Unless you are very experienced with an oscilloscope then it is not advisable to probe high voltages or high power sources. It is possible to electrocute yourself or damage the oscilloscope. Special oscilloscope probes and specific connection methods are needed for probing high voltage and mains electricity signals. The oscilloscopes are replaceable, you are not! We want you to be safe.
[[Electronics/safety|You must read the safety documentation in this link before using this equipment.]]
 
Oscilloscopes can be heavy instruments. Bend at the knees when lifting and ask for help if you find the instrument too heavy to move.
 
Do not leave oscilloscope probes (or any wires) hanging over the edge of a bench or on the floor.

The Basics

An oscilloscope is a piece of electrical test equipment which allows you to visually see an electrical signal shown on a display.

Specification

Starburst, created using X-Y mode and 2 signal generator outputs
  • ITT Instruments Metrix OX800
  • Bandwidth: 20MHz, needs confirming
  • Analogue Cathode ray tube (CRT)
  • 2 channel + Ext trigger
  • 20v to 1mv vertical
  • 200ms to 0.5us horizontal
  • Component tester
  • X-Y mode
  • Issues: [31 March 2016] Functional. Horizontal and vertical deflection are slightly off cal (about 5%), when compared against the Hameg 1KHz 2v cal point
  • Manual: TBD
  • Owner: TBD


Calibration

The spaces oscilloscopes will NOT normally have a calibration certificate. Most will be well outside their calibration date. Having said that it is common to perform a basic oscilloscopes calibration check before each use against a known calibration source to confirm it is suitable for use. Most oscilloscopes have a calibration signal output point on the front panel. Some have rear panel outputs.

Induction

Ask on the mailing list for volunteers to demonstrate the use of any of the test equipment.

Safety

You must read the safety documentation in this link before using this equipment.
