Uses of Cathode Ray Oscilloscope

Uses of Cathode Ray Oscilloscope

In a laboratory, a cathode ray oscilloscope can used to

1. display different types of wave form. 
2. measure short time interval
3. measure potential difference (as a voltmeter)

Displaying Wave Forms

1. A cathode ray oscilloscope can be used to display different types of waveform by connecting a power supply to the Y-input. 
2. Figure below shows a few types of waveform displays on an oscilloscope.
