What is an Oscilloscope?
4. An oscilloscope (commonly abbreviated to scope or O-scope) is a type of electronic test instrument that allows signal voltages to be viewed, usually as a two-dimensional graph of one or more electrical voltage potentials (vertical axis) plotted as a function of time (Horizontal axis). In addition one can plot a voltage potential (vertical axis) against some other voltage (horizontal axis).
5. Although an oscilloscope displays voltage on its vertical axis, any other quantity that can be converted to a voltage can be displayed as well. The oscilloscope is one...
