1. Describe and discuss the concept of oscilloscope “triggering”and how it is implemented in modern oscilloscopes (i.e. how theoscilloscope WORKS internally, and not simply how to use thescope). Develop your description around a block diagram of theoscilloscope. Include “typical” internal oscilloscope signalwaveforms. Work a description of the function of the oscilloscope“trigger” controls into your discussion. The use of one or morereferences, either those cited above or some found on your own,should be useful here. Be sure to properly cite sources of yourinformation, figures, etc. Do not plagiarize!

2. Using precise engineering terminology and possibly with theaid of schematic diagrams and charts, describe, discuss, andexplain the effect that the vertical amplifier COUPLING has on theperformance of the oscilloscope. When is it appropriate to use ACcoupling or DC coupling? Under what conditions might AC couplingintroduce errors into a measurement? Under what conditions might DCcoupling introduce errors into a measurement?

3. Contrast and compare the AUTO with the NORM triggeringmode.

4. a. Define, discuss, and explain the differences betweenprecision, accuracy, resolution, sensitivity, and range as theypertain to measurements or measuring instruments. Consult reference2 or another suitable source. b. Give numerical examples of each,i.e. for each one give a hypothetical set of data and/ormeasurements taken by (or given for) a hypothetical instrument andshow what analysis/interpretation must be done on thedata/measurements to obtain the particular parameter. Then, givethe resulting numerical value for that parameter.
