Signals and Scopes

Class at the Brickyard Collaborative

Goals:

Learn about electrical signals using oscilloscopes and function generators.

See and hear and measure waves.

  • Relationship between time and frequency and wavelength.
  • Using the scope controls (one-channel)
  • Triggers
  • DC and AC coupling
  • Measuring voltage
  • Measuring frequency

Different types of signals

  • Sine waves
  • Square, triangle, sawtooth, pulse, and other regular shapes
  • Modulation
  • What music looks like.
  • Maybe: play with some analog filters? R/L/C

Two-channel scopes

  • An intro to some Digital signals (serial data & word-clock)
  • X-Y mode
  • Lissajous / Bowditch figures
  • Drawing pictures in X-Y mode
