Lab Report Experiment 1 Using the Digital Storage Oscilloscope EECS 3400 Electronics Lab I by Armen Melkonian with Usman Khalid 9/12/2023
Introduction The purpose of experiment 1 was to familiarize ourselves with the digital oscilloscope by using its broad range of features and functions to graph several different waveforms. Pre-Lab There was no pre-lab required for this experiment. Procedure The oscilloscope has a very intricate front panel full of elegantly labeled buttons. Although useful to the trained eye, the sight was quite overwhelming to a more green user such as myself. This is why the first step of the lab was to connect to the DSO via ethernet ip. Doing this on a web browser allowed for control of all functionality on a desktop computer. From here my lab partner and I were able to display several different waveforms sourced from a function generator such as this triangle wave. From the oscilloscope readings we were able to verify that the wave contained some of the same properties specified on the function generator. For example, Vrms was ~2V, which agreed with the wave function we generated. Upon measuring the voltage of the function generator with a multimeter, we found a DC voltage of ~2V (expected) and an AC voltage of ~.77. We believe that the AC voltage reading is off due to how the
multimeter and DSO calculate RMS voltage. Despite this, all values of the signal are correct and the DSO had generated an appropriate triangle wave for us. For our second test we observed two graphs: 1.) the ac source for a low-pass filter 2.) the passed frequencies in that low-pass filter *Frequency C1 (yellow) - 159.098Hz, C2 (green) - 159.1Hz *Phase difference c1 vs c2 - 46.71 degrees Lasty we used an XY diagram to observe the same phase difference.

Theory The channel 2 voltage should equal = 2Vpp / 10,000Ω. This is about 2*10^-3 V, however I am happy with the 200mV that the DSO displays. Unfortunately there is no fig. 3 image so I am not sure. Discussion I thought that the frequency of C2 would be lower than C1. I am not sure if that is the case and we did something incorrectly, or that we did everything correctly and I just do not know what I’m talking about. I figure that the high frequency signals would be charging the capacitor, and the low frequency signals would be going out to channel 2. I will have to google it.
