Directions:  This quiz consists of 3 pages and 20 questions.  All the answers for questions are worth 1 point each. Be sure to place your name and section at the top of this page.
 

The following statements are either True or False :

1. To draw a graph your scope needs only horizontal data.

2. It is the sweep generator that makes the unique functions of the modern oscilloscope possible.

3. The sweep generator is often called the “time base”.

4. Every trigger event can be accepted as a trigger.

5. Trigger sources are grouped into two categories, depending on whether the trigger signal is provided internally or externally.

6. On connecting a measurement test point with wire instead of with a probe, the connection would probably load the circuit, the wire will act as an antenna and pick up stray signals.

7. Attenuator probe greatly increases loading the circuit with capacitance from the probe tip.

8. Wave shapes alone tells you everything about signal.

9. The most common probes which reduce voltage are X10 (times ten) passive probes which reduce the amplitude and circuit loading by 10:1.

10. If a signal is periodic it has frequency.
 

Complete the following:

11. Horizontal system contains a __________________________ which produces saw tooth  waveform or

________________ that is used to control the scope’s _______________________.
 

12. In a saw tooth waveform the rising portion of the waveform is called the _____________ and the falling

edge is the___________________ and the time between ramps is the _________________ .
 

13. The ________________________ specifies either a positive edge or on a negative edge. The

________________________ allows you to pick where on the selected edge the ____________________

will take place.
 

14. The __________________ is the time it takes for the electron beam to return to the

____________________ side of the screen to start another sweep.
 

15. The 2200 Series trigger circuits can operate in ________________ modes. Namely,

____________________________________________________________________.
 

16. Circuit loading is _____________________, ____________________________ &

_______________________. For signal frequency less than 5KHz the most important component for loading

is ______________________ .
 

17. ______________________  is a characteristic of all waveforms. It is the amount of displacement from

____________________ . at a particular point of _______________.
 
 

18. ____________________ , ___________________ and _______________________ are parameters of
 

all rectangular waves.
 

19. The ______________ and ____________ measurement in a CRO are two examples of direct

measurements. While __________________ is an example of derived measurement which is based on the

______________________.
 

20. The most common parameters of waveform are

________________________________________________________________________ .
