1.0 Title
Basic Usage of an Analog Oscilloscope
2.0 Outcomes
The desired outcomes to be achieved at the end of the
experiment
After completing this laboratory, student should be able to:
2.1 Apply the basic function of an oscilloscope. ( PLO2-PS-C3)
2.2 Measure, read and record DC voltage in series and parallel
resistance circuit. (PLO5-TS-
P5)
2.3 Present DC current in series and parallel circuit using
standard resistor 1 ohm. (PLO9-LS-
A2)
3.0 Overview
Calibration of the oscilloscope is an important task that is
done before making any measurements
using oscilloscope. Buttons on the front panel of the
oscilloscope have their specific function that
affect the measurement being made. By choosing the correct
button, the measurement taken will
be precise and correct.

5.0 Experiment Procedures
5.1 CALIBRATION OF AN ANALOG OSCILLOSCOPE
Procedures :
1. Turn on the oscilloscope.
2. Chose 0.5 msec/div of the horizontal part and 1 V/div of
VOLTS/DIV selector in the
vertical part.
3. Used X1 probe and put the probe at input Channel 2 and then
select AC at AC-GND- DC.
4. Put probe hook at Probe Adjust point and the other at GND
point.
5. For trigger part, put source to CH2( Channel 2) and Coupling
to DC
6. Vary the CAL dial until the wave on the screen looks like as
Figure 1.
7. Repeat step 3 to step 6 for Channel 1 (CH1 )

5.2 DC MEASUREMENT FOR SERIES CIRCUIT
Procedures
1. Connect series circuit as Figure 2.
2. Select Channel 1 or Channel 2 and let the selector AC –GND –
DC to DC.
3. Hook the probe across each resistor and measure the response
voltages.
4. Now connect a standard resistor 1Ω in series with the other
resistor and put the probe
across the 1Ω resistor.
5. Record the reading.
6. By using Ohm’s law:
𝑉 = 𝐼𝑅
The value of current (A) in the circuit is :
𝐼 = 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑐𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠 1Ω
5.3 DC MEASUREMENT IN PARALLEL CIRCUIT
Procedures
1. Connect series circuit as Figure 3.
2. Select Channel 1 or Channel 2 and let the selector AC –GND –
DC to DC.
3. Hook the probe across each resistor and measure the response
voltages.
4. Connect a standard resistor 1Ω in series with the other
resistor and put the probe across
1kΩ 470Ω
270Ω 20V

The value of current (A) in the circuit is :
𝐼 = 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑐𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠 1Ω
𝐼1 = 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑐𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠 1Ω
𝐼2 = 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑐𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠 1Ω
7. Check the value of the current, 𝐼, using Kirchhoff’s Current
