What
Can You
Do With
Oscilloscope?
Oscilloscopes
are used
by
everyone
from
television
repair
technicians
to
physicists.
They are
indispensable
for
anyone
designing
or
repairing
electronic
equipment.
The
usefulness
of an
oscilloscope
is not
limited
to the
world of
electronics.
With the
proper
transducer,
an
oscilloscope
can
measure
all
kinds of
phenomena.
A
transducer
is a
device
that
creates
an
electrical
signal
in
response
to
physical
stimuli,
such as
sound,
mechanical
stress,
pressure,
light,
or heat.
For
example,
a
microphone
is a
transducer.
An
automotive
engineer
uses an
oscilloscope
to
measure
engine
vibrations.
A
medical
researcher
uses an
oscilloscope
to
measure
brain
waves.
The
possibilities
are
endless.
