Measurement of Amplitude, Time period and Frequency using


CRO.

Aim: To study and observe the frequency of various type of waveforms from
signal generator using CRO and frequency meter.

Apparatus: Signal generator, CRO, Frequency meter.

Theory: CRO is a device which measures AC/DC voltages. At the same time it
measures frequency, time period and amplitude of various signals. It uses
cathode ray tube inside which the waveforms are displayed on the screen of the
CRT. Various controls for operation of the CRO is produced on the front panel.
Frequency meter is an important instrument to measure frequency of AC
supply. In digital frequency meter the signal whose frequency is to be
measured is converted into pulses. Each pulse corresponds to each cycle of the
signal. These pulse are connected to the counter to indicate the unknown
frequency.

Procedure:
1) Set the signal generator on sine-wave at 1KiloHz frequency.
2) Measure this frequency on frequency meter and note it down in the
observation table.
3) Repeat this in above steps by changing the AC voltage.
4) Set the signal generator on square wave, triangular wave and repeat the
same procedure to find out time period and amplitude.
Observation:
1) Time interval measurement
Time period T= [Setting of time/Div(sec)] X horizontal distance measured
2) Frequency measurement
Frequency F= 1/ Time period T
3) Amplitude
A = volt/div x vertical distance measured
Conclusion: Using CRO and signal generator we can find out amplitude, time
period and frequency of different waveforms.

Digital Multimeter

Aim: To study the various measurement like voltage, resistance, capacitor etc.
and check the diode and transistor using digital multimeter.

Apparatus: Digital multimeter, resistors, ceramic capacitors, DC power supply,


signal generator, diode and transistor.

Safety Precautions:
1) Do not use the meter if it is damaged.
2) Do not use the meter for high voltage measurement.
3) Turn off the power in the circuit in order to test the component on the
board.
4) Be alert while working above 600V DC or 30V AC due to shock hazards.
5) While using the probes keep your finger behind the finger guard.

Procedure:
1) AC/DC voltage measurement
a) For AC voltage measurement connect the red test lead to the VIΩ
terminal and black test lead to the common terminal and set the meter
on AC voltage.
b) For DC voltage measurement set the meter on DC voltage.

2) Resistance measurement
a) Set the meter range switch to Ω meter.
b) Connect the probes to the two leads of the resistor.
c) The value indicated on the display is measured as the value of resistor.
d) Compare the value with the color code value of the resistor.

3) Capacitance measurement
a) Set the multimeter on correct range of capacitance measurement.
b) Measure the value of capacitor inserting the capacitor in the appropriate
volt provided on the meter.
4) Diode testing
a) Set the meter range switch to Ω meter.
b) Connect the positive lead to the anode and negative to the cathode and
note the forward resistance of the diode.
c) Reverse the polarity of the diode and note down the reverse resistance
displayed on the meter

5) Transistor checking
a) Set the meter range switch on HFE range.
b) Identify the leads of the transistor in the HFE socket which is labelled as
E.B.C.
c) Read the transistor HFE directly from the display.
d) Never apply an external voltage to the HFE socket. The meter may get
damaged.

Measurement of Voltage, Current, Frequency, Lissajous figures


and Phase difference using CRO.

Aim: To study the application of CRO

Procedure:
A) Alternating voltage is applied to the Y plates while no voltage is applied to X
plates. The vertical length of the line corresponds to peak to peak voltage.
The RMS value of the voltage can be determined by dividing the peak to
peak voltage by 2√2.
B) The value of the current can be calculated by measuring a voltage drop
across a known resistance connected in a circuit.
C) When sinusoidal voltages are applied to X and Y plates simultaneously, the
pattern that is displayed in the CRT screen are called Lissajous patterns,
which may be a straight line, a circle or an ellipse depending on phase and
magnitude of the voltages. The phase angle between the two voltages is
given by
Y1 X1
sin Φ= =
Y2 X2
D) Frequency measurement
The signal whose frequency is to be measured is applied to Y plates and a
standard frequency is applied to the X plate. The internal sweep generator is
switched off. The standard frequency is adjusted until the pattern appears
as circle and frequency of generator is equal to the frequency of signal
applied to the Y plates.
