be used to display different types of waveform by connecting a power supply to the Y-input.
- Figure below shows a few types of waveform displays on an oscilloscope.
