Making Basic Oscilloscope Time and Amplitude Measurements (Part 4)

Nov. 4, 2021
This video takes a look at basic oscilloscope use.

This video is part of an Article Series: XYZs of Oscilloscopes.

There are at least two different ways to measure voltage and time on an oscilloscope. First we’ll cover the important skill of being able to estimate voltage or time by reading the display (or “graticule”, as we say). Next we’ll demonstrate how to use cursors to measure voltage, time, or both at once!
