Title: Use an oscilloscope.
Course: Electronics Technology (17101-II) > Section: Working with Alternating Current (AC) Circuits

Use should include

- identifying and understanding the parts and functions of an oscilloscope
- manipulating the front-panel controls to adjust the circuits for proper operation, including
  - measuring alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) voltages
  - gaining information about the shape, time period, and frequency of voltage waveforms
- maintaining the oscilloscope according to manufacturer specifications.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What elements are common to all oscilloscopes?
- How do oscilloscopes display voltages?
- What is the purpose of the calibrate control function?
- How is the oscilloscope used in the daily work of technicians?
- How are voltage and time measured?
