OSCILLOSCOPE MATH

WAVE TYPES:

Square Sine Triangle Sawtooth

To find the vertical voltage: count the number of boxes from the crest to the trough.

Multiply this number by the number on the dial that the arrow points to.

To find the horizontal time: count the number of boxes for one wavelength (either from crest to crest, trough to

trough, or from where the wave crosses a grid line, to where the same point on the next wave crosses the same

line)

Multiply this number by the number on the dial that the arrow points to.

s = seconds ms = milliseconds or 1/1,000 seconds µs = microseconds or 1/1,000,000 sec.

To find the frequency: remember that Frequency = 1 / Time. The time must be in seconds. So if the dial was

set to ms or µs then you have to change it to seconds.

For ms, divide your answer by 1000, or move the decimal point left 3 places.

For µs, divide your answer by 1,000,000 or move the decimal point left 6 places.

After the answer for Time is in seconds, then you take 1 divided by that time.
