osciloscope 1

[7465]

can any one give me how to check a oscilooscope? i forgot this long time back . I want to check the wave forms of the a 400 v supply line .

1)Select the channel that you wish to use<br>2)Make sure that the scope is set to calibrate<br>3) set the trigger to auto<br>4)set the selected channel to AC andhook up the scope across the load (output)<br>5)Hit auto set (this should show you the waveform)<br>6)remove the unwanted channel so that you can view only the waveform that is being analyzed<br>7)Set your vertical and horizontal axes so that you can observe at least 1 period and both (-)ve and (+)ve peaks<br><br> <p>Gregory Jowi<br><a href=mailtojgreg@sprint.ca>ojgreg@sprint.ca</a><br><a href= > </a><br>Humility is a virtue that is often mistaken for weakness.<br>

Hi,<br>I like to make a little addition.<br>your voltage is 400 volts, that means approximately 1200 volts peak to peak. This voltage stress may damage the input<br>stage of your oscilloscope. (Check your scope's manual if available). So, you better use an attenuator (X10) probe. (Don't forget to calibrate the probe first.)<br>Regards,<br> <p>Azmi Demirel<br><a href=mailto:azzmi@elk.itu.edu.tr>azzmi@elk.itu.edu.tr</a><br><a href=

You may used a high voltage probe for equipment safety (least 400V probe)and scale down as required for a better reading.<br><br>Jayar
