A. Given the problems above (problems 1 to 4), explain and show your computation for each and

every problem.

Answer the following questions :

Given the figure above, solve the problems below.

1. If the volts per division setting is 5 V/div, determine the signal’s peak to peak value.

Vpk-pk = 12.5V

The wave is 2.5 squares high

2.5 x 5 = 12.5V

2. If the volts per division setting is 5 V/div, determine the signal’s rms value.

Vrms = 4.41941V

Using the value from the last number we use the formula:

1
Vrms = ¿ x Vpk −pk
2√ 2
1
¿ x 12.5 V
2√ 2
= 4.41941V

3. If the time per division setting is 5ms/ div, determine the signal’s frequency.

Frequency = 80 Hz

The wave is 2.5 squares wide for 1 cycle

2.5 x 5 = 12.5 ms or 0.0125 s

Convert to frequency by the formula:

1
f=
period
1
=
0.0125
= 80 Hz

4. If the time per division setting is 5ms/ div, determine the signal’s period.

Period (T) = 0.0125 s or 12.5 ms

By manipulating the formula in the last number we get:

1
Period =
f
1
=
80
= 0.0125 s

B. Given a Tektronix TDS 210 model, draw the façade and enumerate the parts and discuss its uses.

Parts:

1. Main Display – this shows the waves and graphs

2. Vertical Control – this moves the waveforms vertically from the display
3. Horizontal Controls – this moves the waveforms horizontally from the display

4. Trigger controls – this identifies the type of waveforms and can manually be adjusted to produce
a usable display of the input signal.
5. Channel Keys – change between the channels

C. Given the Fluke model in the video link above, draw the façade and enumerate the parts and

discuss its uses.

Parts:

1. Display – this displays the values measured

2. Buttons – this is to switch from the different ranges and functions
3. Selection Knob – this provides different units such as the milliamps and etc.
4. Ports – consists of COM and 10A ports

D. Given the function generator above, draw the façade and enumerate the parts and discuss its

uses.

Parts:

1. Main Display – this displays the frequency level

2. Power switch – this turns on and off the device
3. Frequency Adjustment Knob – this is to adjust the level of the frequency
4. TTL Output – this produces a square wave corresponding to the given frequency
5. Main output – this is the source output of the device
6. Frequency keys – this gives the levels of the frequency
7. Wave keys – Provides the ability to change the settings to waves such as sine, square, and saw
tooth waves.
