Week #7: (10/19) Diode Review, Measurement Basics

Post by rjagodowski »

This week we'll discuss some of the issues that may arise in some of the lab exercises, such as: generator loading (50 ohm internal resistance); 10x o'scope probes: what they do, how they do it and why?; scope probe compensation; Agilent Oscilloscope Probe multiplication setting.

Here are some miscellaneous support links for Measurements:

YouTube Tutorial on how to use and oscilloscope. The scope used in this video is the same as our Agilent Digital 'Scopes.

How to calibrate a 10x scope probe.
