 What is a Transient
Signal???
Signals which last for a very short
period of time are referred to as
TRANSIENT Signals.
Examples: Switch bounce, Shock
wave generated from an impact
test, Seismic Signals..
 Run Control
Menu
Run/Stop (Green):
Instrument is continuously
acquiring data
Run/Stop (Red):
Instrument has stopped
Acquiring data
SINGLE : Instrument will
wait for the user defined
event (typically voltage set
by the user)
 Trigger
Menu
Trigger tells the oscilloscope when to
start acquiring data. Normally edge
triggering is done
 Triggering
modes
Normal mode: Displays a waveform when
the trigger conditions are met. Used for
very short signals (*****)
Auto mode: Displays a waveform when
the trigger conditions are met. Used for
all signals
Auto-level mode: can be used only when
EDGE is selected on the front panel
 Coupling
Modes
DC Coupling : Allows both
D.C. and A.C. signal to flow in
to the trigger path.
AC coupling : Allows A.C only
SWITCHES & LOGIC
GATES
 Switches and Related
Terminology
Pole - number of switch contact sets.
Throw - number of conducting positions,
single or double.
Way - number of conducting positions,
three or more.
Open - off position, contacts not
conducting.
Closed - on position, contacts conducting,
there may be several on positions.
 Single pole Double Throw
Switch
(SPDT-Switch)
SPDT can be ON in both positions,
switching on a separate device in
each case. It is often called a
change over switch.
Basic Logic
Gates
 Flip-Flops and
Latches
Flip-Flop and Latches are
sequential circuits which are
built from basic logic gates.
Flip-Flop and latches form the
fundamental unit of memory in
modern computers.
Each flip-flop can store 1 bit of
information.
